Hotel della Fortezza

The setting of the La Fortezza is absolutely beautiful, it’s such a gem, one of the most special places we have been. The hotels 16 rooms are located in an historic fortress with stunning views. After a long drive in an enchanting forest you get to the magical SORANO and this hotel. We loved it. The rooms are very pretty and clean and have been renovated in a very unique way with very good taste. The buffet breakfast was very nice. And dinner in their roof patio was lovely. Very nice staff. Will definitely come again !

The Castle is located conveniently where the restaurants, cafes, and main piazza are, steps away. The main staff are very pleasant and helpful if you are looking for suggestions. Very nice spot.

Sleeping in a castle was a great experience!!! Sorano is incredibly beautiful! We had a great time!

Fabulous location and amenities. Rooms super comfortable and clean. We really loved our stay here and will be back. Additionally, the food exceed our expectations. Highly recommend!

The room was perfect!! No air conditioning though. Staff were excellent. Breakfast was tasty. Dinner was fabulous and the wine. Pet friendly.

Very accommodating location.

Reception and staff were very courteous. Castle hotel was very interesting.

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!!!

The staff were so kind I can not recommend this place more. The atmosphere were excellent.

Every aspect about this hotel was much agreeable to us - beautiful surroundings and breakfast far above the avg, especially croissants. Staff was wonderful as well.

Great hotel with clean room. We loved the atmosphere and views.

This is one of the most unique hotels in all of Tuscany. Situated in 12the century fortress, this place combines the exquisite taste of the owner and management with the old charm of Sorano. I would highly recommend it to all travellers.

Lovely staff! Lovely property! Clean and attractive room with a beautiful view.

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.

The staff was amazing, all was perfect, I felt like living in another century.

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!!

Great spot! Beautiful views and welcoming staff

Amazing hidden place that’s worth the stop to explore and learn! Incredible views, great wines and so peaceful. Highly recommend.

Outstanding place to stay! Don’t miss it!

Highly recommended for a unique opportunity to stay at a fortress
