A Hidden Haven in the Hills of Cortona

Nestled in the rolling hills above the medieval town of Cortona, Arianna’s 15th-century borgo is a place where time slows down, and nature welcomes you with its serene embrace. Like a Franciscan retreat, this enchanting estate exudes peace and harmony, standing along the ancient Via Francigena, a path walked by pilgrims for centuries.

In spring 2025, we embarked on an exciting new chapter: the creation of a Botanical Conservatory, a stunning glass structure immersed in a woodland garden. This magical space will not only be a sanctuary for beauty but also serve a greater purpose, here, we will grow and cultivate the very flowers we use for our events. By nurturing our own blooms, we embrace sustainability, reducing our environmental impact, and ensuring that each flower is organically grown, naturally vibrant, and truly unique.

Looking ahead, we dream of opening our garden to guests, offering immersive workshops and curated experiences. Visitors will have the opportunity to connect with nature, participate in botanical-inspired cooking classes, and enjoy dining under the stars. Every dish will celebrate the essence of the land, featuring edible flowers, seasonal vegetarian delicacies, and hand-selected ingredients from the mountains of Cortona.

Our borgo is not just a place, it’s an experience, a retreat where nature, culture, and artistry come together in perfect harmony. We look forward to sharing its magic with you.
