On Top of the Hill
Think Captain Corelli's Mandolin or Under the Tuscan Sun; both come to mind when describing our experience in Cortona. The narrow streets and the piazzas are like movie sets.

San Gimignano to Cortona
After our complimentary breakfast on the terrace, Cam and I wandered around the town of San Gimignano. It was probably 9am.

The tomato sauce in the pasta was excellent; the house wine not so good. In the evening we went to Rosetta's and Giovanni's to say goodbye -- which cannot be done without having wine.

“ An Evening at the Hotel San Michele ”
Reviewed Jul 5, 2012
The service was very good and location was in the heart of Cortona. Internet was available but not included which was somewhat annoying. Accomodations were very comfortable and clean.
