Not a resort. The staff are kind but limited in their abilities to effect change. Food is only marginally good. Breads are stale, cakes are dry, eggs must be ordered and are good at breakfast. The cook smokes outside the back door which is a real turn-off to think he’s breathing smoke on my dinner?? My Carpaccio was thick, tough to chew raw meat. A ‘panini’ was dry bread and cold cheese and ham (both were not eatable). Plain tomatoe sauce with pasta was fine at dinner. But in Italy and at a resort I expected really nice food, I can make plain pasta at home. Several loud people drinking beers and bottles of wine dominated the pool. Glass was allowed around the pool area and I fear it will break and someone will be cut. Rooms are NOT luxurious, nor do they look like the photos. The AC worked well and the area is quiet so that was very nice. We stayed for 4 days and there was NO availability at the Spa. We were supposed to get a massage but there was no appointments available. The town of Cortona is nearby but very crowded and dirty. We did not eat there. We found a delightful restaurant nearby in Camachi (sp) called La Bracerie and the foods was outstanding. Every dish was excellent and so reasonably priced and served with a smile. Go there!!!…

Overall the hotel is not so bad, but the linens and pillows are a bit worn and need replacing. The restaurant is fine, but could be so much better if a bit more attention was paid and the food was improved slightly. The biggest disappointment was the noise - certain workers and trash pick up starts as early at 6:30 am and there is party-like noise from the restaurants patio (where we were told we could not eat) until midnight. I left sleep deprived.

We absolutely this hotel! A first visit to the area. The hotel is set in beautiful gardens with a large.car.park and beautiful pool and lounging area. Our room was spacious. The bed was increadibly.comfortable, and the shower was powerful. It has a welcoming team of staff, and all the bar and restaurant staff were super attentive and very friendly. Dario (?) Sorry if I have that wrong, francesco and the young lady who was so bright and bubly, whose name I can not remember, sorry. You were great! Brinig our drinks and chatting. We used the hotel jaguar for a few trips to cortona.town on an evening as there is not really any public transport, which was great. We walked up during the day to use a few calories , it takes about 20 minutes, and it is a steep climb !

At the end of a fabulous week spent nearby our party of 8 selected the Restaurant at the Cortona Resort and Spa for our farewell dinner party. Our experience was a major disappointment. The venue is exceptional but the kitchen and staff have no idea. Perhaps the chef had left ? Lovely young staff had no training on any aspect of a Restaurant . The food at best mediocre but in some cases not even a reflection of the written menu, dishes missed out, dishes delivered at the wrong time, our collective description being " Fred Carno's Circus ". Upon the wine front things get worse....the owners " own vineyard " Sangovasie was totally undrinkable...the young staff did try but have been let down by poor management. We are fair people and paid our bill and tipped the young team, if you ever read this and you are the owner we recommend you get a grip and quick or you will fail. …

My friend and I spent a delightful week in this small spa hotel in Cortona. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They sorted out whatever we needed. I loved the outdoor heated pool which really helped with my sciatica. Sauna, salt room, relaxing room and massage were a treat. The buffet breakfast was delicious with really fresh pastries as well as local meats and cheeses. Evening meals were tasty too. Taxi rides to and from the city of Cortona are essential. It is a very interesting ancient city with a most interesting Etruscan museum, some wonderful paintings in the Diocesan museum and many cafés serving local as well as standard food. It was a memorable holiday.

This is a lovely hotel which is made even more special by it lovely spa. There is a pool which is heated and starts inside the hotel but you can then swim outside. We really enjoyed relaxing in the spa after a day of sightseeing All the amenities showers etc were high class. In the summer they also have a separate outdoor pool a short distance from main building through the attractive grounds We had a room in the main hotel which was a nice size with a small seating area and good bathroom with shower. Very clean room and comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet was good. If you are slightly ambitious you can walk from the hotel up to Cortona along a quiet road. The hotel staff were so worried when we asked if it was possible. It's a long way up it's steep they told us several times. It was typical of their very caring attitude. As was true in all of Italy they carefully checked our vaccination status on arrival…

Outstanding. The rooms, the grounds, the food, the pools, the spa, and the services all were outstanding. Our room was in the villetta, and offered the best bathroom/shower that I have ever seen at an Italian hotel. The room itself was bright and airy, yet with old Tuscan touches. The bed was perfect for a sound night of sleep. The expansive grounds are impeccably kept by the charming Massimiliano, including the 200 year old Sequoia tree (yes, from a seed brought by a monk from California). The pools were a gathering spot late afternoons, usually with a bit of Prosecco. Also, most of our group took advantage the spa. At first blush, I would not think of spending time at the spa in Italy; however, the spa made the trip so much more relaxing. The food, at both dinner and breakfast was delicious, beyond compare. We spent some time with the chef, Donato, as he shared insights about some of our favorites. This place is set apart by the service, think of Ritz Carlton service without the pomp. Sachith and Julia at the front desk were amazing, from helping us to plan the details of our next trip to Italy, to working through logistics on our current trip, they went above and beyond. I can’t speak highly enough about the wait staff in the restaurant, in particular Christian with help from Jerry. We met as guest of the hotel, and by the time of departure, we invited them to our Christmas party in Illinois. We will certainly see them again, in Cortona or back home when they visit. Amazing.…

We had a wonderful time at the resort - the breakfast was satisfying, the staff was very pleasant, the grounds were well kept (including a nice heated pool), and the spa was a nice addition. Short drive to Cortona proper and there is a nice minimarket less than half a mile away.
