The hotel told us they had free parking but neglected to tell us that is was several blocks away and that there was an incredibly steep incline to get to their hotel. When we arrived in our room, the water stopped working so we couldn't take a shower or wash up. We were also promised free Wi-Fi in our rooms... More

Dear Mr. Jeremy W., we are extremely sorry for what are writing on Tripadvisor as far as Hotel San Michele in Cortona is concerned. We are now going to answer, trying to explain all your complaints, as we never promise what is not possible, considering above all the fact that the hotel is located in a building dating back from...

We paid a higher rate for a "flexible" reservation which we made from an albergo where we were staying in Tuscany. To avoid confusion we had a bilingual Italian help us with the reservation. We were told there was a "full buffet" breakfast included, free wi-fi in the rooms, and free parking 200M from the hotel. When we arrived there... More

When we arrived by car to this hotel, the hill was very intimidating. Luckily, we could pay for space in a parking garage for 20 Euros/night & the garage wasn't far from the hotel. Worth every penny in my opinion. The staff was very attentive and nice. I did feel like I was getting the "add up" treatment when we... More

I booked two single rooms in September 2011 for our stay in mid-May. When we arrived they did not have 2 single rooms so they had to upgrade us to a Superior Room and a Room but at the single room price. The rooms were nice enough. The Superior room was on the street where all the workers drove around... More

Attractive position close to main square with fine views over the countryside. Parking is a problem in the town and 20 euros is the charge for the hotel garage! The alternative is to park just outside the city wall and climb back up the hill to the hotel . In our experience this is a perfectly safe place to leave... More

I have just returned from my annual stay in Cortona. I have stayed 5 times in the San Michele and have never been disappointed. Francesca and her team are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble in making your stay enjoyable. The hotel is exactly in the right place. It is just off the main square which houses great bars...

Reasonable pricing and decent breakfast. Not luxury, but a nice hotel. Staff is very welcoming and if you get lucky you can enjoy a fantastic view on Lago Trasimene (such an historic place!) from your room... even your bed. Recommended for family or couples, if you manage to go up there by car.

Stayed here recently with a girlfriend whilst attending a cookery course in picturesque Cortona. Hotel is a stone's throw from the main square yet offers total peace and tranquility. We found the staff polite and helpful. Our room was on the top floor with sloping ceiling and skylights which made it bright and airy (and which also made up for... More
