Waking up to the stunning Tuscan landscape every day was truly magical. The hotel offers lovely views and a beautiful garden, though it definitely gives off an economy vibe. The service exceeded our expectations, making our anniversary celebration unforgettable, but the dining experience could use more variety in breakfast options.

The hotel offers a base in a picturesque area with adequate rooms and a stunning terrace view of the surrounding valley. The service was attentive, continuously replenishing supplies, but missing details like bus schedules. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the heart of Cortona. The dining experience varied, from a beautiful spread to occasional missing items. Overall, a charming spot with notable ups and downs.

The hotel offers a mixed experience with rooms that could be a bit bigger and lack a pleasant view, but the service goes above and beyond, making our stay for our 25th-year anniversary truly magical. The location is stunning, right at the entrance of the city walls with spectacular views. The dining experience was average, and the facilities are available but not exceptional.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although with a view of the countryside, were in desperate need of updating but offered a choice between a casual terrace lunch or an elegant dinner for two. The service was good overall, but there were issues with lack of information regarding Sunday bus schedules. The location was convenient, close to the city center but lacked the expected four-star charm. The dining experience was somewhat hit or miss, with a decent but not exceptional breakfast and lovely views.

The hotel is perfectly located at the entrance of the historic center, making it easy to explore the town. The rooms, though not soundproof, are somewhat spacious and worth asking for an upgrade for better views. The service, especially accommodating for last-minute check-ins, is genuinely helpful. The dining options, while not extensive, offer a decent selection for a satisfying meal. The overall value for money is favorable considering the great location and friendly staff.

I found this hotel to be a gem for my stay in Cortona. The rooms, while compact, were clean and had a modern bathroom, making it a cozy and comfortable stay. The location on the edge of the city was ideal, offering breathtaking views from the entrance of the historic center. While the dining experience was a delight with beautiful views, the breakfast options were limited. Overall, a great value for the money with excellent facilities.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms offered a gorgeous view of the Tuscan hillside from the small balcony, but the lack of seating made it inconvenient. While I had requested two single beds, I ended up with one double bed for me and my cousin. The room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable, but I recommend paying extra for a better view from the balcony.
