Hotel Italia Cortona

Centrally located with friendly staff and delicious breakfast, offering great value. Guests praise cleanliness, comfort, and beautiful views. Some mention the need for better lighting in rooms.

Excellent location just off Piazza Republica. Friendly and helpful staff. Decent sized room with a very nice view. But I have a very important suggestion for the hotel: Please put a mini-fridge in the room. I would have really liked to buy a few things from the grocery store to keep in my room, especially some bottled water, fruit and maybe a bottle of wine. Not having a mini fridge detracted from my enjoyment of the downtime that I had in my room. Another suggestion would be to keep the 4th floor breakfast room open all day so guests can use it as a lounge and enjoy the beautiful views. One thing about Cortona which is no reflection of the hotel: If you don’t have access to a car, staying in Cortona is difficult. There are no metered taxis and private cars, even for a short ride to the train station, are very hard to come by. You have to rely on a public bus that goes to the train station and the bus is very reliable and even pleasant, but hours are limited.

The room was large and spacious which was ideal for our 4 night stay for a friends wedding. Air con worked, views from our room across the roof tops and all the facilities in the room you may need such as hairdryer and safe. Breakfast was in the top of the hotel with panoramic views and the breakfast itself was good. Location fantastic being just off the main square but also not too noisy.
