My partner of 23 years and I were guests at Il Sole del Sodo for 5 nights at the start of September this year. We arrived late at night after a zippy 2 1/2 hour drive from Pisa airport. Jim and Paula our hosts stayed up late to greet us with big hugs and smiles and a light dinner to... More

Amazing place to spend some quiet time. I booked this B&B after a business trip on my way home. I was met by Jim (host) at the train station and he gave me a ride to the B&B, which was only a few minutes away. Jim & Paula are amazing hosts and went well out of their way to make... More

We enjoyed a wonderful week long stay at the base of the lovely hill town of Cortona, Italy at the lovely Il Sole del Sodo B & B.

This was my first visit to Tuscany and also my first stay at a B&B. What a terrific experience! Il Sole is located in the heart of Tuscany, nestled away but very close to the Cortona village center.

Paula and Jim, the lovely American couple who are running the B & B are just terrific. From the second we walked through the... More

There are not enough words to compliment this B & B. There are many choices for accommodations at the Il Sole del Sodo B&B from apartments to double rooms. The motif is so unique in each unit. We only stayed for three nights, but I could see using it as a base and making day trips out to the surrounding... More

The highlight of our Italian vacationing is staying at Il Sole del Sodo and being cared for by Jim and Paula. They are San Diegan expats that guided us like family. They are incredibly knowledgeable on the things that Gringos like to do. They spent inordinate time with us explaining all the things to do and people to meet. They... More

We spent 6 nights surrounding the Easter holiday at II Sole del Sodo, and it was fantastic. Claudia has done a wonderful job at making sure this B&B is very cute, comfortable, and relaxing. A Special Thanks to her staff (Jim & Paula) who were not only hospitable and friendly, but were also very helpful in looking at the maps... More
