Una joya en la Toscana

Llegar al hotel de la Fortezza es como entrar a un cuento. No solo por el paisaje de los alrededores sino por cada detalle en el cuidado de cada cosa. El servicio de las chicas que atienden en la recepción es impecable, el servicio de desayuno es extraordinario y la comodidad de las habitaciones también es destacable. Sin lugar a dudas lo recomendamos y volveremos con el resto de nuestra familia para que ellos también vivan esta experiencia única e inolvidable en uno de los pocos lugares históricos del mundo que aún quedan habitables. No se lo pierdan!!

I was truly amazed by my stay at this magnificent and unique hotel near Pitigliano. The rooms, the service, and the place itself are outstanding—by far one of the best places I stayed at during my visit to the Tuscany region. The owner’s attention and hospitality are top-notch, a solid 10 out of 10. Highly recommended!

An absolute surprise, a gem in the middle of nowhere it seemed, but in reality, close to many different towns, and things to do. I don't normally rate 5 stars, but from the excellent meet to leaving, the entire staff was perfect. A five star meal, cupped with 5 star service, can not praise this place enough. A must while in Sorrano. Thank you all for my stay.

We stayed one night and were enchanted with the fortress turned hotel in the heart of Sorano. Our room had amazing views of the surrounding town, the breakfast had fantastic coffee and a wide assortment of meats, cheeses, breads, and pastries. The owners tour of the underground wine cellars and wine making process capped off with a tasting was informative and delicious.

Staying in a 12th century fortress is an experience that simply can't be missed. The room, staff and breakfast exceeded our expectations. The local walk about the small town is also fabulouse.

The apartment was beautiful and a perfect location for seeing the Bienniale. Around the corner is a wonderful restaurant. The agent who helped us was responsive and kind. My only suggestion would be to update the guests’ guide and directions for finding the apartment. Otherwise it was a lovely stay.

This place was interesting. I only stayed a night like cool a castle looking place, but when I arrived, I realized it was an entire experience. I would definitely go back just to explore all this place has to offer. I went during the rain, so I did find some beetles creeping in when I opened the window to see the view. So be aware if bugs spook you! Also, if you stay in room 3, the WiFi didn’t really reach to the bed. I had to leave my phone near the door in case someone had to call me. Which was fine. Breakfast was okay. But def would come back to explore.

Why not stay in a castle when you have the chance?

We really liked our stay at the Fortezza. It is not luxurious, but it more than makes up for it with bucketloads of character. It is a great place from which to survey Sorano from above and to descend into its charming labyrinths. The associated restaurant in town was also really good.

We had a wonderful experience with our stay. Breakfast was definitely worthwhile, and we enjoyed the family friendly atmosphere of the stay. I loved staying in a castle too and having incredible views. While the bedroom was nothing flash, the bathroom was modern and renovated which is what you want! We also really enjoyed the fortress tour as well, we learnt a lot about how the fortress protected itself with tricks and traps.

Once in a lifetime experience to stay in an ancient fortress with views of a charming medieval village. Beds are comfy. Bathrooms clean and spacious. Staff is friendly and helpful. There is much to see nearby, including Pitigliano, Sovana and the thermal springs at Saturnia. Wished I had booked more days. Hotel della Fortezza is above the town, a short walk to eateries and other sights, so it is quiet at night, except for church bells. We thought the room, the view, the breakfast, and the convenient public parking made our visit to the area more special, which is something to say when you are touring Italy's best kept secret.
