Fortebraccio

The location is amazing. You are right at the footstep of the historical centre of Montone with everything (including two Michelin star restaurants, pharmacy, various cafes, fruit and veg shop, post office, local piazzas etc.) within a few minutes walk. The property offers a spa experience with a steam room and a traditional sauna, which my husband and I enjoyed. There is a big pool with a lovely terrace overlooking the valley and magnificent mountains in the distance. There is an electric vehicle charging station in the parking lot (which was great for us since we chose to rent an electric car). The coffee and the apericena at the hotel bar were excellent too! But the most amazing thing about Hotel Fortebraccio is their staff. We could not thank them enough for being so kind, generous and accommodating. On the night of our scheduled arrival to Montone, my husband and I were stranded in the nearby town in the dark and in the rain because our newly rented vehicle ran out of charge and the local autostrada’s exit to Montone was closed. A local shop owner called the hotel for us and they sent Leonardo to pick us up. Not only did Leonardo save us and safely bring us to the hotel that night, he cycled to our car the next morning and picked it up and charged it. That’s the service that goes above and beyond any expectations! We feel like the hotel staff became our friends over the week and a half we spent there. Highly recommend Hotel Fortebraccio!

We had a lovely stay at Hotel Fortebraccio. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff welcoming, and the views from the terrace were simply beautiful. The pool was a highlight for our family, and the location was perfect—peaceful, yet just a short walk to the heart of Montone. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay in Umbria.

The hotel is in a stunningly beautiful location. Our room had a balcony over-looking the surrounding hills and the swimming pool looks out on them too. The pool is a good size so you can have a proper swim. The hotel is just outside the walls of the pretty mountain village of Montone; the height means there is a nice breeze even during very hot weather. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good.

This was my third stay at Hotel Fortebraccio in Montone, and I had asked for a room with a view - as I know this beautiful little village very well and it is always a joy to return, even in the winter. I was given a lovely corner room on the second floor with views down to the valley and over some of the houses in the village. The room was scrupulously clean and well-appointed, as was the bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were crisp and clean. Heating very good. The staff - on both my arrival and departure - were very friendly and kind. I can speak Italian; however, they were happy to speak English to me. I cannot write about the breakfast or meals because I have never eaten there; I like to walk up to the village and have a cappuccino and cornetto in Caffe Aries in the square. However, other reviews give an account of the bar and restaurant. I will, happily, return.

Gorgeous location, spectacular views over the verdant Umbrian hills. We love the village of Montone, excellent restaurants - we would recommend them all (Erba Luna, Osteria Antico, Verziere and more expensive but worth it: Locanda/Tipico). Best if you have a car but lots of hiking trails if you don’t. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is continental style- bread / pastries, cheese and ham, boiled eggs and cereals. Rooms are comfortable, great night sleep on the mattresses and quiet. We had a premium room with a large terrace which we would recommend.
