Fortezza de' Cortesi is a beautiful restored B&B Inn in a working farm near San Gemingnano. The place and owners were very welcoming. The house was comfortable and all that a country inn should be in Tuscany. San Gemingnano, Siena, and Monteriggioni were all easily accessible and a less than one hour train ride put us in the center of... More

Cledy made our trip to Tuscany even more special. We stayed at Fortezza de'Cortesi during the days surrounding our wedding in Certaldo (20 minutes away). Cledy made sure I had a hair appointment ready for me in nearby Poggibonsi and took care of us at her restaurant in San Gimignano, Dulcis in Fundo. The pool was the perfect place to... More

Asolutely lovely couple run this place. They are friendly, caring and very sophisticated. Breakfast at the dining room in the morning was fab and getting to know the others. Lovely room with surreal views. They run a fab restaurant in San G where one has to eat. The farm and the surroundings are easily the best in toscana More

Beautifully restored fortress which kept its original features but also has everything that a modern tourist may need. The rooms are spacious and scrupulously clean. The breakfast area and the common living room are lovely. Fairy tale gardens. The owners make sure that you have plenty of privacy-much appreciated. They also own a fantastic restaurant in San Gimignano, for which... More

If you wish for a modern, sanitized 5 star hotel then Fortezza de Cortesi is definitely not for you.However,if you wish for a 5 star,warm Italian welcome then this beautifully well maintained renovated Italian home is just the ticket. From the moment we arrived,after a 'challenging' drive up a steep hill side, and opened our car doors we were met... More

We spent 4 days and had great surprise during breakfast, Maria Ines, the attendant was warm and special , food could be better tough, specially more variation on breads and fruits - not only a single one - and juices , for the price we were expecting at least a fresh one. Cledy and Roberto give the privacy you want,... More

Fortezza de' Cortesi is one of a kind. The setting of the B&B is beautiful and Roberto and Cleddy are very kind and welcoming. We were lucky enough to visit towards the end of May and caught all the roses in bloom which were truly amazing. Although the landscape is very nicely planted and promises to have something in bloom... More

This 5-room B&B -- a centuries old restored fortified villa -- is located on a hilltop, a few minutes from San Gimignano in Tuscany. Very quiet, scenic location. Antique furniture. Just a short drive to Siena, Florence, Chianii, Pisa, etc. They were very accommodating of our special dietary restrictions -- cooked a special breakfast for us every day. The only... More

Great location with views of San Gimignano's towers in the distance. All bedrooms were clean and had there own ensuite and each had a wonderful view of the tuscan hills. We had lots of fun taking turns in the kitchen and trying out the local food and wines. San Gimignano, Sienna and the Chianti Region were all an easy drive... More
