“Beautiful stay in a lovely "small castle"”
+The small castle was very lovely and so convenient to everything in Cortona. A few minutes walk to the main Piazza and very close to many cafes and restaurants. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed. Very ample room for 3 people and toilet on the main floor was definitely a plus. Quiet street yet close to all the wonderful things in Cortona.
−The only thing, and possibly a personal preference, but the beds are extremely hard. a soft mattress topper would work wonders for the comfort level. This is the only reason we would probably not stay here again, but again a personal preference as sleeping was not very good for us. Everything else, including the hostess was amazing.

“We loved our stay in Cortana for a week and the small castle was a perfect homebase.”
+The house is an amazing renovation of an ancient property. All modern conveniences. The location was perfect for getting around the town. The owner was immediately available when we arrived and very helpful in getting us oriented to the town and went above and beyond expectations.

“Unique place in Cortona, great stay, and the best host. Many thanks to Betty Fernanda.”
+Great location. Easy free parking nearby. Very well equipped with everything you need for cooking. Betti is very welcoming, met us in the lot, showed us the property and took us on a walk round the village pointing out restaurants, grocery, and parking options. She answered all our questions and made great suggestion for local activities.
−It was cool inside but that was taken care of with heating and a lovely fireplace for when we were there.

“Wonderful stay at The Small Castle!”
+Wonderful stay at The Small Castle! Fernanda was an amazing host and even gave us a tour of the town. Her restaurant recommendations were excellent. The three-floor apartment worked perfectly for our group of 3-4 people, and the upstairs room was great for kids. Very close to parking, though there’s a short walk on cobblestone streets with luggage. The apartment was impeccably clean, and while the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty, I was still able to work. Highly recommend!

“We would gladly come back. The best host we've ever had!”
+It was a totally charming home.
−There was a washing machine but no dryer or outdoor space. Fortunately, there is a laundromat a short distance away so it wasn't a major problem.
