An absolutely amazing location, wonderful hosts and incredible food. Stunning views from the room, clean bathroom. Fantastic wine tour and tasting, very clear instructions regarding parking. The only thing we’d change is a fan or some air con though we fully appreciate that might not be possible due to the historic nature of the building. It was a little too warm for us at night and we were reluctant to leave the windows open as there was a gap in a mosquito screen. This may not be an issue for others who are more used to the heat! Thank you for a most wonderful stay. Provided the perfect base to visit the Tuff towns. We will recommend to friends and family.

I was very disappointed with this hotel. I stayed here 5 years ago and was so impressed with this hotel that it was the highlight of my trip to Italy…this time it was not as good. Will not be returning.

We stayed here for our 20th anniversary. Our stay here was like a fairy tale, a dream, and trip back in time. Romantic atmosphere, beautiful room with a nice view, quiet, peaceful, magical, even the furniture was beautiful. This was the most unique and wonderful experience I have ever enjoyed! I recommend this to everyone!

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.
