Essential Italy

The location of Rugapiana Bed and Breakfast is ideal for those seeking to live the La Bella Vita. Cortona retains much of its old medieval charm and is well prepared for the visitor. A host of shops and restaurants are on your doorstep.

This recently restored palazzo contains 3 double bedrooms and 3 apartments. The furnishings are in keeping with Tuscan tradition and all rooms and apartments are very comfortable.

‘Massimo (owner of Rugapiana) was very helpful and organised, really hospitable even to the point of giving me an Easter gift on leaving!! Really central to Cortona and its facilities. Close to other places of interest of course too.

As always! Ian of course as efficient as ever, giving additional recommendations to superb restaurant.’
