“My family and I came here and got a couple rooms. The location is great the service is great but the beds suck so bad. The pool was great too with nice lounges to relax on. The breakfast in the morning was okay but it's open from 7:30 to 10:00 and when I got there at 9:00 a.m. all the eggs and bacon were already gone every single day. All of the people at the front counter were excellent and helped us schedule taxes and find our way around. A few minutes from this location is a great cooking tour from a local family.”
“Amazing staff that was so helpful when our flight was diverted to another airport due to thunderstorms. We arrive in the middle of the night and they were waiting for us and that was incredibly service minded. The beds are a bit hard, as with all hotel beds in Italy it seems. Beautiful pool area and overall a pleasant place. Can highly recommend!”
“Romantic hotel located just outside of the centre of Cortona. Staff was really friendly and the service was optimal. Only issue was that the room was dusty and a bit dirty. The atmosphere, the pool and the views are something me and my girlfriend will for sure be coming back for.”
“I stayed here in April, but the review request expired, so I will leave it here. This property is beautiful, probably moreso in the summer in full bloom. I had a nice walk around the premises in the fresh air of nature. The staff is polite. Even they helped figure out a way for me to get a taxi to bus station without cash (only I had card). The room is spacious and clean. The bed was large and comfy. Location is the drawback because it's most feasible with a car. Getting to Cortona from there, there are busses and they go when they want. There is also a barking dog at the bus stop. I happen to be afraid of barking dogs that I don't know The food at happy hour is good and filling. Breakfast buffet was pretty basic though.”
