We were originally going to stay in palazzo, a country estate owned by the same family as Dolce Maria but upon arrival, we realized that the weather was going to be poor and we would prefer to stay in the center of Cortona. We called Paula (the owner) to cancel our accommodation. She told us that she had an alternative... More

This was an amazing place with friendly, helpful staff, fabulous food and amazing accommodations. This was our favorite Tuscan experience. The location is in the center of town, very convenient. The family became ours and we miss them. They offer cooking classes that seems amazing.

We loved our stay in the Finestre room of this bed and breakfast. From the moment we arrived we were treated like we were family. Nonna who speaks no English did her best and got us through check in, moving our car, and when to come back for dinner. At dinner we met her grandson who works in the restaurant... More

Dolce Maria exceeded my expectations. When planning our trip, one girlfriend was persistent about booking this B&B, and I'm so glad we did. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and nicely decorated. The food was wonderful, and I had two of my best meals here. We did participate in a cooking class which was so much fun, informative and the highlight... More

After booking our one night stay at Dolce Maria we received a gushing email from Paola saying she was looking forward to welcoming us and that if there was anything she could do in the meantime not to hesitate to get in touch. I swiftly emailed her back to ask if we could have a travel cot in our room... More

We stayed for 2 nights at this beautiful, rustic, characteristic hotel and I would have loved to extend the stay. The location is great within the walls of Cortona. The rooms are nicely decorated with unique chandeliers. The bathrooms are very modern. The B&B is very clean. The food at the restaurant is delicious and the service was great. The... More

The place is full of history, yet with all modern facilities, including wi-fi which is essential these days. The location is ideal for anyone spending time in the city and is not to far from the railway station at Carnucia. The hostess makes you feel easily at home.

We only stayed for two nights, but we thought long and hard about asking to stay for the rest of our trip. Our room was beautiful, large, with high ceilings, a chandelier and a secret passageway to a tower room! I actually think that from now on I will be comparing every stay to this one. We were tired from... More

We stayed at Dolce Maria for 6 nights in October, 2012. It was the perfect location for a visit to the hill towns. Paola was the perfect hostess. We loved our room, and the breakfasts. All of the staff were very helpful. We enjoyed our meals at the connected restaurant, also. Our room was large, had a modern bathroom, a... More

Dolce Maria B-n-B is a 15th century home located in the hill town of Cortona and is very close to the town center. It's run by Paola, who is truly sweet, warm and wonderful! My room was very large, nicely decorated and had an updated private bath. I also was fortunate enough to get the room with the very cool... More
