Not to be missed!

We were initially uncertain about booking here due to some negative online comments; however, very happy we did! it would be difficult to pristinely maintain the property as it is historic and quite large, so if you’re looking for something with every modern amenity, this is not the stay for you. However, the property is a gorgeous setting and the buildings are quaint and charming. Our room was very spacious - a bit of noise transfer through the bathroom. Pool area is beautiful! Great breakfast with tons of selection. Friendly and helpful staff. Good location to easily access Cortona.

Hotel was ideal for a relaxed stay when visiting for a friends wedding. The pool area was lovely and the hotel very pretty. Main area for feedback was that the air con was not the most powerful so room was warm but not uncomfortable.

Good price and room comfortable but could have been cleaner. Blanket on bed covered in pet hair We were led to believe Cortona was walkable, it definitely was not. Reception staff poor welcome and uninterested. Disappointing restaurant was closed, so had to travel each evening for dinner. Television did not work.

We’ve stayed there before, but had a car. This time, it said they had rental cars and could assist with taxis. Not true at all! Most of our group had to walk from the train station with luggage and then we walked back into town after we were told there were no rentals or taxis that day or the next. We got lucky at a fiat dealer and we’re able to rent a car. Also, the air conditioning was not reliable in two of the rooms and my son was told it was June and he could open a window (no screens). I always confirm there is air conditioning before booking hotels. I’m not sure if they have new management, but I was disappointed

It was empty. They acted like they had no room for us but we were the only ones there. I felt unsafe and unwelcome. We left before we even got there because we could not get around the area and they did not help us try and get a taxi.

Definitely recommend a car for visiting the surrounding area and reaching the hotel. The restaurant food was good, although a little pricey for what was served. Pool was wonderful. My comfort double room was very clean, comfortable bed, and very large and clean bathroom. The property was lovely and has many fruit trees! The breakfast was quite good with excellent coffee!

A Nightmare - Decadent and low level

team from the beginning did not pay the slightest attention to us, being strangely grumpy and unprepared. Breakfast awful…waitress complaining and going out to smoke all the time… one star is better… room was smelling very bad. we called to the reception asking for the manager, who never came to our room…. sorry, 4 stars????? until now i’m waiting for an apology. level 0.
