9.2/10 on 2008 reviews
The Hotel Della Fortezza offers a unique accommodation experience, as it is housed within the historic Fortezza Orsini, the imposing Renaissance fortress that dominates the village of Sorano, known as the 'Matera of Tuscany'. The hotel combines the austere charm of medieval military architecture with sober and evocative hospitality, ensuring one of the most panoramic and historically significant locations in the Tuscan Maremma.
The simple and welcoming rooms are immersed in the atmosphere of the past. Characterized by typical rustic Tuscan elements, such as exposed wooden beams, stone walls, and essential furnishings, they offer a peaceful retreat. Many rooms and communal areas enjoy a spectacular view of the medieval village of Sorano and the surrounding valleys, carved into the tuff rock.
The hotel's restaurant offers cuisine linked to the culinary tradition of Maremma and Tuscany. Guests can savor typical local dishes, made with local ingredients, in a highly evocative historical setting. The Fortress is also an ideal starting point for tasting the area's wines.
Staying at the Hotel Della Fortezza means being in direct contact with history. The structure allows easy exploration of the walkways of the Fortezza Orsini, which also houses the Museum of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The location is strategic for visiting the other 'Tuff Cities': Pitigliano and Sovana, and for venturing into the mysterious Etruscan Vie Cave (sunken roads).

His Opinion: Pousada extremamente simpática, quarto muito confortável, com pessoal muito gentil e solícito, em uma localização privilegiada, com uma linda vista da cidade de Sorano. Café da manhã delicioso, o melhor que encontramos em nossa viagem de vinte dias, incluindo alguns hotéis quatro estrelas. O acesso é um pouquinho complicado, por estar dentro de um castelo/fortaleza. Mas isso faz parte do charme do local. É facílimo achar vaga no estacionamento público/gratuito perto da entrada da fortaleza, embora um pouco distante da entrada da pousada propriamente.
