Hotel Della Fortezza

What a stunning place to stay! Much like the owner's partner, we immediately fell in love with the view from the Fortezza, overlooking Sorano and the surrounding green hills. The hosts are so accommodating, and we really enjoyed having an aperitivo in the courtyard before dinner at the restaurant, which itself was one of the highlight meals of our holiday. The breakfast spread was phenomenal as well!

Cristiano and Silvia, the owners, couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. Cristiano shared his exceptional wines with us and took us on an amazing tour of his ancient caves. We also did the Via Cave hike in the evening which was unique and memorable, definitely worth it. The proximity to Pitigliano and Sovana is really close. There's plenty to do for a few days or longer. The food is excellent. We were happy we booked the half board. Cristiano's rose wine is award winning, but his white wine is excellent as well. The fortezza (castle really) is one of a kind in a good way.

Exceptional location in a fort. Room was ok, although being described as a suite on Booking was pushing it a bit. Fairly steep price considering but then it was the weekend. Breakfast was poor: my partner found all on off very dry (bread and cakes). And their „form“ to fill out for a coffee was just weird and unnecessary.

Too much of a stick up their ass. Relax and ditch the pointless coffee card.

The location was beautiful, especially knowing that the property was once a fortress. The staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately, the room was very different from the photos. It was a nice room, but not one that felt worth the price we paid. The door also could not be properly locked because the knob was loose. The staff were aware of the issue, but simply told us to pull the door harder. During the night, there was a storm and the electricity went out. As a result, we had no way to charge our phones or use the fan, making the room uncomfortably hot and difficult to sleep in. At checkout, we were told that there was nothing they could do about the weather, which is understandable. However, we were disappointed that they did not even try to offer any form of compensation or discount, especially considering that we had paid extra for the cellar tour and wine tasting and had also purchased a bottle of their wine.
