Arrive early enough so that you won't miss their "aperitivo" and "dopo cena". We even had a bread receipe from their pastry chef. Make this hotel a destination of your trip in Tuscany

This is one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. The place is so beautiful, the location and…read moreview is literally breathtaking (and that's not hyperbole), the attention to detail is minute, the room is comfortable, spotless and charming, the breakfasts are the best I've ever had in any hotel, and to top it all off, everyone who works here is incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. They go far out of their way to do everything they can to improve your stay in one of the world's most idyllic towns.

This site is the former hunting lodge of a Cardinal with ties to the Medici family. This beautiful…read moreproperty is now a hotel (Small Luxury Hotels of America) with a lovely restaurant that sits on the Umbria side near Cortona in Tuscany. The property is stunning, and "Insta worthy". We only had dinner here for a special occasion. Great service, was able to eat outdoors under covered awning. If not staying at the property, reservations are recommended. They have a few themed tasting menus 3 or 5 course with optional wine pairings as well as ala carte. If doing 5 course tasting menu everyone at table must order from same page. The duck and crispy pig were my favorite dishes. Take some time to enjoy the sunset, walk the hidden vegetable garden, take a peek inside, it's beautiful.

Don't let the beautiful pictures from the website draw you to this sub par hotel and restaurant…read more Nothing special here. Definitely not worth the price for accommodations or their well acclaimed restaurant. Very common and not sufficient for even 2-3 stars. 1200.00 per night rooms are not appointed well. "Sweeping Views" non existent from the cave feeling ill appointed rooms with low doorways and a hallway bench as a sofa in the room. Grounds are small and pool area with unheated pool disappointing. Service level is extremely low, no outdoor service, drinks, etc. Dined at their acclaimed restaurant was anything but special... could eat better food anywhere in the vicinity. Odd menu, tough florentine steak, barely any vegetables and they basically asked us to leave because it was late. Hotel called our room because our two guests who dined with us apparently were not allowed to visit us in our room. I asked for a different room after we checked in, couldn't accommodate. Unfortunately we prebooked three nights and have 2 more nights that cannot be cancelled. Would stay away from this hotel and restaurant - many many many better places nearby and much better staff, service, and accommodations.

We stayed at several hotels all over Italy on this trip and none of them came close to the La Corte…read moreDi Ambra style, comfort, or cleanliness. We found this b&b while searching for Tuscan villas to stay in for a night and we wished we had booked there longer. Sara and her family (the owners) are the absolute most wonderful, helpful people ever in a country full of people in the service industry who leave a lot to be desired in their service. The town of Cortona is an absolute MUST visit that many people don't know about. I tell you this as a visitor having traveled all over Itlaly, from Rome to Naples, from Capri to Venice, from Milan to the Lakes to Portofino and Pisa to Florence, all more than once. This was the BEST OF ITALY!!! Even saw a Hollywood Star. Beautiful town, church, and people.

It's a very peculiar place. It's situated in an old monastery, halfway to the top of the hill. The…read moreview from the grand terrace is outstanding and makes you want to wake up in the middle of the night and have a smoke there. The building itself is very interesting and has a specific spanish-horror-movies-about-abortion-and-drowned-babies vibe to it. Unfortunately, the conditions within the 'Casa' leave a lot to be desired. There are no bathrooms in the rooms, the wifi runs slowly and the breakfast is a big-no-no (located in the middle of Tuscany they serve packaged german cheese...). The parking is included into the price, but it's worth stating that guests with older/bigger/weaker cars will have problems getting to it due to the very steep driveway. All in all, I rate it 3 - it's a place you'll remember, but rather not a place you'd like to come back to.

Their restaurant may be my favorite restaurant on the planet. Tuscan cuisine served with true…read moreItalian hospitality. The maitre-d', Giuseppe (one of the owners), gives you the wonderful old-world restaurant experience. Pricey, but well worth it.
