Cortona Santa Maria Nuova Hotels

"Everything was great! Lovely hotel "

"The hotel is conveniently located just a short distance downhill from Piazza Garibaldi (the entry to the main pedestrian zone of Cortona). However, parking is on-street nearby and arriving on a fine Saturday afternoon, it was challenging to find a space. I had to park in a paid space located a distance away for check-in, and only managed to find a free spot later when the day tourists had left. Parking issues aside, the hotel itself is lovely and cosy, and all the staff I met, from reception to restaurant, were genuinely warm and attentive. The breakfast was a standout – instead of the usual dry scrambled eggs and limp bacon, there was asparagus wrapped in bacon, baked eggplant topped with diced tomato, baked stuffed tomatoes, fried eggs with avocado slides, and many more visually appealing dishes I did not have space in my stomach to sample. I have never had such a unique and delicious hotel breakfast anywhere. The hotel also offered some small bites for happy hour in the evening, but these were not as good as breakfast and were quickly gone without being replenished. I got a very good deal on Expedia, visiting in the off-season in late November. If the price is right, I would definitely stay at Hotel Villa Marsili again if I return to Cortona or its vicinity. Highly recommended hotel!"

"The hotel amenities, comfort, hospitality are top notch. Should easily be a 4-star hotel! "

"The room was large and very clean. Breakfast was very good. Will stay there if I return to Cortona"

"Casa Bacco is a comfortable, quiet, well furnished, spacious and well situated house that has been modernized and updated to high standards. What I especially enjoyed was being in the middle of a real neighborhood, hearing the neighbors chat, the children play, listening to the church bells ringing, and seeing the amazing sunsets over the Valley from the windows of the house. My best advice would be not to have a car because parking around Cortona is nearly impossible. I had to park my car a great distance away (which was fine, to a point, because once you're in Cortona you don't need to leave, and I was taking a two week language course at Polymnia). My stay was heavenly, and the people who manage the property were kind, attentive and always ready to provide assistance. The Church of San Francesco is a three minute walk from the house, and the nearest gelateria is only a six minute walk. A person doesn't need much more than that!"

"great view, very clean, friendly staff"

"Very clean and beautiful room. Amazing views! Breakfast and staff were the best!"

"Clean, quiet, somewhat basic. Excellent location a short hike uphill from the busy central piazzas. A challenge to drive to through exceedingly narrow, steep streets, but we parked directly in front of the B&B (lucky!). Beatrice very helpful. Wi-Fi can be unreliable. Continental breakfast was unremarkable. A good spot, though. "

"Luca was an outstanding host! He was truly warm and welcoming and made us feel at home. The views are stunning and change minute by minute as you soon realize you are in the sky amongst the clouds. "
