Looking for recommendation for hotel in Cortona.
Carol,
You posted in a area that is designed for people who have been some place to then post the review of that place. You might get a better response if you posted in the Italy section of Destination Q & A.
however, for starters, try Venere.com, booking.com and trip advisor.
Pick the dates you want to be there, check reviews on Trip Advisor, find some that spark your interest, then come back to Destination Q & A and ask if anyone here has any experience.

If a convent interests you there is a lg convent steps away from tourist info for Cortona. We stayed there some yrs back . Excellent quiet with secured parking. It is Spartan and very clean, cool in summer, walking distance to all in cortona and a bargain.
Ck with TI of cortona for details. Little English if any spoken in convent..
Would stay there again in the future for sure.
