Property Description

This lovely bed and breakfast is the result of a flight of fancy of its young owner: he wanted to offer a sophisticated alternative for the cosmopolitan tourist.

Le Gelosie was conceived to offer all mod cons to its guests, alongside with the utmost discretion.

Each room has a bathroom with shower, Sat Tv, air-conditioning and ADSL access. Le Gelosie is located inside an old palace completely renovated with real mastery, which overlooks Piazza Signorelli, in the town centre, one of the strategic and most lively spots in Cortona. From April to October breakfast is served under the scenographic loggias of the Teatro Signorelli where some scenes of Roberto Benigni's movie, La vita è bella, were filmed. Le Gelosie will be a must for those who are looking for something different and not very demanding. It is a comfortable place and is furnished with very good taste. Because of the limited number of rooms, we advise you to book in advance.
