Hotel Fortebraccio


The Hotel

Hotel Fortebraccio is a balcony over the Perugia Mountains in the heart of Italy a few steps away from the Montones historic centre. Montone is a beautiful stone village. The hotel is named after the most popular captain of the beginning of the XVth century, a soldier called Braccio of the Fontebracci family, who turned Ubria into a small state in the centre of Italy.
The building has a Tuscan air, covered in orange mortar. The interiors are modern and functional, with well-equipped rooms and an Italian flagship restaurant, as it is a temple for traditional cooking. No fear of calories because there is an outdoor swimming pool and a relax centre with a whirlpool, sauna and steam room at the hotel….We like this peaceful hotel which invites us to stay in, or to tour Perugia and the neighbouring Tuscany. You choose.
