This was a bucket list item - stay in a castle!! it was a real treat, the room was very clean, bed comfortable, great shower. Easy and free parking was a bonus, and so easy to walk around Sorano. The dinner was exceptional, definitely eat in their restaurant at least once. We would definitely stay here again.

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!

How many 1000 year old castles are also luxury hotels? The views over the ancient city are jaw dropping.

In my best stays in this 3 weeks trip in Italy. View from the room was amazing, looking down in the medieval village. The Sorano village is such a nice surprise. Staff was very welcoming. Being I. That castle and room almost made me travel in time, what a great feeling to be there. And price was very fair !!

We loved our stay at the Fortezza. The views from our room were magnificent!! The town is lovely to stroll around and we had some delicious food at the restaurant the hotel recommended. I took a night time tour to some local caves that was very interesting I thought the drive up to drop off our luggage was pretty fun! Very steep with a couple tight turns. The free parking area is close enough to bring luggage from if you don’t want to drive the steep way. I did have a little trouble finding it. Breakfast was amazing!

One of my favourite stays ever
Unbelievable! One of my favourite stays ever. The view was incredible. There was hardly anyone else around. The wifi worked great, free parking close by and free. Lovely village. The pizza at the pizzeria was by far my favourite pizza ever. Told all my friends who want to come and stay. The view from room 6 was incredible. 10/10

hidden gem with character and great service
What a find! An incredible place with so much character and history. We were so well looked after by the owner. The tasting menu was delicious and a real flavour of the area. The room was simple but very clean with everything you needed. Very comfortable bed. Overall a fantastic find and stay-would highly recommend it and hope to return!

Interesting hotel
This hotel is in an incredible location. Only downside was that we had to carry heavy suitcase up steep stairs to get to our room. Rooms are quite small, not much room for luggage. Breakfast was basic but good. You also have to leave your car away from the hotel.

Worried when we didn’t think there was a parking lot but a lady told us as we started walking up the hill it was just on the right side. Wonderful hostess. Even met the owner. One of the best stops of our trip. Loved the area especially the little pizza place that you can’t even tell is open down the hill. Walking through the hillside village was very romantic.

The Castle Tower Suite
The room was very charming and really interesting! We were only there for one night, but the service was excellent. Since we had to leave before their complementary breakfast time, the receptionist graciously offered to send up a breakfast tray. We asked for a couple of items for breakfast that were not standard fare, and our tray arrived before bed time with everything we needed.

Unexpected! A really nice hotel in a Castle! Beautiful hotel in a quaint town perched on a hill overlooking the city! Wonderful! They even arranged a night tour into the hand dug Etruscan valley, and a tour of the fortress! Would Highly Recommend!

Checking in was very difficult because the entrance to the property is 350-400 yards from the parking lot over cobblestones and up stairs. There was no bellman to assist us. Once we got settled the staff and the owner were extremely pleasant. The grounds are beautiful but this is definitely not a hotel for the handicap.
