Cortona hotellia

Plussat: The whole place is just magical, the building , the grounds, the views, the decor Huge room with an amazing bathroom

Miinukset: Breakfast needs a little attention, and the gardener started mowing the lawn very early

Plussat: Incredible great stuff and service. Fantastic view and place.....You feel like at home!

Plussat: Dinner with wine pairing

Plussat: Loved the relaxed atmosphere! People were so friendly and helped organise a truffle hunting trip as well as a cooking lesson with Roberta! Both were superb. The wine is great and it really is fantastic for views and sunsets. Pool area is good. The location is also perfect for exploring this part of Tuscany.

Miinukset: The whole stay was fantastic but just a small few points. Mosquitos are vicious so be prepared. Pool could do with some slightly updated beds. I know minimalist is the idea but a more hooks/shelves in the bathroom would be helpful.

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: 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: 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: Unique expérience from the start to the beginning

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The hotel is small - 15 rooms, which is delightful - you have the ability to get to know other guests. David, the owner (this has been home to his family for 7 generations). Amazing food - truly gourmet...beautiful rooms with all the modern conveniences (very comfortable bed) AND the grounds are absolutely lovely. You feel you have been transported in time - We loved the property & David is an outstanding host! You will love Cortona - we will be back.

Miinukset: Nothing - everything was perfect!

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: 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: 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: It’s very close to the main square in the old town. The room is spacious with a private tower about 53 steps up and you will have a better view there.

Miinukset: WiFi is a problem as other guests claimed. But I have a TIM card so it’s OK for me.

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.

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 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 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: Location

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: Breakfast very good. I had an evening meal most evenings in the restaurant and the food was excellant. Staff were extremely helpful and I am already planning to book next year.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast was wonderful each morning and the restaurant was perfectly Italian along with the selection of wine. Would definitely recommend a stay here when visiting Cortona.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The restaurant atmosphere and food were fantastic. Omar was super efficient and very helpful. Pool was lovely to cool off in.

Miinukset: The sofa bed was very uncomfortable

Plussat: We really enjoyed our 3 night stay here. It felt like a big family. The location was good as it was only a 7 minute drive to the old town of Cortona and just a bit longer to the lake. It was nice to go back each afternoon and swim then eat dinner out on the verandah. The rooms were spacious. If I was going back to the area I would definitely stay there again.

Miinukset: It would have been nice to have a topper of the bed as it was a bit firm. The only problem we found was they allow dogs in the restaurant, which is apparently common in Italy but the dog from next door kept coming in and barking, hanging around looking for food then at breakfast 1 morning it did it's business next the table where we were eating. They did clean it up fairly quickly but we had to leave the restaurant as it was just too smelly.

Plussat: bathroom amenities

Miinukset: no wifi in room 9

Plussat: Extremely kind staff and food was excellent

Plussat: wonderful host, beautiful room, excellent breakfast and dinner in their restaurant

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Quaint rural location that was very peaceful and relaxing. Staff was exceptionally attentive remembering you by name and doing everything they could to make your stay the best. Food was very good as was wines

Miinukset: Ability to stay longer would have been nice but Unfortunately other places to go

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: Great location, friendly staff. Vincenzo was very helpful.

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: 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 pool, garden, home cooked dinner, breakfast buffet, cooking class and everything Claudia recommended was breathtaking!Claudia and all her helpers Rosa, Paula and even her Sister Mimosa were extremely friendly and helpful. Claudia is the best host we have come across all our travels around the world.

Miinukset: We would preferred having wifi in our room and not being limited to the garden or communal area for Internet.

Plussat: Totally gorgeous full of character. Wonderful just sitting in the garden or by the pool. Claudia and team so kind and couldn't do enough to help us . Fabulous.

Miinukset: Own vehicle very necessary as this is a B&B with nowhere to walk to for food/drink except a minimart. But drink available in house and food could be ordered specially. Also great homemade meal available twice a week. Taxi necessary to visit hilltop town of Cortona..quite pricey.

Plussat: Il Sole Del Sodo is an idyllic place. Enough privacy to enjoy on your own, but also common areas , and delicious dinner with local dishes cooked by the lovely host Claudia, twice a week .

Plussat: The setting the staff and the kindness of everyone!

Miinukset: Everything. SIMPLY THE BEST!

Plussat: Claudia and the team were amazing hosts, the rooms were lovely and the location was very near Cortona. Claudia is an excellent chef - we got to experience the local cuisine at very affordable prices. I would highly recommend this place to stay

Plussat: The villa is lovely and the owner is a wonderful lady. Very helpful and very accommodating.

Miinukset: The location

Plussat: My mother and I loved our stay at Il Sole! We were greeted by the most wonderful, friendly and welcoming of hosts - Francesca and her dear cousin Claudia. You ladies are pure gold! This charming Italian country house property is located at the foothill of Cortona and it is only a 15 minute walk into town and very close to the train station of Camucia-Cortona. Thank you Francesca and Claudia for making our stay comfortable and truly unforgettable! Thank you for your hospitality! Bacio a tutti - ti mandiamo il nostro amore!

Plussat: The breakfast was amazing. So many choices and they coffee was so really good. Enjoyed eating on the patio outside. The rooms were charming and the host even prepared a lovely dinner for a few of the guests. It had the charm I was looking for when staying in Tuscany.

Miinukset: I liked everything. The hostess Claudia was really helpful in telling us about the winery's we could visit and day drives to enjoy the country side. The beds were comfortable and clean.

Plussat: The hostess was kind and gracious. The location was fantastic and the scenery is unmatched. We loved the views, the pool and property, the tiny town where is was located, and the accommodations were just what we needed.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Great breakfast, lovely and very helpful landlady, wonderful location, beautiful panorama. We were with my daughter and we love it!

Plussat: The location is very good and very quiet

Miinukset: Had to share bathroom with 3 other people and the shower was a little strange. No towels and hairdryer. No close by place to buy food and drinks.
