Our eight spacious apartments are located where a little settlement once stood in the 19th century. The restoration of the set of buildings has been carried out with the uttermost respect for the original architectural features. The Borgo included a manor surrounded by a group of smaller farmhouses where the products of the land, such as oil, grapes, and wheat were collected and processed. Original building materials have been cleverly restored and reused thus combining the typical atmosphere of a traditional agricultural settlement with state-of-the-art facilities suited to the needs of our times. Borgo Il Melone dates back to the beginning of the 19th century when it was a property of the Mancinis, a noble family from Cortona who still owns the entire set of buildings. The Mancini family boasts a wide family tree that includes Girolamo Mancini, scholar, man of letters and patriot who followed Garibaldi in 1860 and 1866. He is the author of memorable biographies, such as "Life of Luca Signorelli", "Life of Lorenzo Valla", "Life of L.B. Alberti", and of dissertations such as "Cortona in the Middle Ages" and "Writes and Codices from Cortona". He was Gonfalonier in Cortona; he was elected Member of the Parliament twice, and was Librarian and Lucumon of the Etruscan Academy. In 1881 he founded the bank 'Banca Popolare Cortona'. A warm, lively, and unique light spreads throughout a landscape of gentle green hills. An ancient settlement surrounded by a huge park full of flowers. A private chapel, on a magical site, that will be all yours on the most beautiful day of your life. A place to come back to, anniversary after anniversary. A corner where to keep your most precious memories and spend time with your loved ones.
