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.

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.

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.

You cannot beat the setting: a 900-year-old fortress on the top of a hill!
There is a great buffet breakfast available, but no restaurant on premises.
The staff are friendly and dedicated.

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.

Can't recommend a stay here more highly! The hotel, in a fortress, is utterly amazing. Staff goes above and beyond and breakfast was wonderful. Definitely do the Etruscan hollow caves night excursion. Our guide was Erica and she was excellent.

Loved the rooms, the rugs, the comfortable beds and beautiful views. The woman serving coffee in the breakfast area seemed stressed and a bit grumpy but the breakfast was delicious!
