lovely spacious room. very close to Main Piazza.

steep stairs, difficult for a person with mobility issues

Beautifully appointed room with period furniture and modern bathroom There was a spiral staircase to the rooftop which offered a spectacular panoramic view of Camucia and the surrounding countryside. The family run restaurant prepared a delicious breakfast with homemade jams , bread, cakes and local meats. The hosts were very welcoming and generous. We had a reservation at a nearby restaurant, but on our next visit we would definitely choose the family restaurant as our first stop .

Nothing we didn’t like, but if you have a challenge with stairs it does not have a mechanical lift .

The location was very convenient to the main plaza. The owner, Paola, is a gracious host and an exceptional Chef. Their restaurant connected to the property was an excellent example of the Tuscan cooking. Her Pici al Fumo is a local Cortona recipe that is a must to try.

You need to be prepared to climb up steps as the historic building has several floors and levels. The breakfast was a fine mix of yogurt, fresh pastries fruit and make do order expresso drinks, but a continental breakfast only.

The location was great! Had lots of character; it was the best ceiling view looking up from the bed we’ve seen to date. And the prayer, kneeling bench with the Jesus art was unique. Bed a little hard and the pillows past their prime, the window shutters we didn’t open as they seemed fragile. Bathroom was good and there was a nice communal room with a fridge. Breakfast was simple but also good. But, hey, what can one expect in a medieval lodging. The host, Paola, was a sweetheart and the on-site restaurant was good (had a celebrity sighting to boot). If you’re looking for more modern comfort, this is not the place. But if you’re looking for a truly memorable experience, this is it!

See above.

We loved the personal attention of the owners who went way out of their way for us! The gorgeous historic building, well-furnished, was a treasure. Nice breakfast of homemade selections. Great location near the main town plaza. Also we adored the three house cats!

Nothing! A pleasure all around. Lack of a lift was no problem as the husband handled our (extensive) luggage, with a few humorous puffs.

traditional apartment with great street & sky view. plenty of room and a neat bathroom. the bed was really comfy. paintings and furnishing were lovely and fitted the historic nature of the building. hosts Paola & Franco were really lovely people who made us feel welcome and like family in their home. the food provided for dinner and breakfast was exceptional, homemade marmalade, bread, cakes, croisssants, pastas, etc. Paola is a superb chef with first rate customer service ethic & warm welcoming approach.

everything was great. guests need to remember these medieval stone buildings don’t have lifts so be prepared to negotiate stairs to get luggage into your room.

Cortona is a beautiful town - well worth exploring right up to the top. We loved Dolce Maria - it's full of character, lovely big room with high ceiling, and as others have said, the best breakfasts. It was a special place to stay. Plus easy access from the carpark (which is beneath the old city walls), and easy to explore from. We felt very welcome. Next time I think we would save up and try to book the room with the terrace and view.

Great location and value! Ate dinner twice ( it Moana bed and breakfast property 6 rooms.. 7 would classify as hotel)…. And it was really good. Morning/breakfast croissants were best of our two weeks in Italy. Host will help with taxi’s when leaving, but they are not travel planners for you.

There are a lot of steps up to the room… but hey, the building is hundreds of years old. 😊.

Excellent location, loads of charm, fantastic breakfast. Paula is the consummate host, making sure that everything gets taken care of: arranging for taxis, making eggs at breakfast, pointing out the best gelato shop. The restaurant there is excellent! Those with mobility issues should know that there is no lift.

The room we were given was incredible. It had a secret old fashioned stone staircase which took us up to a balcony at the top with the most spectacular views!! Bed was comfortable and bathroom was great. Everything we needed.

It’s not that we didn’t like it, but for those of you less able, there were lots of stairs to this apartment. We’re both fit so it wasn’t a problem.
