Piccolo Hotel

Piccolo Hotel in Cortona is a small, central B&B set inside a restored historic palace, aimed at travelers who want character and convenience over big-hotel extras.

Historic atmosphere: The property is housed in the ancient Baldelli Palace, with restoration that preserves original architectural features and a distinctly old-town feel.

Walk-everywhere location: Staying at Piccolo Hotel puts you about 150 meters from Piazza della Repubblica and Via Nazionale, making it easy to dip in and out of Cortona’s cafés, shops, and evening passeggiata without planning transport.

Comfort-focused rooms: Rooms are individually styled with antique furniture, while still covering modern basics like air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, satellite TV, a minibar, and an in-room safe.

Breakfast experience: A buffet breakfast is offered, with a mix of Italian and broader continental-style options, served in a historic room that adds to the sense of place.

Helpful services: On-site conveniences include an elevator plus porterage and concierge support, and the hotel also arranges add-on experiences such as massages, transfers, excursions, cooking classes, wine tours, and bicycle rental.

Parking trade-offs: While it’s reachable by car, guarded parking is limited and paid, so it may require advance planning; otherwise you’ll likely use nearby public parking.

Old-town practicalities: Being in the historic center can mean tighter access and more steps outside the property, which may not suit guests who prefer easy, modern layouts.
