“Loved our stay here...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

I had originally wanted to stay at Villa Marsilli where I'd happily stayed before, but it was booked out. So, deciding to give Hotel Italia a try because it was well positioned just around the corner from the main piazza, I chose a superior room with a view. Great decision. The room was gorgeous - large, clean, a view over roof tops like a postcard, classy Tuscan styling, spotless, large bathroom. I was delighted with the place as it's better positioned than the popular Villa Marsilli, but cheaper because it isn't as many stars, but you wouldn't know the difference in the superior room. It was serene, but so close go everything. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was okay - not a huge spread, and sad fruit salad, but this didn't bother us as it left more room for us to treat ourselves with delicacies from town. The restaurant right next to the hotel is great - try the ravioli.
We will definitely be staying here again.

“Great place with perfect location in Cortona”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

We stayed here for one night and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The service was very warm and friendly and the room was spotlessly clean with a bathroom the same size as the bedroom which was fabulous. The best shower we had on our two week trip to Italy. Very quiet at night but close to the main area in the town.

“It should be improved”

This hotel is in a old buiding in the centre of Cortona but not far from a huge and free parking lot out of the town walls. Although the hotel looks fine and the breakfast room has a very impressive view on the landscape, there were some problems that affect my review: 1) the towels in the bathroom were old and grey, they didn't even look clean; 2) internet is free for one device, but the wifi connection was so slow that browsing the web was almost impossible (it took several minutes only to display google startpage!); 3) the hand held shower was completely broken: when I reported it to the reception I was told that it would have been immediately fixed. After two days I checked out and nobody ever came to my room to fix it!

“Nice! We would go back.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

Nice hotel, polite service in the middle of Cortona! Spacy rooms, very good beds. Old, characterfull building but modern furniture and comfort.
Right at the Piazza della Republica. Our room was a bit dark, but it was just for one night.
We would go again, even for a few more nights.
Breakfast room is located at the 4 floor with an amazing view over Cortona!

Room Tip: ask for a light room!

“Good, clean and well-located”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2011

The room was small and a bit spartan. But, the staff was very helpful, it was perfectly clean and the location and price were ideal.
