About

Hotel San Michele is located inside of one of the oldest buildings of Cortona, the ancient Baldelli Palace, strategically located right in the heart of town. The Baldelli Palace is a 15th-century mansion restored according to its original features and considered by various guides a true example of Cortona's architectural splendor. The Italian Ministry of Art, declared the building hosting Hotel San Michele part of the National Heritage. Just 328 feet away you will find the Sant'Agostino Conference Center. The hotel offers 40 unique and individually furnished rooms, each one featuring ancient furniture and equipped with modern services and comforts. The rooms have wooden beams and the windows offer views of the rooftops and the views over the valley. A buffet-style breakfast is available daily. Guests can also find an on-site bar. San Michele is the only hotel in the center of Cortona to have a private car park. If traveling by car enter the city gate in Via Guelfa, transit is allowed for hotel customers 24 hours a day.

    Pros +

    • Location clean good breakfast
    • The hotel is situated a short walk from the town center, and many good restaurants. In towns like this arriving by car can be a challenge. The hotel made it as painless as possible.
    • Close to the main square and heart of Cortona

    Cons -

    • Any critiques would pure nit picking
    • Getting the luggage up the extremely steep and narrow road
    • Expected to have three sleeping areas so that was a bit disappointing. We had to adjust, also the flight of stairs to go to the loft and bathroom location was a bit of a struggle for the three of us. We had to keep a light on which was a little hard to sleep with to assure if we had to go up the stairs it was safe. The top stair should be checked. It is a big higher than the other stairs.

    Gorgeous, historic property! Very clean and super comfortable. The staff was excellent: friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to stay again!

    I had no bad experience. Everything was perfect.

    This is how an old palazzo should be converted into a hotel. Stylish rooms, tasteful decor, attractive communal places throughout. Attentive and pleasant staff. Our room had a few steep steps to go up to but the view from the balcony was worth it.

    10HelenaPosted on: 7-30-2025

    The location is good, stunning view from the window. Lots of good restaurants, nice shopping street and we also did a hike to a beautiful Castel nearby. The staff was very nice, plus a tasty breakfast. They also let us keep our luggage until we had to leave

    10ToniPosted on: 7-9-2025

    The location is around the corner from a main square. Excellent service from staff. We stayed an extra day. Good breakfast and large hotel room with wardrobes. And an elevator for you over packers. Have hotel arrange a taxi to pick u up at the train station before you arrive-- a great recommendation I read in another review. Working air conditioning!

    I would have loved a bathtub! Bathroom was very spacious.

    10MagdaPosted on: 5-30-2025

    Extraordinary friendly staff and very helpful!! Our room was quiet and just perfect for us after a very long journey;) The breakfast was also delicious and a wide variety of foods was offered.

    Perfect location! Great rooms and great decorations. If you rented a car and want to stay in Cortona, this is the place!

    9DianePosted on: 5-26-2025

    Wonderfully situated. Beautiful building. Extremely comfortable. Sumptuous breakfast. Staff knowledge and nice. Fantastic, historic, romantic Eutruscan hill town in Tuscany. Lovely

    Had difficulty securing a taxi on a Sunday morning. Was told I should have made arrangements the day before. Oh well. I walked instead.

    8PeterPosted on: 5-24-2025

    Staff were very helpful.

    No taxis at the train station when we arrived. Had to call hotel to arrange for one.

    9ChungPosted on: 5-14-2025

    Beautiful room, very close to restaurants and bars.

    No place to sit and enjoy the views, cortona has beautiful ones.

    Location.

    Don’t expect valet parking… It was never available. The location was great, however, it was extremely noisy.

    9KingPosted on: 11-2-2024

    The reception staff were so friendly helpful and knowledgeable. They helped with information and storing my bag and showing me where to go. The breakfast staff warm and friendly and happy. The room was fabulously quirky in shape and nicely decorated in keeping with the history of this building. I wouldn’t hesitate booking again and again.

    The bed was firmer than I like but that’s my personal preference.

    9ChiricoPosted on: 10-8-2024

    The staff were friendly and helpful. Good old fashion service like escorting me to my room and parking garage. Good breakfast

    8MichellePosted on: 9-27-2024

    9AmyPosted on: 9-22-2024

    Nice rooms with a nice view. We were only there one night but it was a good room that was conveniently located near the restaurants and shops. The breakfast was good, with a few protein options, (hard boiled eggs, ham).
