Graziella Patio Hotel

The hotel is in a fabulous position in the historic part of Arezzo and the entrance is lovely and a friendly greeting welcomes you. Otherwise, we were terribly disappointed. We paid a lot of money to be put in the basement and asked to pay extra for breakfast which is in a dining room, in the basement with no windows. So we had breakfast at a fabulous cafe/restaurant called RabbitRabbit down the road. The decor is extremely odd. Overall, we wouldn’t recommend it.

Nice hotel, very central, please note that the breakfast is only included for one person, for 2 persons it doesn't include breakfast (costs 15 euros each person, too expesive for what I saw available there). But I recommend to go the the nearast place Bar Stefano, I had there a very good breakfast for few euros. Amazing pastries. Back to the hotel, please note it can be very noisy and especiialy on weekend. I was very tired and I could sleep without a problem, but who is sensitive please take that in consideration. Please also note that the rooms have 2 floors and you have to go back and forth up and down to get things.

This hotel was extremely uncomfortable. The bed was like a cement block, making it literally impossible to sleep. No robes, no full-length mirror. Our adapter to charge our phones kept slipping out of the sockets so we were left with too little charge for the day. Breakfast was not only meager, but very strange. You have to order the night before and then the lady brings it to you, but be aware if you have a driver coming. It happens in slow stages.

Wonderful hotel in a great location. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Our room was very comfortable and much more spacious than we expected. The only reason I only gave the room a 4 is that they are not (at least ours wasn't) sound proof. We were in an inner court yard so there was no noise from the outside, but we were next to a room with a young, loud child in it who woke up early. It was like we were in the room with her.

Central hotel.||‘Valet’ type car parking for €20 per day which is definitely worth it having driven around to find the hotel. It’s worth noting that as the hotel is ‘in’ the ‘no car drive zone’ - as you are staying, you can drive in all of these areas; the number plate is then reported so that you won’t receive a fine…||GOOD|Character Deluxe Double room with amazing air con - effective and quiet.|Big window in main bedroom and bathroom letting in lots of light.||Mini fridge in room which we kept some of our stuff in.|Several places to get breakfast just outside the door as hotel was very centrally located but I was getting fed up of pastries!|Requested quiet room and it was, despite lots of bars around.||NOT QUITE SO GOOD…|Nowhere to put luggage or open your suitcase - just one very tiny luggage rack which you couldn’t even open a normal size suitcase. |No seating area - room quite compact.|It’s called the ‘ Graziella Patio Hotel’ but there is no patio or terrace to sit. ||SUMMARY|We loved Arezzo; seemed a good mixture of tourists and locals, architecture, shops, bars and restaurants.

Graziella Patio Hotel was all we hoped for when looking for a hotel in Arezzo to use for our home base while touring Tuscany. It's situated in a very nice 16th century building in the heart of the medieval town center. Its central location is a short walk to the train station and close to many lovely restaurants, an upscale shopping area and churches in a cobblestone mostly pedestrian area. Parking can be tricky so we opted to use the 20 euro/day valet parking and it was worth every penny. When you choose to stay in a medieval town you should realize that streets are narrow with many pedestrian areas and driving is difficult, so you work with it as best you can and not complain about it. Our rooms were comfortable and charmingly decorated. We did have room 105 and it sometimes was a little noisy from the tenants upstairs but it was nothing we couldn't deal with. Everything was immaculately clean. The sheets seemed to be changed almost daily and the fresh, white towels were large and absorbent and also changed every day, although it was not necessary. Toiletries were nice and there was a bowl of fresh fruit in the room for us. Sally made us feel very welcome every morning as she took our breakfast drink orders. Breakfasts offered an assortment of yogurt, breads, WONDERFUL plain cakes and tarts, muffins, cold cuts, cereal and fruit. It was nicely presented and everyone should find something to suit their palates. Our hosts, Cinzia, Antonella and Cinzia II were pleasant and very helpful answering our questions and fulfilling our requests. I highly recommend Graziella Patio Hotel when visiting Tuscany!

Graziella Patio Hotel has a great location in the middle of all Arrezzo’s old town, sights, restaurants and shopping streets. Everything is nearby. Standard room for two was very little and also the bed was smallish so if you are planning to stay more than one night I would suggest a bigger room unless you are travelling alone. Bathroom was bigger and slippers were nice surprise. There were also fresh fruit in the room as a welcoming gift. And if you want to make coffee, there are coffee making facilities outside the room in the hall. ||||This hotel has an elevator which is great. During our week in Tuscany we stayed mostly in old palazzos and this one was the only one with elevator. Our room did not have any kind of view (or did to down stairs to reception lobby), but since we needed the room only for one night's sleep, we did not mind. ||||They had wi-fi but we did not manage to make it work in our mobile phones or our own computer (iPhone XS and Huawei and Mac Book Pro). Also our own internet connection was little bit weak in our room. But there was a little Mac Book in the room, so maybe the wi-fi works better with that (We did not try that). TV signal was also missing. ||||Breakfast was quite good with bread, croissants, cold cuts, different cheeses (also mozzarella) fresh berries and fruit, yogurt, granola, and of course sweet pastry in Italian style. They also had lot of different kinds of juices, coffee and tea. ||||They do not have free parking, but the nearest parking lot was about 300 meters from the hotel (20 euros per 24 hours, five euros discount for hotel’s guest). And you can drive to the hotel to drop off your luggage. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Centrally located with 5-15 minute walk to most major attractions. Shopping and many restaurants nearby. Main square a five minute walk. Rooms are decorated in funky colours- if you don’t like bright and vibrant pick a different spot. We got upgraded to junior suite and it was great - comfortable bed, separate sitting area, modern bathroom. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful.
