I can't say enough about how much my brother and I enjoyed our stay. The owner and his family were extremely kind and helpful. It was obvious that they wanted us to be comfortable, and they went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Be aware that they speak very little English, but there was ultimately no problem understanding everything we needed to know. There are no doubt more lavish places to stay, but Paradiso had everything we required, and more. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are great. There is no real sitting area, just a couch in the kitchen, but when you have the view that this place has, who wants to sit inside?

This was our second visit to Cortona and I fell in love with Santa Maria Novella when I first saw it. Having it practically in our front yard was incredible. The stone table under the grapevines was a wonderful place to relax and have a glass of wine.

It was easy to walk into town for lunch or dinner if we we not inclined to cook, and Cortona is a fascinating town to explore. Whether you like churches, museums, shopping, cafes, or just walking streets and alleys, you can find it here.

Other places that are within easy driving distance include Orvieto, Assisi, Sienna, Montepulciano, and San Gimignano. If you go to Florence, I strongly suggest you take a train. It was cheap and you don't have to worry about parking a car.
