Sorano was our final leg of journey to Tuscany in May 2026. It was our first experience staying in a hotel converted from medieval fortress! We cannot thank enough the hotel staff, Silvia, for providing us extremely detailed instructions and advice before and during the stay, and Bianca, for providing us a room upgrade (with magnificent view on the town below and the valley). The place itself, Sorano, is deeply rich with Etruscan history (caves, ancient roads, etc.) and is just 10 km from another medieval gem, Pitigliano. If you arrive by car, the free parking lot is conveniently located just outside the castle gates with 2 minutes' walk to the hotel itself. Highly recommend!!!
It was a great experience!! Loved the hotel and walking around. Sylvia was especially kind and gracious. The rosa house wine was excellent. We will be back from America and will certainly tell our friends and family!! Thank you you such a memorable experience!!
This property itself was truly amazing! To top that off, the staff and continental breakfast were truly wonderful! Everything about our stay here was just beautiful!
We had an amazing experience at Hotel Della Fortezza! The unique atmosphere and historic setting made our stay truly special. What really stood out to us was the hotel’s strong commitment to sustainability — from eco-friendly practices to their focus on local, organic products.
We especially loved the delicious locally produced food, which gave us a real taste of the region. It’s clear that the hotel values quality and the environment in everything they do.
Highly recommended — definitely worth a visit!
This was a fantastic hotel. The service was impeccable. The dinner was amazing. The owners are amazing and love what they do. I am planning to come back and spend more time. I only regret that is was only for one night.
Staying in a 12th century fortress is an experience that simply can't be missed. The room, staff and breakfast exceeded our expectations. The local walk about the small town is also fabulouse.
I was truly amazed by my stay at this magnificent and unique hotel near Pitigliano. The rooms, the service, and the place itself are outstanding—by far one of the best places I stayed at during my visit to the Tuscany region. The owner’s attention and hospitality are top-notch, a solid 10 out of 10. Highly recommended!
What a beautiful part of Italy.
Stunning location, wonderful service from everyone we met and great breakfast and dinner in the restaurant in the town too.
We didn’t want to leave!
Loved the rooms, the rugs, the comfortable beds and beautiful views. The woman serving coffee in the breakfast area seemed stressed and a bit grumpy but the breakfast was delicious!
We stayed here for our 20th anniversary. Our stay here was like a fairy tale, a dream, and trip back in time. Romantic atmosphere, beautiful room with a nice view, quiet, peaceful, magical, even the furniture was beautiful. This was the most unique and wonderful experience I have ever enjoyed! I recommend this to everyone!
This was a bucket list item - stay in a castle!! it was a real treat, the room was very clean, bed comfortable, great shower. Easy and free parking was a bonus, and so easy to walk around Sorano. The dinner was exceptional, definitely eat in their restaurant at least once. We would definitely stay here again.
Why not stay in a castle when you have the chance?
We really liked our stay at the Fortezza. It is not luxurious, but it more than makes up for it with bucketloads of character. It is a great place from which to survey Sorano from above and to descend into its charming labyrinths. The associated restaurant in town was also really good.
The staff was fantastic. They are kind, helpful, and have passion for their food and wine. The place is perfect if you want some quiet time close to nature.
We stayed one night and were enchanted with the fortress turned hotel in the heart of Sorano. Our room had amazing views of the surrounding town, the breakfast had fantastic coffee and a wide assortment of meats, cheeses, breads, and pastries. The owners tour of the underground wine cellars and wine making process capped off with a tasting was informative and delicious.
