Cortona Parterre Garden Hotels

"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!"

"Everything was perfect! Would like to give this Property a 6 Star rating. The staff made you feel like royalty!!"

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

"great view, very clean, friendly staff"

"Needs lotion in the guest rooms and towels. The staff was wonderful. So was the food. "

"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. "

"We absolutely loved our stay at Belvedere House and Cortona. The house was beautiful and the view second to none! We had everything we needed there for our stay. The beds were comfortable and there were nice linens, pillows and towels. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. When we arrived there were beautiful food treats for us and Irene had sent a list of great restaurants and things to do. We felt very at home and will be back soon!"

"The photos for this property does not do it justice. The view from the terrace and the pool is just beyond amazing. Everything is nicely layout. It is an older property but everything felt authentic to the age of the house and the town. The bed where really comfortable, the pool was wonderful as was the garden. Luca, our host, was lovely and even help us out when we could not find milk in the town center. The walk up the hill is not for the faint of heart but if you zig zag up the hill you discover how amazing Cortona is. "
