What guests think
Across many reviews, Hotel San Michele stands out for its central Cortona location and exceptionally helpful, friendly staff, with numerous guests also praising the generous breakfast and the building’s historic charm, quiet ambience, and generally clean, well-kept spaces.
Some guests found room layouts quirky and showers very small, with occasional hard beds, sloped ceilings, or internal stairs that made certain rooms feel cramped or inconvenient. Parking and access can be tricky in the walled center, with a very limited paid garage and steep, narrow streets; pre-booking parking or arranging assistance is advisable. Best for travellers comfortable with quirky layouts in exchange for a memorable stay.

Staff are excellent, 5 stars. The age of the hotel combined with location and lack of amenities only rates two stars. The quaintness and historical significance rates 5 stars. However, beds were super hard, there was no coffee in the room and the shower (no tub) was the size of something in an RV. Our suite could only be accessed by stairs, managing our own luggage, and another we toured had the bathroom up a set of stairs inside the suite. Ask before you book. The tub suite is unique, must verify this is what you booked. Streets around are very steep and narrow. Parking in the hotel garage (recommended) is limited to 2 or 3 cars. Pre book this if you want it. Breakfast was OK but go early if you want hot food. Will try a different hotel next time.

Very helpful staff who parked our car in the difficult to manage car park. Great cleaning staff. We had marvelous views from our terrace. The hotel is old, but they have done their best to add modern amenities. We would have liked some warning that the water left in our refrigerator was not complimentary. That was our only niggle over a hotel we would definitely recommend..

This is a fantastic hotel. We highly recommend it for a stay in Cortona. The hotel parking is fantastic, and the building is most interesting. But, above all it is the staff who are exceptionally good. So helpful and knowledgeable—really an amazingly good experience, right in the heart of the old city.

Wonderdul historic hotel in a very convenient location just steps from the main square in Cortona. Delightful front desk staff that was very helpful. Enjoyed a great breakfast that had everything from scarmbled eggs to breakfast cakes. We arranged to park our car in their little garage next door at an additional charge. However you need to reserve that in advance and it has just a couple of spaces. Highly recommend this charming hotel.

First off, Cortona is BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING! Such an amazing old walled city to walk, photograph and enjoy! Second, this property is one of the most beautiful and ancient places I’ve ever stayed! The halls and rooms were stunning. Old stone and iron everywhere. We stayed in the top room with the terrace. Oh man, I just can’t tell you how beautiful and fun this stay was. We sat on the terrace and watched the meteor shower while I did night photography! This property is stunning. The parking down the hill was free! Just pull into the parking lot, park, then call the desk to get you a taxi up to the hotel! Unless you’re fit and can climb a hill with suitcases get a quick 2 minute taxi up there! Trust me, it’s a walled city and the walk up and down is a thing! It’s only 150 yards or so but damn, it’s an ancient cobble stone hill! Get the ride! Bring comfy shoes because you’re gonna walk the whole town!

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!!!!!

Their family rooms are brilliant with two separate spaces (and air con!) and breakfast is superb with excellent choices. We will be back!

The staff is hands down the best part about this property. They're attentive and helpful. It's a very unique, old property located just off the main part of the town. There are restaurants very close by and it's maybe a two minute walk to the main square. Breakfast was quite good. The only thing I didn't like was the location of our room, which was basically in the attic, up a tilted, uneven staircase. The roof sloped and we couldn't even use part of the room. We had one, very tiny window. Granted, it did have an amazing view of the valley, so we liked that. We were told we had gotten the very last room, so there wasn't a way to move to a better room. The only other issue was that the bed was really hard.

We enjoyed a four-night stay in one of their superior rooms and appreciated its spaciousness, in-room fridge, and attentive staff. They offer a great breakfast spread each morning, and are a minute's walk from the town's main piazzas. We'd be happy to stay again next time in town.

Bellissimo hotel posizionato in centro a Cortona (occhio alla ZTL!). Ottimi servizi. Unico neo è che, essendo inserito in antichissimo palazzo, se da un lato l'atmosfera è eccezionale, dall'altro sconta il fatto che alcune cose, in termini pratici e tecnici, sono un po' sacrificare...parlo della stanza piuttosto fredda (solo uno split in pompa di calore) e della mancanza di doccia di misura adeguata (sono alto 192 cm è ho fatto la doccia in ginocchio nella vasca allagando il bagno).

Wonderdul historic hotel in a very convenient location just steps from the main square in Cortona. Delightful front desk staff that was very helpful. Enjoyed a great breakfast that had everything from scarmbled eggs to breakfast cakes. We arranged to park our car in their little garage next door at an additional charge. However you need to reserve that in advance and it has just a couple of spaces. Highly recommend this charming hotel.

Amazing location, extremely helpful staff, staff spoke perfect English, so it made communications super easy. I would say your bed pillows are more like seat cushions and hard as rocks.

Exceptionally central, just steps from Cortona’s main square and dining. Reaching the hotel can involve steep, narrow streets and limited nearby parking in the historic zone.

We had a lovely stay and wished we could have stayed longer. We stayed at Hotel San Michelle two years ago and definitely wanted to stay there again. It is located just a few steps from the town square, shopping and wonderful dining spots. I will recommend Hotel San Michelle to friends who are going to Italy this fall.

Parking is hard to find at the base and it’s 30euros at the property. From the parking to the hotel is a steep up hill walk.

We were both delighted and terrified about staying at this hotel! It was a great hotel in all aspects a traveler wanted. The room was great.The staff was great. The hotel itself was very interesting with some large common rooms which were perfect settings for your camera. The hotel was a couple steps from the main charming square where they shot the movie Under The Tuscan Sun. So it was in a perfect location, right? Not so fast! The perfect location was also on top of a very steep hill, and the road was a very narrow coble-stone road. I guess it was nothing if you were the local. But for a bad American driver like myself, it was terrifying. My tiny underpowered rental car bearly squeezed through the road, and I was lucky not to run over anyone because the road was so steep all I could see was the blue sky above, not the road below. It was some experience! But, we got through the fear and had a wonderful time at this hotel

The staff is hands down the best part about this property. They're attentive and helpful. It's a very unique, old property located just off the main part of the town. There are restaurants very close by and it's maybe a two minute walk to the main square. Breakfast was quite good. The only thing I didn't like was the location of our room, which was basically in the attic, up a tilted, uneven staircase. The roof sloped and we couldn't even use part of the room. We had one, very tiny window. Granted, it did have an amazing view of the valley, so we liked that. We were told we had gotten the very last room, so there wasn't a way to move to a better room. The only other issue was that the bed was really hard.

Staff are excellent, 5 stars. The age of the hotel combined with location and lack of amenities only rates two stars. The quaintness and historical significance rates 5 stars. However, beds were super hard, there was no coffee in the room and the shower (no tub) was the size of something in an RV. Our suite could only be accessed by stairs, managing our own luggage, and another we toured had the bathroom up a set of stairs inside the suite. Ask before you book. The tub suite is unique, must verify this is what you booked. Streets around are very steep and narrow. Parking in the hotel garage (recommended) is limited to 2 or 3 cars. Pre book this if you want it. Breakfast was OK but go early if you want hot food. Will try a different hotel next time.

We enjoyed a four-night stay in one of their superior rooms and appreciated its spaciousness, in-room fridge, and attentive staff. They offer a great breakfast spread each morning, and are a minute's walk from the town's main piazzas. We'd be happy to stay again next time in town.

What a magical hotel and it felt like we stepped back in time. Sadly we only spent one night and it was so comfortable. Great breakfast buffet and service was so friendly. Front desk was so helpful with our car parking. Drove up to the front door and a valet drove it to a parking spot. Easy walk to every thing in Cortona. Restaurants and shopping in less than 30 seconds from front door. Room was so comfortable. Room did not have a tea kettle but the cappuccino at breakfast was delicious Great place to stay and would love to visit again
