"I will stay in Cortana could not have been any better, we could not have picked a better hotel. The location is wonderful and right in the middle of the town. The rooms were clean and plenty of character and looked out with a fantastic view. The hotel staff were incredible, so friendly and helpful and even offered to send some belongings we left behind After checkout to us. We were travelling with kids and they accommodated our every need. I would 100% stay at this hotel again just based on the service we received. The actual building was really a bonus and the walk ability made our stay perfect! Great job hotel staff!!!!! "

"Villa Svetoni was the perfect stay in our favorite region of Italy—Tuscany. The rolling valleys and surrounding landscape were absolutely breathtaking, and the property itself is elegant, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. The main breakfast attendant went above and beyond every morning, offering warm, attentive service that made us feel truly cared for. The receptionist was incredibly helpful as well—they assisted us in booking a horseback riding experience, which turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. If you’re looking for a relaxing escape in the heart of Tuscany with exceptional service and stunning views, Villa Svetoni is a perfect choice."
