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

"Our arrival experience was less than stellar for a warm welcome to property. Front desk associate was very cold and accusatory of the situation we encountered outside of the property. We have traveled extensively and I expected better arrival experience. It all changed for the better when we finally got to our amazing suite and befriending two amazing individuals in the hotel bar. The roof top suite was absolutely amazing! The room is quiet, private and much larger than described on the site. We absolutely loved the room and the privacy. The rooftop suite is the best in the house! Claudio in the bar and Salvatore the sommelier are stellar to guests, they turned around the entire experience! I let them know what had happened upon arrival and they immediately got the GM to reach out to us. Lara, the GM is amazing and quickly made our experience turn into something so special, as we wanted! She is an incredible woman and turned our stay into an incredible experience! The breakfast is nothing less than wonderful and the service in their restaurants are so attentive and the food was delicious. Hands down, I would love to go back again. They certainly made things right by making our romantic stay, exactly what I wanted. They made us feel heard and valued and welcomed at this once in a lifetime experience. We made friends that we will cherish and memories that we will never forget! Claudio, Lara and Salvatore really made our stay exactly what we needed and wanted! "

"The personnel were warm and accommodating. The breakfast was amazing! The views were wonderful!"

"Everything about this hotel was fabulous! Very helpful and friendly staff, beautiful spacious room with an amazing view, and the food!!! Breakfast, happy hour and night time cookie snacks - all just the best. Can’t recommend this hotel enough. Would definitely stay here again!"

"Casa Bacco is a comfortable, quiet, well furnished, spacious and well situated house that has been modernized and updated to high standards. What I especially enjoyed was being in the middle of a real neighborhood, hearing the neighbors chat, the children play, listening to the church bells ringing, and seeing the amazing sunsets over the Valley from the windows of the house. My best advice would be not to have a car because parking around Cortona is nearly impossible. I had to park my car a great distance away (which was fine, to a point, because once you're in Cortona you don't need to leave, and I was taking a two week language course at Polymnia). My stay was heavenly, and the people who manage the property were kind, attentive and always ready to provide assistance. The Church of San Francesco is a three minute walk from the house, and the nearest gelateria is only a six minute walk. A person doesn't need much more than that!"

"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. "

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice rooms"
