“Ideal location, stunning view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

Located right next to the walled city near the top of the hill, the location is perfect and the views spectacular. You actually enter the lobby at the top and go down to the rooms as it is situated right on the hillside. An absolutely stunning panoramic Tuscan view from the shuttered balcony. The room is typically small, but perfectly adequate and clean. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is included and served on a lovely terrace.
The hotel is a little outdated, but has lots of character and ambiance. Lots of beautiful old oriental rugs on the floor and artwork on the walls. Large common rooms. Free internet downstairs.
It was a wonderful find. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Room Tip: ask for a balcony

“Nice views, nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

We were here for one night as part of a cycling group. The hotel is perched on the edge of the hill overlooking the valley, and views from parts of the hotel are fantastic (including the breakfast room and the gym). It's located right next to one of the main streets, but not in a noisy area. Our room was facing inward and was a bit of a dungeon, not because the room wasn't nice (it was), but because the windows were small and near the ceiling. If you can, get a room on the valley side. I presume these have views, but I never checked. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'd stay again if I'm ever back in Cortona.

Room Tip: Ask for one with a view of the valley.

“Clean room, reasonable price, helpful staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

We stayed two nights and were very satisfied with this hotel. It was clean, convenient, reasonably priced, and offered a wonderful view. The breakfast was good as well, although the lady who handled it could have been more diligent.

“Bak as soon as we can! Paradise!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

What a magical place...the rooms were small be very adequate...the view from our balcony was out of a romance novel! Breathtaking view of the valley, flocks of really "cute" birds...the beautiful cathedral on the hill side...oh my...just perfect! The service was excellent...very attentive and friendly throughout. the breakfast room was sunny, bright, the same beautiful view and the food was wonderful! Our entire stay of 6 days was wonderful. Did take a little getting used to that the floor our room was o n was 4 and it was down!! Added to the flavor! Highly recommended!!

“Wonderful View. I hope I can go again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011

The view from our room of the valley below was awesome. There are small birds in Cortona---I think Swifts---that fly overhead constantly making a nice sound. Looking out our balcony at this view with the birds flitting about was wonderful. The rooms are small but fine. The location of the hotel is perfect---walking distance to the main street. We visited all the hill towns but Cortona was my favorite.
