The location of the hotel was wonderful. I want to mention that there was a young receptionist who was extremely helpful and spoke excellent English. She was very friendly and informative. We drove to Cortona and the staff was very helpful in parking our car. The breakfast was free but a little boring. We have stayed at this hotel last year and enjoyed it so much we returned again this year.

Nice hotel with a wonderful view of the Tuscany valley from our room. We had some trouble finding it initially with our rental car, as it was very difficult navigating the narrow, one-way roads into this medieval, century's old city and then trying to locate the hotel. But once we did, it was a very lovely hotel.

Dear Ms. Kathleen B,

Thank you for your stunning review, unfortunately we know that for Cortona and its narrow streets it is a little bit difficult to drive however we are able to provide to all our guests a shuttle service and we also have a private garage next to the hotel which we think it is important to let you have a comfortable stay!
We look forward to seeing you soon again at the Hotel San Michele in Cortona!

Yours sincerely,

Dott. Nicolò Alunno
General Manager

We had been to Cortona for a family wedding 15years ago and loved it. We chose this hotel because it was located in the old part of the town. Staff were lovely and greeted us as we arrived at the hotel to carry our bags and park our car. Rooms were generous in size and tastefully decorated. Drinks in the courtyard were accompanied by beautiful meats, cheeses olives etc. All in all a stunning hotel in a wonderful location which we will stay in again

First, this 13C Palazzo has been refurnished with modern rooms and facilities. There is nothing medieval about the San Michele rooms.

We knew we had made a great choice from the moment we walked in. The gentleman at the front desk was eager to take care of us and spent a lot of time telling us about the hotel, the city, getting around. In fact everyone we dealt with at the desk was interested in us and our satisfaction. IF management reads this, you have a great staff to be proud of.

We had reserved a parking space and were able to drive right up Via Guelfa to the front entry and after offloading our luggage it turned out our garage spot was right there, just next door to the hotel, in an enclosed garage that housed just two cars, with easy access out of the city.

The hotel had numerous rooms to relax in and an outside terrace within the hotels walls where we could eat breakfast if we didn't want to eat in the very large breakfast room. It was obviously of a design that reminded one that this was once a Palazzo. Breakfast was excellent, good selection of foods and great scrambled eggs, bacon, etc.

The interior of the hotel was welcoming, roomy and provided the ambiance expected of the town and old hotel.

Our room had good views out the windows over the countryside, and a moderate sized bathroom. Storage was good, Wi-Fi was good. We didn't use the elevator except on arrival and departure for luggage movement.

The hotel is just 50 feet or so from the main piazza, Piazza della Repubblica. From there anyplace is a short walk anywhere. Just remember that it is a hill town. Other than Piazza Repubblica and Via Nazionale which starts there and ends a few hundred meters away, there are npo other flat streets in the city. Everything thing you want to visit, and every street you take to do so, is uphill or downhill. Cortona retains its medieval look and we had selected the weekend of May 10th to see the events of the annual Archidado celebration and reenactments.

The city and the hotel are well worth a return trip.

Dear TravelerMikePlano,
We really thank you for your amazing review. Thanks for your comments about our historical building, its rooms, beautiful terraces, its design and style, for our services (private garage for example), our selection for breakfast buffet and our central position, closed to the main points of interest in Cortona.
We were working to make your stay in Cortona unique and we will be very happy to welcome you again in our hotel, why not with a typical Tuscan aperitif in our new Bar Dell’Accademia or with a breath-taking view from our new “La Torretta” relax area. We thank you once more and we hope to have you as our guests very soon.
Sincerely,

Dott. Nicolò Alunno
General Manager

Cortona was our 4th city during our 10 day trip to Italy. Our tour guides pics different kinds of accommodations, but this one, by far, was the best. As soon as we arrived and were greeted by the staff we knew were we in for a lavish 2 night stay. The gentleman behind the desk was sincerely interested in taking care of our 10 person group, and I could tell this operation was running like a well oiled machine. We showed up early, but they checked us in and by the time we arrived back from a bite to eat, our rooms were ready. Our room was dreamy with its quaint sitting area, to the oversize bathroom. It was clean, well stocked, and we had our best night's sleep there. The common areas were also convenient as we would sit together and rest from all the walking we were doing. We felt right at home. It was sad to leave the city and this grand hotel. Many thanks to all the staff for treating us like kings and queens.

Room tip: Room 105 has a sitting area, but not all rooms do.
