About us

Genuine hospitality, made of people.

Fortitudo Appartamenti was born from the wish to offer every guest a stay that combines comfort, elegance and human warmth.

Our story

A project born from a passion for hospitality

We are a family from Cremona with a great passion for travel and for hospitality.

After years of experience in the field we decided to create Fortitudo Appartamenti: a place to feel truly at home, even far from home.

Every detail of our apartments is designed to offer wellbeing, independence and sincere hospitality.

Why Fortitudo

“Fortitudo” opens the motto on the coat of arms of the City of Cremona, and recalls the medieval legend of Giovanni Baldesio, hero of the city.

We chose this name for a property that stands a few steps from the Town Hall, the Duomo, the Torrazzo and the Battistero: an area rich in history and artistic beauty.

Fortitudo Mea In Brachio — my strength lies in my arm.
