Independent - accommodation in Cortona

We were both delighted and terrified about staying at this hotel! It was a great hotel in all aspects a traveler wanted. The room was great.The staff was great. The hotel itself was very interesting with some large common rooms which were perfect settings for your camera. The hotel was a couple steps from the main charming square where they shot the movie Under The Tuscan Sun. So it was in a perfect location, right? Not so fast! The perfect location was also on top of a very steep hill, and the road was a very narrow coble-stone road. I guess it was nothing if you were the local. But for a bad American driver like myself, it was terrifying. My tiny underpowered rental car bearly squeezed through the road, and I was lucky not to run over anyone because the road was so steep all I could see was the blue sky above, not the road below. It was some experience! But, we got through the fear and had a wonderful time at this hotel

Great location

It’s a gem
