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!!!

This is a fortress as the name of the hotel implies. The rooms are in the Fortress Orsini. There is a parking lot that's about a 3-5 minute walk to the hotel (depending on how close to the hotel you park) but beware of maps on the iPhone. It indicated that I had to walk a lot farther, but when I called the hotel, they explained that I only had to walk a few minutes. The room was decent but since I sent in November, it was cool. The room had a radiator but I was informed that it was turned on only a couple times a day. So the room was not comfortable. Sleeping wasn't a problem because if it's a little cool, one can still stay warm. However, after a very long walk down to the city and back, I cam back to the hotel and it was very cold. And even when the heat was turned on, there was only a trickle of heat coming from the radiator. Be aware of this if you are traveling there during cold weather.

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.
