Staying at the castle was a highlight of our trip, a break from the average tourist sites and a magical experience I would recommend. The hosts were exceptionally and willing to go out of their way to ensure comfort and satisfaction. English spoken. The room was the normal small size for italy, but clean, with an amazing view and the... More

My wife and I stayed for one night during a recent Tuscan tour and our night at the Hotel Fortezza was one of the highlights of the trip. The room was amazing, giving you a real feel of staying in a old castle but still being clean and with modern bathroom facilities. The owner was very welcoming and helpful and... More

An experience not too be missed staying in a castle dated back to the 1,100 AD. The hotel inside is presented very well. We were situated on the 2nd level. Even though our room was compact it had a good size firm bed with separate bathroom facilities, on a landing above our bedroom. Not much space to put your suitcases... More

Beautiful views from the room, our room was very clean and nice. The village of Sorano is unspoiled and you will find only a few tourists here, and NO souvenir shops! We did find 2 antique shops, and several nice restaurants. The hotel manager was warm and friendly and made us feel at home. Breakfast was served on the fortress... More

Though it is possible (indeed almost mandatory) to access this hotel by car, it is required that the car be parked a long, long distance away from the hotel building. Within, there are numerous flights of stairs to navigate. All in all, not a property for the mobility-restricted or for those carrying a lot of luggage. Probably best for those... More

Me and my boyfriend just returned from Italy, where (among other places) we stayed at the Hotel della Fortezza and what a wonderful experience!! We were greeted by the owner who was the perfect host, and before offering us a glass of wine or beer he showed us our room which had been newly renovated. It turned out to be... More

This hotel fulfilled all the dreams of staying in a castle - the views were spectacular; the room very comfortable; the bathroom almost as big as the bedroom and plenty of good pressure hot water for the top of a fortress at the top of the town. We arrived after walking from Pitigliano - well worth the effort - and... More
