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.

Helpful staff.

Easy to communicate with. Staff that was really easygoing and helpful. Clean and with a huge bathroom. We stayed a couple of hour by the pool after checking out, which was a good relief for us that arrived late the day before. Big pool and a quiet area. Overall a top place for us that was driving a cross Italy.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff made our stay extraordinary, helping with a pickup by FedEx and stayed late to let us check in when our flight was diverted to Pisa and we arrived after midnight. The other hotel guests, a couple of German ladies, were not that nice and complained when the night manager helped us with our luggage up all the stairs. A bit disappointed that the restaurant is closed, we hoped to enjoy a meal there but there is no lunch or dinner available. But the pool area is lovely and we loved staying at this place.

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.

Beautiful property. Nice staff. All facilities you need in the room. The best part was the Beautiful pool area with nice atmostphere and a pool bar with nice food. The breakfast was not good, but that is the only negative thing about this place

2/10 Poor

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.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

Disappointed

I depends on what you want, but for us it was a disappointment. Spider web all over the ceiling. Trashed covers on the bed. The breakfast had no options, you basically had to eat sweet croissants. The juice was from grocery store. And the pool was closed, which was one of the main reasons we chose the place in the first place.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

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

Außen hui, innen pfui

Sehr schönes Anwesen, aber leider nur von außen. Unser Zimmer war total alt und abgewohnt und hatte nichts mit den auf der Internetseite gezeigten Bildern zu tun. Wir hatten das Deluxe Zimmer gebucht, welches jedoch weder von der Größe noch von der Einrichtung den Bildern entsprochen hat. Im Bad war Schimmel an der Wand. Die Dame an der Rezeption zuckte nur mit den Schultern, dazu könne sie nichts sagen. Zum Glück hatten wir nur eine Nacht auf der Durchreise gebucht. Das Frühstück war okay, typisch italienisch mit viel Süßkram und wenig gesunden frischen Sachen (es gab immerhin frisches Obst). Dafür gab es frisch gebrühten italienischen Kaffee. Das Servicepersonal beim Frühstück war sehr nett. Den Pool können wir nicht beurteilen, da dieser geschlossen war.

8/10 Very good

Charmant petit établissement! Je recommande pour sa tranquillité et sa proximité avec la magnifique petite ville de Cortone. Les points positifs; 1- Joli domaine: architecture de pierre, fleurs, boiserie, etc. 2- Son emplacement : à seulement 5 minutes en voiture de Cortone et à quelques minutes d'épicerie et de restaurants. 3- Tranquillité : wow! Aucun son, quelle tranquillité ! Comme les chambres sont réparties dans plusieurs bâtiments, les soirées et les nuits sont calmes. 4- Les chambres; Chambres qui sont plus spacieuses que ce à quoi je m'y attendais. Salle de bain un peu petite comparativement par contre. 5- Personnel sympathique. 6- Le déjeuner était bien: fruits, croissants, petits gâteaux, yogourt, oeufs et viandes froides. Les points "négatifs": 1- Propreté de la chambre n'était pas parfaite et l'air conditionné ne fonctionnait pas. Merci! Je recommande!
