Cortona Hotel Guide - Fortress of Girifalco hotels in Cortona, Italy.

"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!"

"great view, very clean, friendly staff"

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

"Best sleep I’ve had in a long time. Very quiet area. Beautiful views. Absolutely gorgeous. Water and coffee were provided. Clean. Bruno was very patient with us with the language barrier. We also had trouble getting to the place because we were not getting service on our phone till we connected to WiFi. Bruno met us and showed us where to park after showing us the way to the apartment. Very steep climb up to the apartment from the parking area, but Cortona is overall steep. You will climb up and down several times a day to get to the piazza, exploring and eating meals. It’s just the way it is. Kitchen was fully equipped. Heating worked great. No complaints. "

"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. "
