Luxury Holiday Villas in Arezzo

Where to stay on a luxury holiday in Arezzo

The province of Arezzo is incredibly diverse. It has everything from vibrant historic sites to peaceful, secluded valleys. Finding your ideal luxury holiday villa in Arezzo depends on how you want to spend your days under the Tuscan sun.

Arezzo historic outskirts

Staying just outside the ancient city walls puts you minutes from Arezzo’s famous historic district, making it a fantastic base for a more cultural holiday. Here, you can easily walk the cobblestone streets to visit the Basilica of San Francesco to marvel at Piero della Francesca’s frescoes.

Timing your luxury holiday for the first Sunday of the month allows you to experience Italy’s largest monthly antiques fair, which transforms the magnificent Piazza Grande into an absolute haven for collectors.

The Valdichiana and Cortona

To the south of Arezzo lies the beautiful Valdichiana valley, leading towards the world-renowned hilltop town of Cortona. Choosing a luxury holiday villa in this breathtaking valley offers a dramatic countryside backdrop defined by rolling olive groves and fields of vibrant sunflowers.

It is an exceptional setting for a picturesque luxury Tuscan holiday, keeping you within easy reach of Cortona’s historic palazzos, boutique shops, and sophisticated wine bars.

Valtiberina and Monterchi

If you are looking for tranquillity during your luxury holiday in Arezzo, head east into the Valtiberina. Dotted with gems such as Anghiari and Monterchi, this region is ideal for discerning travellers seeking a secluded luxury holiday.

It has a bit of a slower pace of life, so you can escape the crowds, hike through pristine nature reserves, and indulge in authentic, rustic Tuscan cuisine at family-run Italian eateries.

Things to do on a luxury holiday in Arezzo

Thanks to its importance during the Renaissance period, visitors can enjoy the opportunity to admire a number of important artistic sites while on a luxury holiday in Arezzo.

Arezzo is famous for the frescoes by Piero della Francesca, which can be found in the Basilica of San Francesco. Incidentally, there is an additional fresco by Piero della Francesca in Arezzo’s Duomo. Also of note is the crucifix by Cimabue in the Basilica of San Domenico.

The other important artist whose works can be found in Arezzo is Giorgio Vasari. Vasari was actually born and lived in Arezzo. Whilst his most famous works are to be found in Florence – the frescoed interior of the Duomo and the Vasari Corridor – there is plenty of evidence of his work in Arezzo today.

Not least is the beautiful loggia designed by Vasari, which is situated on the northern side of the main Piazza Grande. You can also see some of his work at the Casa di Giorgio Vasari, a house that Vasari rebuilt in 1547 and which he decorated with elaborate schemes inspired by both mythology and personal experience. Vasari was not just a painter and architect, though. He was also a writer and poet, and the author of Lives of the Most Excellent Italian Architects, Painters and Sculptors.

Frequently asked questions about booking a luxury holiday in Arezzo

When is the best time of month to visit Arezzo?

It depends on what you’re looking to get from your holiday in your Arezzo villa. We particularly like the period from April to June and from September to October. This is when the countryside is at its most spectacular thanks to the wildflowers in the Spring and the grape and olive harvests in the Autumn. July and August are hot, but don’t let the heat put you off. Spend lazy days by the pool and enjoy your sightseeing first thing in the morning or into the evening when temperatures have cooled. Visitors often overlook the winter months, but November through to March can be great if you’re looking for a slower, more authentic Italian villa experience. Visit over the festive season to make the most of the wonderful Christmas market in Arezzo’s Piazza Grande.

Are your luxury holiday villas in Arezzo suitable for day trips to other parts of Tuscany?

Arezzo is a great base to explore not just this particular region of Tuscany but also further afield. It is only an hour’s drive (or 30 minutes by train) from Arezzo to Florence, and Siena is also easily reached within 80 minutes by car. Just an hour from the border with Umbria, an Arezzo villa holiday also lets you discover a second region of Italy during your Italian holiday. Lake Trasimeno is just an hour from Arezzo, and Perugia is just 10 minutes farther on from there.
