Cortona hotellia

Plussat: Unique expérience from the start to the beginning

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Loved the 17th century building, but with all the modern comforts. Fine dining. The owner is amazing and passionate about his home and welcomes you like a friend. Short drive to Cortona to see the beautiful village.

Plussat: The property is wonderful! We loved everything

Plussat: fresh, clean , one of the best

Plussat: The attention to detail everywhere was remarkable. The room was spacious, very comfortable and clean. Spa, sauna, steam in the room was delightful and our own private lounge patio on the back side of our room. There were ninja cleaners who somehow tidied up and refreshed constantly for you without ever seeing them. The grounds were lovely. The proprietor is an 8th or 9th generation owner and give his all to this place. Lunch by the pool was relaxing, there was a bountiful breakfast spread every morning and they offered a very haute cuisine in the evenings. There is an incredible ball room available if you want need one. The town at the top of the hill nearby was great for exploring, sightseeing, shopping and dining.

Plussat: Wonderful people, very tasty food and calm location in the countryside

Miinukset: room rates ridiculously high for the services provided

Plussat: we found the hotel, the staff and particularly, david, the owner excellent.all concerned did everything possible to make our stay as perfect as they could.The setting the facilities, the cleanliness and the food were first class. we would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone, we intend to go back later in the year with some friends.

Miinukset: Direction could do with being a bit more exact. the hotel is in the village of Pergo.

Plussat: We thouroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff, particullary the owners, made us feel like part of their family. The setting is very calming, very restful. Unfortunately, it rained alot, so we could not really enjoy the entire grounds. We would definitely return!

Plussat: everything, and very friendly no problem for late arrival. good italien food

Plussat: It was worth searching this hotel, because it is one of the most excellent hotels, in which we were during the last 25 years. The owner- patron David Papi makes a 7-stars feeling in the old villa, the kitchen is on the top.

Plussat: Great location, nice estate Very helpful staff

Miinukset: Basic breakfast, no coffee and tea facilities in room, no iron in whole hotel (quite shocking)

Plussat: The property is beautiful and in a park-like setting.

Plussat: I liked very much the staff who helped us, very service minded. Nice experience with communication and information thru WhatsApp before arriving and during the stay if we had any questions. Helped us with restaurant reservation in Cortona and taxi. Also answered other questions we had during our stay. Vincenzo and his team was very service minded. I recommend this hotel.

Miinukset: The bed may be a bit hard for some people. We solved this with extra blankets. So no worries.

Miinukset: My friend had to leave a day earlier. They did not even bother to clean his room when he left even though the second night was paid in advance. I only found out when I wanted to use it as a second bedroom for myself which was very annoying. Or they may have sold the room once again and that was only an excuse since they did not even allow me to enter the room which I PAID FOR!

Plussat: The room was large, clean and air-conditioned. The grounds are lovely and the staff are very helpful.

Miinukset: The food at the restaurant. One of the worst meals ever.

Plussat: We loved the facilities, including large relaxing grounds. We stayed one night, and wished we could have stayed longer. The breakfast was great. The room very comfortable, and clean. This place was ideal, as we had a car to move around.

Miinukset: GPS took us to the back of the property. However, after calling reception, we got good directions.

Plussat: Kaunis kokonaisuus, ysävällinen henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Aamupala olisi voinut olla runsaampi.

Plussat: Everything. The staff, the room, the breakfast, the beautiful place.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Ympäristö ja rakennukset

Plussat: For our holiday in Tuscany we stayed in this hotel four nights - last year we stayed only one night and we liked the hotel so much that we came back. Everything was perfect - the room, the staff, the location near Cortona, the big parking place, the food and the wine in the restaurant... For sure we'll come again!

Miinukset: - The wi-fi was not very stable from time to time; - I missed fresh vegetables and olives for breakfast.

Plussat: Lovely Italian vibe, gorgeous grounds, staff were friendly and helpful and we had a nice meal in the restaurant.

Miinukset: Had to get to breakfast early otherwise certain foods ran out, for the price there could've been a bit more offered at breakfast

Plussat: Excellent services/very friendly staffs. Home-like environment. Beautiful scene in the villa of this hotel.

Plussat: Very good location, friendly helpful staff, very clean, good local food

Miinukset: Hard bed, no bottled water, no wash cloth or kleenex. one chair, (desk) and a small couch for one. one mirror

Plussat: The grounds were gorgeous. The restaurant was wonderful.

Miinukset: Our room was very dark. I had trouble putting on my makeup and doing my hair. Frustrating. Their is no mirror in the room. Speaking as women, it could have a mirror or vanity to get ready for the day/evening.

Plussat: The location and garden surrounds made it a beautiful place to stay and relax and access nearby towns. In addition the friendliness and professionalism of the staff made it one of the best places we have ever stayed.

Miinukset: there is nothing that we didn't like

Plussat: We had a very wonderful experience while we stayed at Borgo Il Melone. The room and bath were clean and comfortable and very nicely furnished.The staff was very pleasant and very helpful to us and the breakfast presentation was nicely presented and delicious as well.

Plussat: Miljöö on viehättävä vanhoine tiilirakennuksineen ja laajoine tiluksineen.Uima-allas oli ihana, samoin kuin mahdollisuudet viettää aikaa hotellin puutarha-alueella vaikkapa piknik-viltillä....The area of Il Borgo was very beautifull with its old buildings and large garden. The pool was wonderfull and you could spend time having a picnic in the garden, playing with children etc.

Miinukset: Huoneistossa ei ollut ilmastointia, mikä oli pienoinen shokki lähes 40 asteen helteellä (hotellihuoneissa oli). Hotelli sijaitsi vilkkaasti liikennöidyn tien varrella, joten maaseudun rauhasta ei ollut tietoa. Hotellin aktiviteetit, ravintolat yms. olivat vajaakäytöllä keskellä heinäkuuta, esim. allasbaari ei ollut kertaakaan avoinna eikä ruokaravintolaankaan juuri riittänyt asiakkaita. Meille lievä pettymys.

Plussat: Aivan ihastuttavan kaunis paikka, ihana puutarha, upea uima-allasalue. Huoneisto oli erittäin tilava ja mukava. Hyvä sijainti, josta oli helppo lähteä tutustumaan ympäristöön. Huoneisto oli erittäin siisti.

Miinukset: Sängyt voisivat olla pehmeämmät

Plussat: I enjoyed the country-like setting of this hotel, with its generous acreage and fruit trees. The room was large and clean, the staff very attentive and helpful, and we enjoyed the delicious continental breakfast, too.

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Staff / service

Miinukset:

Plussat: Grounds and Gardens and co operation of staff. Excellent location.

Miinukset: No comfortable chair in room. Laundry facilities are a disgrace.

Plussat: Property and grounds were very nice. The staff was also excellent and courteous.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: An outstanding property and great service in an absolutely beautiful part of Italy.

Miinukset: Couldn't fault it!

Plussat: The staff were super friendly and made this trip extra special. It was a luxury hen do for my daughter who was getting married two days later. We had the wine tour and Pierre Francesco was excellent and taught us how to sabre open bottles which was great fun. We went on to have a tasting menu which was out of this world. Elisabetta made everything work for us and we would love to visit again.

Plussat: The view, the luxury, the good and most of all the staff. Professional and friendly staff made us feel at home and cared for.

Miinukset: It’s quite a walk from the dining area to the rooms.

Plussat: Lovely property, lovely room, though several items were broken and unattended to - the toilet seat, and the room telephone were disfunctional. We brought both to the staff’s attention, but no repairs were made.

Miinukset: While the food was very good, the portions were very small and the service was glacially slow - three hours for dinner and we were still hungry - seriously!!!??? The price was steep. We chose not to dine at the property the second night.

Plussat: The property is large and peaceful. Rolling hills, grapevines, fruit trees and roses along the paths.

Plussat: We spent the first 3 nights of our honeymoon here , and it was abselutely fantastic! Even better in real life than photos. Super nice rooms, pool area, spa area and the restaurant is excellent! Close to lovely city Cortona (5min drive) and hotel staff is super helpful and friendly. We will definately come back again!

Plussat: Everything here was perfect! Loved it so much that I can’t wait to go back.

Plussat: The food was absolutely outstanding. The hotel also has a gorgeous indoor pool.

Plussat: Good location.

Miinukset: Some staff unhelpful. Room facilities in need of upgrade,eg,no fire alarm noted in room, no ventilation in bathroom, old worn cupboard.

Plussat: The hotel is beautiful--the Turkish bath was a nice surprise and our room was very clean. The staff was super sweet and accomodating and the food was excellent (although you do pay well for it).

Miinukset: It was pretty sad to see the falcon chained up near reception. I understand the idea of having him there to pay homage to the land's past, but it was a little heartbreaking to be checking out and see him try to fly but couldn't.

Plussat: Il Falconiere is a beautiful setting with amazing accommodations, dining and service. They cater to their visitors.

Plussat: Very short but enjoyable stay. We take advantage of the nice swimming pool and took a walk in the beautiful park surrounding the hotel. Very nice room, good breakfast and overall relaxing environment.

Plussat: charming triple room with a huge antique fireplace and tasteful fabrics, a beautiful pool and peaceful setting, ideal for a quiet time

Plussat: Nice location close to Cortona, an evening shuttle service is offered for 20EUR rtn per room. Staff were friendly and professional. Rooms were OK, we had a superior double and it was smaller and more basic than the booking.com photos suggest. Nice breakfast

Plussat: Very good hotel and after driving for a long time was good to have a swimming pool to refresh. The room was a good size, but with 2single beds put together. It was a very relaxing place. Staff very helpful, specially Gloria! We wish we could have stayed longer.

Miinukset: The address given in the website, when we put it on the GPS, sent us to a completely different place, which was frustrating, as we were driving for too long and we took 1h to find the place, but we had to call the hotel 2x and someone met us in a place, so we could follow him to the hotel. The signs on the street indicating the hotel should be improved, as it’s very hard to see with all the other signs and also you guys should get in contact with whoever is necessary to fix it in the GPS signal, as other 2 other people also had problems fixing the hotel. Breakfast was beautifully exposed, but not so many options, though, for people who doesn’t really like sweet food. The water went off just when we had to have a shower to check out, so, it was a bit frustrating as well, but the young reception guy really tried to help and a plumber was there soon. He let us check out a bit later for that. But on average, our stay was very pleasant!

Plussat: Excellent value for money with good breakfast included. Relaxing grounds and pool.

Miinukset: No restaurant nearby for dinner

Plussat: The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Helpful & very pleasant staff. They must enjoy their job. They exude their happiness.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The room was fantastic, beautiful, comfortable, and clean. Silvia and Laura were precious, wonderful hostesses, excellent travel guides, with great personalities.

Miinukset: We did not stay long enough.

Plussat: Close to Cortona without the hassle of parking or lugging your bags up steep streets. Staff were excellent particularly Laura

Miinukset: Nothing comes to mind

Plussat: Nice place and kind staff

Miinukset: More cakes at breakfast

Plussat: The hotel located in very quite place near by Cortona.The swimming pool was nicely positioned where you can enjoy the view of Toscana and relax.

Miinukset: The location of the hotel was very difficult to find. Our navigation system did not help us to find the hotel and led us to different location, also the place was relatively close.

Plussat: This place is fantastic. The buildings and grounds are wonderful, the views are perfect, the staff are friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The only thing that could have been improved was the have the abilty to get a cup of coffee during the day. We were in a room which had a minibar so we were ok for cold drinks but some of the great coffee they served for breakfast would have been good later on during the day.

Plussat: no internet!!! unpolitly stuff (women) when we check out on 16th of Aug,uncomfortable dresser.

Miinukset:

Plussat: This has to be the most beautiful place to stay in the area, as the setting amongst olive orchards , grape vines and fruit trees is amazing with views across the Tuscan landscape , the distant bells from churches on the hillside.There is not enough space here to describe how perfect the hotel and staff are. Bellissimo.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: the location-the swimming pool-

Miinukset: the room was too humid, no value for money!

Plussat: Staff were very helpful. Beautiful location.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The hotel staff was very friendly. Our room was very large and comfortable for only 2 people. We loved the view of Cortona in the distance.

Miinukset: The grounds were not as groomed as we had expected but possibly it was due to the fact that it was still early in the spring.

Plussat: The park is amazing!

Miinukset: The room was basic, but clean and comfortable

Plussat: All good thanks

Plussat: Cortona resort and Spa was our favourite accommodation From the spots we stayed in Italy. The hotel Property was so beautiful, rooms were spacious and clean, the staff were incredibly helpful....they really knew their wines, breakfast was so good...I had fresh croissants and pastries every day. We ate dinner in the restaurant and the food was great. I would highly recommend this resort. I will come back again.

Miinukset: I loved everything

Plussat: This was my husband and my favourite stay of our whole trip. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The grounds were incredibly breathtaking and our villa was so comfy. From the on-site spa and restaurant to the pools and service, we were in heaven so much so that we wish we booked a longer stay! Needless to say, Cortona Resort & Spa was the calm oasis we needed in between busy city visits.

Plussat: We had a great stay at the Cortona Resort and Spa. Our rooms were very large and comfortable - they were larger than they appeared on the website and everything was very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful - we were made to feel very welcome and right at home. Breakfast was included in our room rate and there was a good selection on offer each day - the coffee was fantastic! The last few nights we were there, the temperatures had dropped considerably at night but the hotel was lovely and warm/ cosy.

Miinukset: We didn’t eat at the hotel in evenings as the menu was a little too complex for our teenagers. Whilst they are not fussy eaters, some of the options were still a bit of a stretch for them so we chose to eat out!

Plussat: It is a beautiful quiet property. Great for some rest and relaxation. Excellent and helpful staff.

Miinukset: It is at the bottom of the hill from the main town of Cortona. This was not that big a deal as you can get a ride for dinner. You can walk, which we also did, but it is about a 30 - 40 minute uphill jaunt. So not for the elderly or disabled.

Plussat: Super friendly staff, who paid special attention to our 2.5 year old daughter. Heated outdoor pool was excellent as we stayed there beginning of October. We got a spacious room and the everyday cleaning was very good. Food at the restaurant excellent although a bit higher priced than normal in Italy. Good knowledge of wines by the restaurant staff and they had personalized recommendations. All staff spoke above average English compared to rest of Italy.

Miinukset: A coffee & tea maker in the room was the only thing missing, next to some amenities at the spa (scrub, body lotion, ...).

Plussat: Very nice accomodations. Semi minimalist but it was very adequate. Staff was very friendly and helpful and grounds were great. Very roomy apartment like room,

Plussat: Very relaxing atmosphere - peaceful and a sense of being "away from it all" . Very convenient to centre of Cortona which was the purpose of the trip.

Miinukset: Probably the lack of a lively bar and area to have a drink outside of one's room

Miinukset: The distance to the city of Cortona make it necessary to travel by car.

Plussat: peaceful and great staff

Plussat: The location in beautiful and it is only 4 km from Cortona . The staff is very friendly. Dinner is bad, lousy cooking and very expensive (30euro voor evening dinner without drinks and very poorly quality of the food) Afther 3 evening meals I always had dinner in town.

Miinukset: See above about dinnner and it was also very difficult to have a drink or a snack during the day. There is no place to sit when weather is bad, unless in your room.

Plussat:

Miinukset: Hotel is during the night very difficult to find. Once on the correct road there is no clear entrance of the Hotel to be seen

Plussat: Room was quite big, very clean and comfortable. The staff is great! The place is very nice and relaxing!

Miinukset:

Plussat:

Miinukset: very poor breakfast choise

Miinukset: Uncomfortable bed

Plussat: Nothing.. the guy at breakfast DAVID was great very friendly and polite

Miinukset: Poor Having driven over 20 hours straight from the UK I arrived a day early.. thinking that bthe hotel would be pleased to have the fee for another nights stay..I made my way into the hotel and in Italian asked the lady behind the counter who looked like she had not slept for 5 days.. could I book another night she looked at me and said I don't understand.. then I tried again and she was gruff.. frowning and rude.. then after I showed her my reservation she then said In perfect English.. " We have a room but it's at a premium price of €69" I felt like there would be options and if I could have cancelled my reservation I would have.. DONT bother BOOKING here... Do what I did drive the 3km into CORTONA AND STAY at the wonderful HOTEL SAN LUCA in the main square.. piazza Garribaldi.i was greeted by Chiara who was welcoming smiling and spoke perfect English after we had greeted each other in Italian. Regarding the Nuova Centrale... It's neither new or central..it's in another town called Camuccia.. the stay got worse at breakfast.. Carmen proceeded in the morning. To sneeze into her hands.. before asking me in Italian.. do I want ham and salami.. I then watched her open packets and put (with her hands) my 3 slices of cheese and wafer thin ham... And the worst cheapest sliced bread.. the breakfast is rubbish you get one Cappuccino..and the selection must have been purchased from a local Penny Market.. the cheapest of cheap.. Don't bother staying here..it's rubbish.. Craig my pics are from the Breakfast..

Plussat: Ishmael was at the desk waiting for us and assisted us in every way. He was polite and informative in every way. We were very appreciative of his advise as to where to park, eat and sites to see. The hotel was not fancy but was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Miinukset: Everything was fine.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Close to station (although not in a straight line as indicated!) The single room had a massive double bed! Nice terrace on roof with good views.

Miinukset: No fridge in room, despite being on the list of amenities.

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and hotel was in a good location. Would stay there, again.

Plussat: clealiness and attitude

Miinukset: airconditioning

Plussat: Owner was very helpful

Plussat: Very clean. Helpful staff.

Miinukset: The only comfort problem was that it was very noising during siesta (it was 40 centigrade so I really wanted to be inside). There isn't much they can do about the traffic outside, but there was a lot of noise inside, loud TVs, people yelling etc.

Plussat: Friendly staff, great value.

Miinukset:

Plussat: convenient and clean hotel and courteous staff

Miinukset:

Plussat: Everthing

Plussat: Beautiful place, nested in vineyard, great hospitality, wonderful breakfast . I could have stay there for ever. Best place I stayed in Italy. 2 minutes from old town Cortona

Miinukset: The room was quite dark, we were not feeling comfortable. Additionally some mosquitoes perturbated the night. Also the place was very isolated. The road to access is a dirt track, and it was closed so had to take some diverted track.

Miinukset: No restaurant and only driving distances to eat.

Plussat: The location is great, view is spectacular. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Super breakfast.

Plussat: Fabulous hotel with equally fabulous staff Many Thanks Steven and Helen Baker

Plussat: The surrounding countryside is beautiful and the hotel itself is very quiet and pleasant looking.

Miinukset: They could provide more and better quality food at breakfast (although the cheese was excellent)

Plussat: really friendly staff, a room with real character and a tasty breakfast. Excellent!

Miinukset: The wi-fi signal wouldn't reach our 2nd floor room, and strangely had no upload for some reason.

Plussat: This is a delightful faclity and the staff absoutely wonderful. The breakfasts are fabulous with all fresh breads and fruits and meats on a beatiful patio.

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Excellent stay. Very good breakfast under the shade of the Tuscan pines. Clean and cozy historical room. Very big swimming-pool, with an amzing view of Cortona.

Plussat: I liked the uniqueness of the hotel, the quiet and relaxed atmosphere, the beautiful location.

Plussat: location, helpfulness of staff, facilities

Miinukset:

Miinukset: Rooms, sevices (internet, TV, no dining beside breakfast,

Plussat: very charming hotel and staff, great location but hard to find

Miinukset: hard to find

Plussat: beautiful surroundings,very peaceful.Helpful and friendly staff

Miinukset: Room furnishings and particularly bathroom very disappointing Room was almost gloomy

Plussat: What an amazing villa! Loved everything about this place, especially the friendly dogs! Staff were lovely and always helpful. We had dinner at the Villa which was very nice, breakfast was generous and tasty. The pool area is very relaxing, room was luxury - loved the huge shower in our room. Walking round the villa there are views and sunsets everywhere! There are only a small number of rooms so it feels very intimate compared to a hotel. Wine was really nice and well priced. I would highly recommend!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful Villa with large clean room and great staff!

Plussat: Amazing rooms and grounds. The hotel is in truly amazing vineyard and the decor is worthy of a magazine article. This is my new go to stop while in Italy.

Plussat: Area

Miinukset: All the lights were turned off at night so we had to use iPhone torch. The small in the room was quiet heavy so we had to leave the window opened for a while. Some holes in the shower. Cold atmosphere

Plussat: Great place to stay for couple of nights, the property is huge and very clean, the rooms are big and nice, the place is designed like luxury villa, the staff is great and nice, the food is fresh and delicious! I'll definitely come back to stay there in my next visit to Italy!!!

Plussat: Everything is just perfect!

Miinukset: Regret to stay only one night! Maybe lost a sleep shirt there, and maybe it’ the sign to go back again.

Plussat: WE LOVED EVERYTHING. WE LOVED LIISA WE LOVED THE HOUSE.

Miinukset: NOTHING

Plussat: We spend some days of our honeymoon there and it was the best part of the trip! The property is beautiful and the room was beautiful and comfortable. The staff was always very nice and helped us a lot. We loved staying there, just wished we could stay longer :)

Plussat: very relaxing, great breakfast

Miinukset: breakafast was great, nice pool,

Plussat: Hotel was beautiful, wine was fantastic, and the countryside was absolutely breath taking.

Miinukset: It would be nice if there was some means of transportation offered thru the hotel instead of having to take a taxi

Plussat: Beautiful grounds and setting. Old monastery. Lovely.

Miinukset: They forgot to put sheets on one bed. Otherwise, it was find.

Plussat: friendy staff, beautiful building

Miinukset: parking availability seemed a little hit and miss for such a large hotel

Plussat: I found the staff very helpfull, the building interesting, comfortable and quiet. The food was excellent.

Miinukset: The restaraunt cannot cope with a full hotel.

Plussat: Excellent personnel and restaurant/wine list. Location is nearby highhway A1 exit /very good for night stop during tranist to the south or while travelling in Toscana.

Plussat: The friendliness of the staff. The food was exceptional - delicious and innovative. The hotel's position makes it an ideal place to travel out from. It was homely and family like. We felt relaxed and at home.

Miinukset: I honestly cannot think of a thing.

Plussat: The rooms were clean, the staff really friendly, and the food was excellent. Good buffet breakfast that also had scrambled eggs and bacon, along with the traditional Italian fare - the owner even made us a second cappuccino. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

Plussat: The staff was very nice, helpfull and comprehensive. Good location.

Miinukset: The shower was broken so we did not have to pay for the room.

Plussat: The room was excellent - very up to date facilities (bathroom, etc.) and right in the centre of town.

Plussat: The location was in the heart of Cortona. Clean, good sized and well appointed room. Small quaint establishment reasonably priced with the most helpful proprietor.I would recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone.

Plussat: I liked everything.

Miinukset: Perhaps breakfast in nearby shop needs little improvement.

Plussat: Very helpful staff who reserved at restaurants and taxis. Great location in heart of Cortona. Comfortable, clean room with modern conveniences.

Miinukset: Rooms face the street so be ready for early morning hmmm of shops opening...

Plussat: Andreas was very helpful and went above and beyond to accomodate us. The hotel is 20 yds off the Piazza Signorelli so very close. There is a parking area outside the wall on the same street, which made it easy-you can even drive in and drop off luggage then go back and park. The breakfast was at the piazza which is always fun for people watching! Beautiful, charming little town and great hotel

Miinukset:

Plussat: The hotel is in the perfect place in Cortona. Andrea is a great host and the room was very clean and well decorated. We loved it.

Miinukset: We could have used an extra blanket.

Plussat: Andrea was very helpful location in cortona was very convienent

Miinukset:

Plussat: very pretty original interiors, extremely nice staff, beautiful location

Miinukset:

Plussat: Just a few miles outside of Cortona this small hotel gets to take advantage of its immediate neighbors- tennis courts, large swimming pool and a great restaurant. All use the same name but are independently owned - at one time under one ownership.

Miinukset: The hotel itself is small but it is up to date with some rooms offering kitchenettes. There is an elevator so luggage is easy to maneuver to the upper floors. The air conditioning is weak - consider just opening the windows for the fresh air. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast is simple but good and the coffee excellent. Very clean with nice bathrooms. Easy drive into Cortona from the hotel. Would suggest luggage racks in the rooms - used chairs as luggage racks.

Plussat: wonderful experience, inexpensive, perfect

Plussat: A good location, once I was able to locate the hotel. Location was very poorly signed and the road was not in my gps.

Miinukset: The hotel had very few guests (this time of year) and I felt it was a very desolate location. No around the clock staff.

Plussat: Excellent staff---very friendly and courteous, and went above and beyond the call of duty for us.

Miinukset: Unfortunately, we did not greatly enjoy our stay at Seven. This is due mainly to the fact that the hotel is not in Cortona per se. I can't believe no one mentions this in their reviews. To go anywhere, you have to take a cab to and from the hotel, which is going to cost at least 10 euros everytime. Gets pretty expensive. We found this very frustrating. Also, there are only 4 cabs in the entire town. Also, everything within the "resort" is closed, including the restaurant. I understand it's the slow season, but they could and should mention this on their web site so you know. We just felt very isolated with nothing to do. Also, we gave a poor cleanliness score because there were huge spiders and bugs in our room, which was disturbing.

Plussat: The hotel was great! Good private parking; cozy apartment with nice kitchen, bathroom and balcony.

Plussat: The location and cost / benefit are excellent for those who are traveling by car.

Plussat: This is the best hotel i have ever stayed in italy. Staff nice and willing to help; rooms clean, very nice and comfortable. i definitely recommend it to everyone

Miinukset:

Plussat: Nice play to stay as you get big appartment with fully equipped kitchen. Location is outside Cortona, but you can either go there by car (few minutes) or by foot (it it uphill, but on the other side, when you are returning to property it is all the way donwhill. There are shops and supermarke nearby and free parking 50 meters away

Plussat: - Comfortable enough to meet basic requirements and quick stop over. - 10 minutes walk from the train station.

Miinukset: - No kettle to boil water when kitchen is available - Hot water runs out fairly quickly so prepare for quick 1 minute showers - Only provided 1 toilet roll with no extras available in room or cupboards.

Plussat: Big apartmant

Miinukset: Bathroom is kind of scary, no parking on property, lady does not speak any other languages only Italian. Dark inside.

Plussat: Good place, located near to the Cortona. Big room and bathroom.

Plussat: The house was spacious and very clean. The landlady was a very nice lady.

Miinukset: The area was a bit quiet for us but perfect if you like this sort of thing.

Plussat: I wanted to say thank you to the hostess. We really liked the view from the terrace. Two terraces with a gorgeous view. The kitchen is very nice. Everything was clean and comfortable. I would like to return.

Plussat: I was very happy with the size of the facility. and the cleanliness. the location was great and central, also close to the train station. I enjoyed the stay very much and would come back if I could. The staff was friendly and understanding. I'd say is worth the money.

Miinukset: There was nothing that I really disliked. I was happy there.

Plussat: The view from the apartment is so beautiful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: A great apartment in a great location, with an excellent host! Thank you Francesca!

Plussat: Loved the view, Italian charm, very spaciousness, and great, easy walk to town center. Francesca was so helpful and available for questions, check in, and great suggestions. Can't wait to come back again. This is everything, and more than what we were hoping for!! Thank you.

Miinukset: This wasn't a problem for us but like most walled towns, you need to park down the hill so be prepared to walk up hill to apartment and then up a few flights of stairs to get in. Worth the climb once you see the view

Plussat: Delightful hostess, lovely light and airy rooms which were beautifully decorated. Interesting old furniture. All was spotlessly clean. Excellent situation with view over the valley and only five minutes walk from main piazza.

Plussat: There is so much to love about staying at Appartamenti Belvedere, the host Francesca was so lovely to deal with and I felt very welcome. The location is exceptional. Cortona captured my heart and I didn't wish to leave. I would hesitate to stay here again in Francesca's lovely apartment. Highly recommend!

Miinukset: No recommendations, it was perfect for my needs.

Plussat: The VIEW of the valley was superb...the sunrises, sunsets, the pigeons playing on the rooftops, the cathedral bells....well-appointed kitchen, lots of hanging space in closets, comfortable beds and sweet-smelling linens, good bath space and shower, spacious rooms, very nicely decorated, gracious and helpful host.

Miinukset: Nothing, really.

Plussat: Window view

Miinukset: Hard to get parking, difficult to find apartment location, picture presentation on website looked much better than reality.

Plussat: Super clean, extra linens, amazing location.

Miinukset: Beds could have been a little softer.

Plussat: Location was great and the view fantastic.

Miinukset: Kitchen was very small. Well equipped but not much room.

Plussat: The apartment offered wonderful views over the Tuscan valley below the hilltop town of Cortona. The set up was nice and the apartment had lots of space including 2 bedrooms, a living room, a small kitchen. The apartment had a kitchen and washing machine which was a big plus. The owner lives in the building and was very helpful when we asked for assistance.

Miinukset: This apartment had no internet capabilities. We had to find internet cafes in town to have internet access...hours were irregular. The other amenities that we wished the apartment had were a TV with English channels or a DVD player. We would also have liked a microwave in the kitchen.

Plussat: absolutely a gem...we actually wept when we saw the view from the Dream apartment...convenient, charming, spacious.

Miinukset: having to leave

Plussat: The ability to cook.

Miinukset: Had to pay for air conditioning if you wanted it and the washing machine would not spin the washing.

Plussat: convienient for cortona town

Plussat: The location and view were amazing! The apartment was located on the perimeter of the town wall so there was a vast view of the Tuscan landscape below. It was within walking distance to everything in town and it was nice to walk uphill on the way there, but downhill on the way home. Our apartment didn't have a balcony, but it faced the street so we could pull up our chairs to the open windows and enjoy the view over a glass of wine in the evening or a croissant and coffee in the morning. It was great having laundry facilities and cooking facilities in the apartment. It was well equipped with dishes and appliances.

Miinukset: Our apartment was quite cluttered with ornaments and knick-knack tables - reminded me of my Grandma's place. There needs to be less knick-knacks and more clean surfaces on which to put one's belongings. The bed, bedroom and bathroom were quite small and cramped - the bed was not quite big enough for two people. The apartment was very dark and musty smelling, but those two problems could be eliminated when we opened the windows. I was surprised there was a cleaning fee at the end of our stay.

Plussat: I loved throwing open the shutters to see the sunshine and the fog over the valley below.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The room was gorgeous, and the views were spectacular. I would recommend this room! The location within Cortona was perfect, and everything is within walking distance. My wife and I had a tremendous time!!!

Miinukset:

Plussat: The location was good, the bathroom was spacious and the presence of a washing machine was a plus.

Miinukset: The apartment was dark. The first apartment we saw lacked adequate lighting, had little ventilation and smelled musty. The second apartment we were shown was better, though smaller. We were told there might be a cleaning charge but were not told the amount until checkout, and it seemed excessive (52 euros for two apartments for three days). I did not feel the hotel website accurately described the apartments (example: the "private garden" advertised was actually a courtyard shared by four units). I would recommend this apartment only if descriptive materials were more accurate/complete.

Plussat: oma sisäänkäynti kuin oma asunto pieni viihtyisä piha jossa oma pöytä vieressä katu jolta avara näkymä kotoisa varustetaso

Miinukset: hieman pimeä ikkuna korkealla, vanhan tuoksu

Plussat: Everything! The 'Dream' apartment on the first floor is both stylish and comfortable, and there was a very warm welcome. The view is gorgeous. Also walkable to all facilities in Cortona.

Miinukset: We liked everything.

Plussat: This was a great little appartamenti in a fabulous location.

Miinukset: We had to pay cash because their credit card machine was broken.

Plussat: The friendly owner and her family. The setting was also beautiful.

Miinukset: The only problem was the tv did not have multi languages (English), also we would have appreciated a few more cleaning utensils, E.g dish cloth, tea towel, washing up liquid.

Plussat: Exceeded expectations with regards to friendliness of staff & serenity of atmosphere. Treated like one of the family. Location turned out to be more appealing than anticipated, given that it is some kilometers from Cortona, but this helped in making it easier to get to a number of other locations that we were able to explore. Not a practicable option without car transport though. Best of 11 different accommodations booked for our holiday on almost every criteria.

Miinukset: Without a map and detailed directions, finding the place is not easy if you are not familiar with Italian naming conventions. There are 3 Montecchio's in Tuscany alone.

Plussat: Staff were very friendly. The apartment (bigger than we've booked) was in excelent order - clean and very functional, old style house.

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: Super Hotel in the Center of Cortona. Nice rooms. Very friedlich owner & staff. Restaurant is excellent.

Plussat: Great place to stay in Cortona. It is like sleeping in a renaissance palace with all the decorations and furniture of the period. Good restaursnt offering local cuisine and wines. This is the second time we were here. Wonderful hosts who love their work.

Plussat: Paola is a wonderful hostess. She drove us down to get our bags out of the car and up to the front door. She runs a wonderful little restaurant in the same building and out of the many outstanding meals we had in Italy, hers may have been the best. The location was great. Just a short walk up hill to the piazza and all the stuff to see and do. As with most of these older properties there is no lift. Be prepared to potentially climb a lot of stairs.

Plussat: Paola (hostess) is amazing and her staff are excellent. Well located and incredibly helpful.

Plussat: Fantastic location easy walking distance to the central piazza once you arrive. There is an incredible sweeping west view of the surrounding countryside. You take a secret spiral staircase to the rooftop and watch the sunset!

Miinukset: The property is great; however the town of Cortona has infamously steep climbs with your bags up from parking just outside the walled town. As long as you are reasonably fit it is doable but may take some effort.

Plussat: All was fantastic!

Plussat: A well established guest house near the Piazza della Repubblica. Whilst a little tired in places it was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was functional, and Paula's homemade cakes were a real treat. We were in a good sized family room at the top of the house (lots of stairs) which was fine.

Miinukset: The only negatives were the noise from the kitchen and courtyard which went on until midnight both nights, even with the windows closed and ear plugs you could still hear the music; and the hotel wifi didnt reach our room. Overall nice place, great location, clean and comfortable.

Plussat: I cannot say enough about how wonderful the people are at Dolce Maria. We called when we got into the train station at Camucia and they drove down and picked us up. The b and b is in the perfect location and was so cozy and we had everything we needed. We had dinner next door at the family restaurant and it was some of the best food we had! They explained the food and told us all about it and then made sure we loved it ~ and we did! When we go back, we want to have a cooking lesson. Will definitely return to Dolce Maria.
