    It’s in an old fortress but nicely re-done. Had a wonderful charm to it. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast!

    Only wished we could have stayed longer.

    Staying at the Hotel Della Fortezza was definitely one of the highlights of our vacation. You are literally transported to a fairytale land. The grounds and surrounding areas/village is breathtaking. Our room was so charming. Breakfast was perfect. The staff reception is so friendly/welcoming/accommodating. A forever memory for all of us!

    Very historical outlook but comfy inside, clean and tidy, staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We arrived late on the first day, the staff called us several times to make sure we received the check in information. They are very responsible. The breakfast was very good with good selection of local sourced food.

    It would have been nice to find a bar with a fireplace.

    Totally uniqe hotel. Superb staff. To find a luxerius hotel with in a castle from the 12th century is unbelievable. Very interesting surroundings in Sorano and the other tufa willages.

    The staff were attentive and amazing. Breakfast was delicious and had many options including a lot of vegetarian options. We ate at the restaurant one night. The food was very good and much better than other area restaurants. It is a great place to stay for day trips to Pitigliano, Cascate del Mulino, and Civita di Bagnoregio. There are many shops in Sorano where the fortress is located. Just a great place to visit!

    The breakfast- where only sweet things were fresh everything other- the vegetables, cheese and ham, were very old. Since I cannot eat sugar, the 9€ was very inconvenient fee for uneatable breakfast.

    Everything was awesome

    The is one of the few properties where we have stayed that exceeded our expectations. The hotel is in an old fortress surrounded by a beautiful midlevel city. Our stroll through the city after dark was the highlight of our trip. The staff was exceptionally helpful. Breakfast was very good. The room was very good. We would make this a destination stop on another trip. Highly recommend.

    A real treat for anyone interested in the history & speactacle of the Tunscan Hill Towns, Fortezza turns back the clock, but not without some dedicated style. This fortress is no longer complete, but the hotel rooms each have their charms & the welcome is genuine. We very much enjoyed learning about the local wine making (historical and more recent), and how local farmers, from sheep to wheat, are banding together to showcase their unique specialities while managing the volcanic terroir in an area completely devoid of pollution over a 50km radius. Very comfortable beds, excellent bathroom facilities & a comprehensive breakfast, the hotel is linked to a delightful restaurant in the village, after a short downhill walk. We plan to stay again.

    Only the wifi didn't work for either of us, but it's possible that some special settings were needed.

    We were given room 14, which had a fantastic view of the city. The bed was comfortable, the room was pleasant, and the bathroom was clean. There were celebrations with music in the city, but closing the window made it non-disruptive. The owner served the coffees one morning; it was great talking to him and learning more about the castle. Thank you very much!
