Attractive position close to main square with fine views over the countryside. Parking is a problem in the town and 20 euros is the charge for the hotel garage! The alternative is to park just outside the city wall and climb back up the hill to the hotel . In our experience this is a perfectly safe place to leave... More

I have just returned from my annual stay in Cortona. I have stayed 5 times in the San Michele and have never been disappointed. Francesca and her team are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble in making your stay enjoyable. The hotel is exactly in the right place. It is just off the main square which houses great bars...

Reasonable pricing and decent breakfast. Not luxury, but a nice hotel. Staff is very welcoming and if you get lucky you can enjoy a fantastic view on Lago Trasimene (such an historic place!) from your room... even your bed. Recommended for family or couples, if you manage to go up there by car. More

Stayed here recently with a girlfriend whilst attending a cookery course in picturesque Cortona. Hotel is a stone's throw from the main square yet offers total peace and tranquility. We found the staff polite and helpful. Our room was on the top floor with sloping ceiling and skylights which made it bright and airy (and which also made up for... More

Excellent location in the centre of Cortona. Room at the top with skylights was bright and spacious with large bathroom. Staff were friendly and courteous. Breakfast was good. More

The room was just beautiful! Such a quaint and lovely room - we just loved it. Clean and very, very nice. We didn't want to drive into the Etruscan city so we parked outside and it was quite a hike up the street but well worth it. One way to work off dinner!! My husband says you have to be... More

May partner and I have returned from three weeks in Italy, one week was spent at the outstanding Hotel San Michele. An absolute pleasure it was too, from the moment we entered the Hotel and where greeted by Lily the entire experience was fantastic. We stayed in a room with a balcony, seperate sitting area, mamoth bathroom and a day... More

We stayed at the San Michelle for one night to recover from our journey from London on our way to Monte San Savino the following morning. Lovely hotel - we had ordered a taxi to collect us from the station but it wasn't there. However a quick phone call, in English, and they sent one straightaway. The hotel is right... More

This was our third visit to Cortona, but the first time we stayed in town (two nights). At the top of the steep Via Guelfa, it has such an elegant ambience. The public rooms are lovely, and our room was charming with its canopied bed. Breakfast buffet was ample and varied. You step out the door, walk a dozen steps... More
