Casa Volpi

Arezzo


This 18th-century manor, 4km from the cobbled streets of central Arezzo, has 15 comfortable but worn rooms; those deemed superior have views towards Arezzo. Family run, its main draw is the good on-site restaurant (meals €34), which expands its seating into the pretty garden in summer. Sadly, breakfast is disappointing.
