Beautiful estate apx 15 min drive from Cortona, and 1-1.5 hrs drive to Tuscan hill towns of Montepulciano, Pienza, and Montalcino. Very friendly, helpful staff. We (2 couples) booked the Superior 2 BR apt, and it was huge! The main floor is up 2 flights of wide stairs into a great room with living/TV/dining areas. Just off the great room... More

This was our second time staying in this hotel. We love the location, the grounds, the pool area, the restaurant, but especially the staff. Everyone was friendly, helpful and went out of their way to recommend nearby places to visit which were off the tourist path. Alessandro was particularly helpful. We plan to return next year!

Beautiful grounds and location. The hotel's concierge, Alessandro, was extremely helpful and went out of his way to be accommodating . The location was great for day trips . The only drawback was not having much of a selection for dinner and one night having only the hotel restaurant . Service was extremely slow and the menu limited and food... More

Borgo il melone is a nice place just outside of Cortona. Our room was spacious and nicely decorated. We have got nothing bad to say about this place but also nothing particularly good to point out. I guess during summer time it is a different experience as the facilities can be used like their pool etc. We had dinner at... More

This hotel is NOT in Cortona. It has a nice view of Cortona, but is in the next town of Comucia in the township of Cortona and is a 15 minute or so drive up to the town. The hotel is very nice with park-like grounds and a great pool area. Cortona and the area around it are awesome by... More

I spent a week with my family (five people in total) and we were very disappointed specially with the facilities. We've chosen the Casa Del Frantoio because it could accommodate comfortably all of us. Actually, it's a very spacious house, but the furniture is old, the kitchen is not complete and it's dark. We were travelling during the winter and... More

We chose this inn based on reviews on TripAdvisor. The inn is just beautiful, the property gorgeous and a great swimming pool which we were able to enjoy even though it was October! Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with a good variety of offerings. The inn is located in the valley below the mountain... More

We stayed here in September, and after reading some of the reviews we were a bit apprehensive. The peole were extremely helpful with any questions we asked. The pool was fantastic and very clean.
