It’s a friendly, clean and perfect place to stay, especially with its decore which adds to the whole ambience of Cortona
Pros:

The location is fantastic. We loved the buffet breakfast each morning in the charming dining room. The staff were so helpful, courteous and friendly. Our room had a great view of the bell tower and out further across the valley. It had a large great room were you sit with friends in the evening for a chat which was a bonus. All round it’s a really great choice for a hotel in Cortona which you won’t regret.

Cons:

Nothing

We would happily use the hotel again; it is right in the middle of town! AND parking can be impossib
Pros:

The staff were truly excellent and very pleasant to work with. One of 5 wa a little serious and didnt seem as with it as all the others. The room itself was great. We took advantage of their local parking; expensive but really very convenient. They made up an excellent list of local restaurants and mad bookings for us twice.

Cons:

Nothing really

Insomma
Pros:

La colazione

Cons:

Capisco che l'edificio sia vecchio, dato che si trova nel centro della città, ma anche la camera era estremamente datata. Il bagno, la doccia e le altre strutture sembravano non essere stati rinnovati da molti anni.

Il letto era in condizioni pessime: le molle erano praticamente tutte rovinate e il materasso era deformato e molto scomodo. Mi sono svegliato con il mal di schiena e non sono riuscito a dormire bene durante il soggiorno.

Inoltre, l'isolamento acustico era quasi inesistente: si sentivano chiaramente i rumori provenienti dalle stanze vicine, rendendo difficile riposare.

Anche il servizio alla reception è stato deludente. Durante il check-in, l'addetto ha interrotto la procedura per rispondere a una telefonata e ci ha lasciati ad aspettare per parecchio tempo senza alcuna spiegazione o scusa. Ho trovato questo comportamento poco professionale e poco rispettoso nei confronti degli ospiti.

L'unica nota positiva è stata la colazione, che era buona e ben assortita.

Nel complesso, è stata una delle peggiori esperienze che abbia avuto in una struttura ricettiva e non la consiglierei.

Great location and staff. Beautiful old building.
Pros:

Great location next to the main square. Although it was a bit of a hike up a steep road from the public parking outside the town walls.

The staff were fantastic.

Cons:

The shower cubicle was quite small and restrictive. For a 4 star hotel the toiletries could have been better. Similarly they should provide a good coffee machine rather than packet coffee and a kettle with paper cups!

Door key card entry was a challenge at times.

Central location, beautiful 500 year old building, helpful staff, good breakfast, valet parking.
Pros:

Location is fabulous, just off Cortona’s main square. Staff very friendly, and eager to help.

Cons:

Location great and very central, but the main square can be surprisingly lively in the evenings so if you’re noise sensitive, you may want to request a rear facing room.
