After booking our one night stay at Dolce Maria we received a gushing email from Paola saying she was looking forward to welcoming us and that if there was anything she could do in the meantime not to hesitate to get in touch. I swiftly emailed her back to ask if we could have a travel cot in our room... More

We stayed for 2 nights at this beautiful, rustic, characteristic hotel and I would have loved to extend the stay. The location is great within the walls of Cortona. The rooms are nicely decorated with unique chandeliers. The bathrooms are very modern. The B&B is very clean. The food at the restaurant is delicious and the service was great. The... More

The place is full of history, yet with all modern facilities, including wi-fi which is essential these days. The location is ideal for anyone spending time in the city and is not to far from the railway station at Carnucia. The hostess makes you feel easily at home.

We only stayed for two nights, but we thought long and hard about asking to stay for the rest of our trip. Our room was beautiful, large, with high ceilings, a chandelier and a secret passageway to a tower room! I actually think that from now on I will be comparing every stay to this one. We were tired from... More

We stayed at Dolce Maria for 6 nights in October, 2012. It was the perfect location for a visit to the hill towns. Paola was the perfect hostess. We loved our room, and the breakfasts. All of the staff were very helpful. We enjoyed our meals at the connected restaurant, also. Our room was large, had a modern bathroom, a... More

Dolce Maria B-n-B is a 15th century home located in the hill town of Cortona and is very close to the town center. It's run by Paola, who is truly sweet, warm and wonderful!

We booked for three nights in January, and were so glad we did. The hotel is run by Paoula and her family, and is right in the centre of Cortona, a few minutes walk from the main square. Paoula could not have been more friendly or helpful from the second we arrived. Our room was very spacious and spotless. The... More

The highest praise for any trip location is that I would return and that I would, without hesitation; recommend it to family and friends. Both are certainly true for this lovely B&B in the charming town of Cortona. Paoula, family, and staff were so warm, attentive, genuine and friendly.
