When I was visiting Tuscany, I made a beeline for Cortona a wonderful historic place! This hotel was amazing, I only stayed for one night as a treat from my boyfriend. It was great, really spacious rooms witha romantic atmosphere, like most of Italy! Would highly recommend it and hope to go back again soon, when I have finished my... More

Excellent location and central to the main square of Cortona - get a taxi from train station to hotel - unless you are super fit as the approach is steep. You can ring ahead and hotel will order taxi to meet your train - cost €10 or €2 on bus and a good cardiovascular workout from bus terminus to hotel.... More

I think we would have enjoyed this hotel if we had been more careful in choosing our room. We had a relatively small window looking out onto a small dark courtyard. The room itself was pleasant enough, very clean with a spacious bathroom. The hotel is in a perfect location to explore Cortona. Close enough to walk everywhere. I guess... More

All I can say is yes, if coming to Cortona, you must stay here. This quiet boutique hotel is simoly outstanding. The decor is gorgeous from the moment you enter the door. The staff is wonderful and most helpful in every area. The rooms are huge and decorated beyond belief. Each room has its very own decor, with every detail... More

If you ever find yourself planning a trip to Italy and expect to be anywhere near Cortona, you should consider the Hotel San Michele for your stay. This lovely 16th Century period hotel is only about twenty steps off Cortona’s main square and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. From Francesca, the lovely front desk manager, to Mateo and...

In a gorgeous old building with helpful staff, large rooms, air-conditioning, elaborate breakfast and seconds from the main buzz. We only stayed one night but it was a great spot to stay for popping in and out of the main piazza and Via Roma to eat, drink, shop and watch passers-by. We even joined in a sing-along on the piazza... More

This hotel was a delight. It was appallingly hot during our stay, and the air conditioning was excellent - it meant that one woke refreshed. It is a very attractive 16th century building right in the centre of the pretty town, appealingly furnished in period style. Our room was not one of the largest, but extremely comfortable and well appointed.... More

We traveled around Tuscany without making any hotel reservations and this hotel was recommended to us by a stranger who also made a call to the hotel to check if anything was available. We stayed in the apartment at the top floor with a beautiful view. The whole hotel had a medieval charm to it so we had the feeling... More

Hotel San Michele was one of the most pleasant surprises of our trip to Tuscany. I booked the room because I felt it was a good value and had some relatively good reviews. Every expectation I had was greatly exceeded. Our room was wonderful and very spacious. It was an oasis in which we enjoyed daily afternoon naps and reveled... More
