Review Details:
My family stayed at Palazzo Rosadi in the very early summer. The location was ideal for touring in the Tuscany region. It is about 18 miles east of Arezzo, which is on the main north/south train line with frequent trains to Florence. The main north/south motorway also runs just west of Arezzo. We took the train to Arezzo and then rented two small cars (very large family) at the Avis facility right across the street from the train station.
The villa is lovely. It is very old but has had major renovation work done to put in bathrooms and new electric. Signor Rosadi, the owner, was delightful, helpful and a pleasure to work with. The villa has been in his family for almost two hundred years. It is well-maintained, spacious and quaint. It sits on the side of a hill and the views across into Umbria are fantastic.
We really liked the small village of Monterchi through which you have to travel going and coming from the villa. There is a very friendly osteria in town with excellent food. There are good cooking facilities in the villa and we cooked large, family style meals on a number of evenings. Arezzo has a very good supermarket about a block or two east of the train station. Good meat and cheese selection as well as fresh pasta. For produce, use the greengrocer along the road leading to Monterchi. Excellent produce, especially the tomatoes. Monterchi has a very friendly supermarket of its own but the selection is somewhat limited.
We had a great time. I heartily recommend Palazzo Rosadi if you are looking for a flexible, out-in-the-country experience.
