The Borgo 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.
Restoration The original architectural features of the Borgo have remained essentially unchanged and they can still be recognized in the setup of the residential facilities. The master's manor was surrounded by farmhouses where a variety of farming activities, typical of the Cortona area, were carried out every day. "Casa della Seta" (House of Silk), "Casa del Frantoio" (House of the Windmill) and "Casa dell'Uva" (House of Grapes) are the names of the apartments, reminiscent of the main activities that were once carried out in each building.
Park When you arrive at Borgo Il Melone, you will behold a vast stretch of bright green fields, with an area of almost 9 acres, partially covered by lively patches of flowers ranging from the deep red of rose beds to the delicate purple of lavender shrubs and the dark green of rosemary bushes spreading a lovely scent. Our love for nature and our strong ties with the wonderful land where we live drove us to plant an orchard with 25 different types of fruit trees. The air is alive with the perfume of lavender that we use to make the potpourri to decorate the interiors of the apartments. Borgo Il Melone is filled with the colors, perfumes and gifts of the luscious, authentic, lively and welcoming nature of our land.
Swimming Pool A quiet reserved area of the Borgo is the location of the swimming pool, 65.6 by 32.8 feet long. Our state-of-the-art swimming pool is equipped with a relaxing whirlpool area, is watched by a lifeguard and has showers and a changing room. Plunge into its clear water, surrounded by the green hills that enclose it and enjoy superb serenity and relaxation.
