Cortona Suite B&B — Hotel in Cortona

I booked this place because it's centrally located to everything. The reservation and booking process was quick and the guy running the reservations was very responsive. Booking the place all happened via email, but all further communications were through WhatsApp.||||In WhatsApp, he provided very specific instructions about how to get to the bed and breakfast and where to park. There were also instructions on how to enter. After some back and forth messaging, the guy physically came and helped me gain access into the bed and breakfast.||||Upon entering, the huge double doors from the ground level, you enter into this very large voided dark cold space. There is no lift, so you will have to climb about 7 flights of stairs with your luggage to get to your room. Then it's a maze to get to the actual room. ||||The room is much smaller than photographed and things were falling apart such as the toilet paper roll holder and the poll inside the closet to hang your items. The most alarming thing about the room is that it FREEZING. Literally, FREEZING. I believe outside temperatures were about 6C and inside our room was about 3C!!! It was colder in the room then outside. So, even though they advertise that there is heat...there really isn't heat and you will be left COLD and likely unable to be warm enough to fall asleep!||||Pros: It's in the city center and walkable to everything in the center. The free breakfast was the best part of the stay||||Cons: It's FREEZING in the fall and winter months. The shower water doesn't get hot enough. I felt like I was camping. I was uncomfortable the whole time.||||I would not recommend this place based on the amount of stairs you have to climb, the incredibly cold room, and the shower water not...

I wish we could give this hotel more stars. We had such a wonderful time in it. ||The hotel has four suites. We were given one that had windows facing the square. The room was very spacious, with a couch and table in addition to the bed. We were so comfortable in the room that we spent most of our time relaxing in it when we weren't exploring the town. ||We stayed for 4 nights over new years while on our honeymoon. There was a christmas market in the square below us so we could enjoy the festivities without having to be in the cold all the time. We were a block away from the main square in town where they had the main new years celebration. ||The location is great. Right in the heart of Cortona. It was easy to get to everything we wanted to see without having the walk too far uphill. ||The breakfast was outstanding. It's delivered to your door at a time you pick. It's a large spread of everything you could think of. In addition to this we recieved coffee upon arrival, daily cookies in the room, and complimentary champagne and chocolate for new years.||Our suite also is equipped with a sauna, which we thoroughly enjoyed. It worked very well and you have a lot of control over the settings and it was good to use. ||We cannot rate this hotel high enough. It felt like we had our own apartment in the heart of cortona, with all the added conveniences of being at a hotel. We will absolutely be staying here again if we come...

We arrived late and were kindly left a number to telephone. Alessandra arrived quickly to let us in and show us our room. It was absolutely beautiful. Fresco’s pained on the beautiful beamed ceilings. Marvellous terracotta stone tiles on the floor and a well appointed bathroom. Modern and clean. We had the best views over the central square. Every morning Alessandre would bring in a trolley of delights. Scrambled egg. Sausages, cheeses, croissants,cakes and sandwiches. As well as fresh coffee and tea. There is also a mini bar fridge, with payable snacks, useful to store wine. There is a tv but you won’t use it. Far to much to do and see. Bed is very comfortable. ||||Cortona is a very steep hill town. From the car parks you can access the town by using escalators, however be warned after 8, they are turned off, and to lug a suitcase up to the town is very hard. Best to drop the case off and park later if arriving late. Some fabulous places to eat in cortona. Most supprisingly reasonable. I have to say this is the best centrally placed apartment and town to visit. I would...
