Arezzo, Italy
Tuscany Region
This was the only Bed and Breakfast we stayed in during our trip to Italy.
We found this on Booking.com the day of our stay as we needed a place to stay on our way from Venice to Rome and left this leg of the journey unplanned until the date of arrival. Arezzo seemed like a good half way stopping point suggested by a family member and it made a great choice, we loved the town and would visit again. The center of town is charming although this Bed and Breakfast is about 10-15 minutes from the City Center.
Print out directions and clarify before you arrive, another tricky spot to find.
The 300 year old home is a family home run by a husband and wife team. The rooms are clean, linens and bed the most comfortable of our entire trip, breakfast was lovely with picturesque views of the garden and countryside.
There is a hot tub advertised but it was not hot nor would it get hot as we learned it takes over an hour to raise 1 degree of temperature per hour. If it was hot my husband would have taken a quick soak upon arrival, so slight bummer there because the views from the terrace were lovely. The nice owners made up for it slight hot tub disappointment by giving us directions and suggestions for dining in town. We ended up enjoying our evening in town.
The home itself is sturdy and charming, loved the rustic kitchen with wood burning stove. Appreciated the fine mesh screens on bedroom windows to keep mosquitoes out when windows were opened at night, the only place we stayed with screens.
We would stay again. read more
