Cortona Hotel Guide - Santa Maria delle Grazie 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!"

"The hotel amenities, comfort, hospitality are top notch. Should easily be a 4-star hotel! "

"The Village of Cortona was wonderful. The people, the restaurants, the charming warm and welcoming days and evenings visiting the piazzas. The Travel with Tuscany Team, our driver and tours were great.Casa delle Rosa certainly was well managed, charming place and beautiful views from balcony. There definitely are a lot of stairs to get to that balcony but well worth the climb. We hope to return to Cortona."

"great view, very clean, friendly staff"

"Wonderful hosts who go out of their way to make their guests comfortable. Because traveling around the area by foot is a little difficult for older people, they kindly took us to the grocery store our first and then the train station the day we checked out. Our biggest issue was walking into the wonderful village of Cortona. The walk up from the property to the highway isn't too bad -- a bit steep but we navigated that fine. But when you reach the highway, there is no walkway or safe way to walk the stretch to town while cars and busses whiz by. Because of this, we only went into the village once and never went back for dinner because of the difficulty walking without a safe pathway and felt it would be especially dangerous at night.As an aside: the hosts offered to take us where we needed to go, but we didn't want to take advantage of their generosity. For people with cars, this would be an ideal rental with its lovely overlook of the valley below, the fabulous village with its many cafes and unique shops, as well as the charming hosts. "
