Our first disappointment was the musty/chemical smell in the hallway leading to room. Once in the room, the plastic furniture reminded me of a Walmart special. The windows had thick burgundy duck cloth on them hiding a view of construction materials and laundry hanging outside. The room was clean, but very dark and dreary. The shower was so small I... More

We stayed in this hotel during the second week of july 2011. The rooms were very clean and the service in the hotel as well of the restaurant was really very good. There is a nice swimming pool and garden. We enjoyed our holidays there very much.

We stayed 4 nights in June. Enjoyed the friendly service, great food (breakfast-buffet and dinner), nice swimmingpool in garden, large/clean room (Smeraldo) with separate livingroom. Need a car to visit the lovely cities of Cortona, Perugia, Siena, Pienza and Montepulciano.

I cannot compliment the staff enough,... More

If you go to Cortona, you must book this... More
