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

If you have the chance of driving through Tuscany from Sienna to Florence as we did, then do pop in for a couple of relaxing days at the Sole del Sodo. Claudia made us feel like long lost cousins and her dog made us feel at home. The house does give you a bed and breakfast feel, which many places... More

Had the most wonderful stay there, Claudia is an excellent hostess and the fact that she speaks English fluently helped a lot as our Italian language skills are virtually non existent! Lovely, stylish rooms and excellent breakfast.The location is great too, peaceful and quiet and just two km outside Cortona. Will stay there again anytime!

We had a wonderful experience with Claudia at Il Sole del Sodo! We spent three nights here. Claudia was so welcoming and helpful. Her cooking is fantastic! My husband and I agree, that her dinner was one of the best meals we had in Italy. We left Cortona via train for Venice. Claudia drove us to the train station because... More

We are a Canadian family of 5 with 3 girls ages 6, 8 and 10. This was the kids first trip to Europe and our first week of a month long journey. We wished we would have stayed longer! Claudia, our hostess, was the sweetest and most helpful. She made us feel so at home. We stayed in 2 interconnected... More

The hotel was charming...The room had a small kitchenette, skylight, fireplace, and exposed stone on the walls. All of that was very nice. The owner was very accommodating and called my cell to confirm my late arrival. This hotel is a 5 min drive from the center of Cortona. Don't attempt to walk up the steep Tuscan hills, you'll be...

My boyfriend and I spent one night in this ever so charming B&B. If we would have known it was so beautiful, we would have liked to stay a bit longer. It is such a pretty place... the decoration is lovely and it is so peaceful. Claudia was great too! Very hospitable and helpful. It's a little hidden treasure that... More

Recently returned from another visit to the lovely town of Cortona and another stay at Il Sole del Sodo. This time we stayed in Suite delle Colombe which is cosy with a very comfortable bed in loft area. The views from there across the valley are lovely. Il Sole del Sodo is a very relaxing and friendly place to stay... More
