The villa was absolutely amazing!!! We arrived and happened to have the whole place to ourselves. We spent two weeks in Italy at a variety of different locations and this was the only place where the pictures on the booking site actually matched the property! What you see is what you get and much more. The outfitting of the units is spectacular with great comfy decor and modern upgrades. The grounds are gorgeous and well kept. You'll want to axe any day plans you've prearranged just to sit poolside and relax with the amazing view. Ms. Lucia is in charge (along with her adorable puppy) and takes very good care of you from beginning to end. The closest supermaket is about 10-15 minutes away in town so you can stock up on snacks, wine, whatever. The town Loro Ciuffenna is super cute and also about 10 minutes away. It's easy to walk around and of course there are a few restaurants you can have lunch and/or dinner at. The next major town for great food is Montevarchi about 20-30 minutes away.
We rented a car as this is the easiest way to get around. Driving isn't difficult at all as long as you have a navigation system and the villa is fairly close to the main highway (A1). My husband and I fully plan on staying here again...hopefully in the near future!

There are no words to describe how wonderful our two week vacation at Palazzo Rosadi was during the month of August 2013. Our party consisted of three adults and four young children (2 - 9 years old). We arrived with high expectations, which were greatly exceeded. The villa and the surrounding property are even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. The views are breathtaking and never seize to amaze you from the moment you open the shutters in the morning to the time you enjoy a meal and glass of wine al fresco in the evening. The interior is spacious, comfortable and cool, even without air-conditioning in the middle of August. The garden is beautifully maintained and an absolute delight. The pool is perfect to relax after a day of sightseeing or to spend a lazy day “at home”.
The villa is located in the tiny Località Ripoli, approximately a 5 min drive from the quaint town of Monterchi. Restaurants and grocery stores are easily accessible in Monterchi by car. Beautiful medieval towns such as Anghiara and Citerna are about 20 min drives and worth every minute. Arezzo is less than 30 min by car, Cortona less than 45 min, Siena and Florence about one hour. The location, right on the border of Umbria is the perfect place to experience Eastern Tuscany at its fullest.
While this scenario would provide a fabulous vacation in and of itself, the personal attention and hospitality provided by the Rosadi family make the experience unforgettable. Rosado, who manages the property, speaks impeccable English and is the perfect host and guide. His parents, who lovingly help to take care of their property, are the most wonderful people you’ll ever meet. The family takes care of the property discretely and allows their guests as much privacy as they desire. They are always available when needed and extremely helpful with any needs that may arise.
If this review seems exaggerated, I can assure you it is not. It is not possible to use too many superlatives to describe our experience at Palazzo Rosadi. If you are looking for an unforgettable Tuscan vacation, you will not be disappointed.
