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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
An absolutely amazing location, wonderful hosts and incredible food. Stunning views from the room, clean bathroom. Fantastic wine tour and tasting, very clear instructions regarding parking. The only thing we’d change is a fan or some air con though we fully appreciate that might not be possible due to the historic nature of the building. It was a little too warm for us at night and we were reluctant to leave the windows open as there was a gap in a mosquito screen. This may not be an issue for others who are more used to the heat! Thank you for a most wonderful stay. Provided the perfect base to visit the Tuff towns. We will recommend to friends and family.

The apartment was beautiful and a perfect location for seeing the Bienniale. Around the corner is a wonderful restaurant. The agent who helped us was responsive and kind. My only suggestion would be to update the guests’ guide and directions for finding the apartment. Otherwise it was a lovely stay.

Vanessa

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This place was interesting. I only stayed a night like cool a castle looking place, but when I arrived, I realized it was an entire experience. I would definitely go back just to explore all this place has to offer. I went during the rain, so I did find some beetles creeping in when I opened the window to see the view. So be aware if bugs spook you! Also, if you stay in room 3, the WiFi didn’t really reach to the bed. I had to leave my phone near the door in case someone had to call me. Which was fine. Breakfast was okay. But def would come back to explore.

A wonderful stay at Hotel Della Fortezza

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!
