Guest reviews for Dolce Maria
"Great central location and charming antique furnishings."
"Multiple flights of stairs to reach the guest rooms could be a problem for people with mobility issues."
"Old but modern conveniences. Super friendly and helpful host Paola"
"Aucun."
"Excellent location, charming and very large, comfortable room. Breakfast was delicious, and dinner in Paola’s restaurant was one of the best of our trip…Grazie!"
"Aucun."
"The location was perfect, just around the corner from the main square. The price included a great breakfast with delicious pastries made by the owner. The building and rooms have plenty of character and charm, featuring antique furnishings. The room was very clean, and the bed was firm and comfortable. The owner was very accommodating. We arrived by car and had to park outside the city walls, so she picked us up along with our luggage and even checked us in early. If you’re looking for luxury and modern amenities, this place isn’t for you. But if you want to experience life like a local, soak in the atmosphere of a medieval town, and enjoy its authentic charm, this place will definitely make you feel that."

"Fantastic food (both at breakfast and at dinner), lovely host, great location."

"Paola maintains a magnificent treasure inside the walls of Cortona. The rooms, both our room and common rooms, were exceptionally well-appointed with furnishings and comforts appropriate for a building over 500 years old. Her breakfast was fresh, made to order, and wonderfully scrumptious. But the highlight was dinner, which she insisted we enjoy with her. It was terrific, flavorful and truly distinctive among the many restaurants available in Cortona (or anywhere in Italy). She is wonderfully welcoming and we fell in love with the property and her and stayed an additional night for the sheer joy of doing so."

"The warmth of the hosts and the staff was the best part of our stay. A lovely family run operation."

"The host drove me to the parking lot to get my bag, and took me back after checkout. Very helpful!"
"Aucun."
"The property is in the middle of town, very close to the plaza. This is an authentic building-with high ceilings and stone stairs. The owner, Paola, is the chef as well-dinner was delicious-as was the croissants and hand made jams. A delightful experience."
"There are long staircases, so if stairs are difficult, this is not for you-but it was not an issue. There are two cats who have free rein of the home, so that may be a deterrent, but they are not aggressive and are sweet."
"The owner was great! Stay was amazing and very close to the main attractions. Room was clean and designed very well."
"Nothing."

Budrovac Motel Monterosa
"We had an absolutely lovely stay at the historic and romantic Torre Di Vico. The room was very clean, beautifully decorated and had a good shower and comfortable bed. Location was right around the corner from the Cathedral. A delicious and abundant breakfast was provided in the morning. Our thanks to Giulia who went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied with our room."
"Ein familiär, geführtes kleines Agriturismo in abgeschiedenen, sehr ruhiger Lage. Das traditionelle sardische Abendessen war der Hammer. Sehr gute Küche."
Werner Agriturismo Menhir
"Wonderful location in lovely old town, small comfortable room, helpful welcome, great for a short stay."
Heather Gredo Antica Dimora
"We have stayed in the hotel just one day, but the host of the hotel really managed to impress with an exceptional level of service. The rooms are quite large and clean. The hotel is located in the center of a small Italian city near the Alps. There is a large parking lot in the hotel, which is very helpful especially when you need to park your car in a city center. The breakfast was very good and we were really touched when the owner proposed to serve the breakfast an hour earlier than usual to allows us to catch our flight early in the morning."
