The setting in principle was promising; near Cortona my preferred spot in Tuscany. Good rural surroundings, with no so ample space in the property available.This is not an ordinary stay hotel. Unless you are in the spa mood, your purpose maybe frustrated. I grant you we have not sampled the dinner at night, but quite frankly, we were not encouraged... More

This was my first trip to Cortona and I was very excited about it, especially because Villa Aurea looked like the ideal place to relax by the pool,use the spa and have a great time. This was unfortunately NOT the case. The Hotel is misrepresented in the photo's that I have seen of it. The entrance is quite lovely but... More

We stayed for the fourth year in a row at Villa Aurea. We stayed for 2 weeks together with two children. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed every night of the dinner prepared by a couple of lovely ladies. It was a four-course Tuscan dinner, a feast for your taste bud. We have at that time ate... More

Towels were frayed at edges-poor! Staff were friendly and helpful but we booked specifically to use the gym/ fitness centre but were told it was closed for renovation! Also the restaurant was closed but were recommended a great restaurant in Cortona. If you are an 'Under the Tuscan Sun ' Frances May book fan, the house is about 2 km... More

Our first disappointment was the musty/chemical smell in the hallway leading to room. Once in the room, the plastic furniture reminded me of a Walmart special. The windows had thick burgundy duck cloth on them hiding a view of construction materials and laundry hanging outside. The room was clean, but very dark and dreary. The shower was so small I... More

After such breathtaking experiencing we had dinner in the hotel at the terrace. Lovely! Next day, we enjoyed the... More

We stayed in this hotel during the second week of july 2011. The rooms were very clean and the service in the hotel as well of the restaurant was really very good. There is a nice swimming pool and garden. We enjoyed our holidays there very much.

We stayed 4 nights in June. Enjoyed the friendly service, great food (breakfast-buffet and dinner), nice swimmingpool in garden, large/clean room (Smeraldo) with separate livingroom. Need a car to visit the lovely cities of Cortona, Perugia, Siena, Pienza and Montepulciano.

I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful hotel for 3 nights in June 2011. The hotel is situated around the corner from the villa that was the film set for Under the Tuscan Sun with Diane Lane - well worth watching, after which you must visit Cortona and stay at Villa Aurea. I cannot compliment the staff enough,... More

We stayed here 1 night and found this hotel clean, the people friendly and it was well located just outsiide Cotona, IT in Tuscany. They had a "Special Dinner" that night that we will remember forever and we have traveled worldwide. Included costumes, authentic food served in chaise loungers- truly unique.
