Hotel I Portici

Arezzo


Lacking the amenities and comfort levels that guests can usually expect from a four-star hotel, this place occupies the 4th floor of a palazzo tucked beneath the elegant Vasari–designed porticoes of Via Roma, close to the railway station. Rooms are spacious and old-world in style and vibe (some would say 'dated'). Poor wi-fi connection.
