EXCELLENT Based on 50 reviews Posted on Google Miki LeibowitzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cassina Rossa in Forte Dei Marmi was a perfectly located villa to enjoy all things Forte & truly feel like a local! The communication with the owner and her representatives was so easy and they were VERY helpful with anything we needed during our stay. We so enjoyed waking up every morning and either taking our coffee intown while it was super quiet and watching everything wake up around us or on most mornings we rode the bikes that were supplied to us to the wonderful market that was literally down the street and picked up anything we needed fresh for the day. The kitchen was beautifully equipped and we made espresso most mornings and either sat outside on ground level patio or on the roof top overlooking the mountains. It was comfortable enough to have lunch and dinner at home a couple of times and fun setting a beautiful table with their pretty dishes, linens, etc. Having Bagno Vasco the very authentic classic beach club included was a dream and a big savings! Great food, easy location to bike or drive to and the position of our chairs, umbrella and sunbed right next to the sea was great. We were there for over 2 weeks and for a nominal amount he supplied us with their towels each day so we didn’t have to bring back and forth. The villa’s proximity to the center of town can’t be beat. It’s quiet enough to be a bit removed and beautiful to see the mountains whenever walking or riding home but so close to all the wonderful restaurants & very upscale & unique shops. Forte has such a unique vibe day and night especially on market days (Wednesday and Sunday). The markets are so full of clothing, housewares, etc that you’ll need to bring an extra bag or ship stuff home. People come from everywhere to take advantage of it. The location of Forte Dei Marmi is so central and close to other towns like Pietrasanta up in the hills which allows you to experience a completely different more typically Tuscan area within a short 15-20 min drive and it’s also very close to Lucca, Pisa & Carrara (where they get the marble) only 1 1/2 hours from Florence and Portofino if you are staying longer and want to take some wonderful daytrips. Forte Dei Marmi doesn’t have the dramatic coastline of the Amalfi coast but the beauty of looking one direction and seeing the beaches and looking the other and seeing the stunning mountains including Carrara is truly unique and offers its own special beauty. Another plus is that it is very flat so much easier than many Italian towns to walk and ride bikes which everyone does everywhere. It’s fun to see everyone (mostly Italians which we loved) fully dressed for dinner on bikes as it’s truly the chosen form of transportation for the young and old.

The apartment was great: comfortable, very well equipped and the terrace was fabulous with a seating area for meal times, comfortable loungers to relax on and down the steps, loungers beside the pool. All having magnificent views across the valleys. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Rob AherneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabulous stay in Villa Assisi - a big villa with private pool in a hotel resort complex. It was very peaceful, despite a very central location, and the pool was a fantastic luxury given the super-hot temperatures. We were able to use the hotel facilities, such as the tennis court and bicycles, as well, so it felt like the best of both worlds. We were well looked after by Bookings for You too. Highly recommended.Posted on Google evan sohunTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing place.

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.
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.
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.
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.
When browsing our Arezzo collection, you can easily filter for features tailored to your group’s size and travel style. Our properties are handpicked into curated holiday collections to match your requirements
To maximise your relaxation after a day of sightseeing, a private swimming pool is often a top priority. For an unmatched luxury holiday experience, Villa Arezzo features an incredible private infinity pool alongside a spectacular personal wellness area complete with a twin-floor jacuzzi, sauna, and Turkish bath.
We believe the entire family should enjoy the escape, including your four-legged friends. Many of our luxury holiday villas feature large gardens and gated perimeters. The magnificent Rosa Palace has over 60 acres of private parklands to explore, making it a spectacular safe haven for dogs.
For holidays where separate families want to share a getaway while keeping their own independent living spaces, we offer beautiful luxury holiday villas with multiple wings or separate private areas. Luxury villas like Villa Caccia offer expansive communal dining spaces and wide outdoor terraces, alongside private corners for peace and quiet.
If you are planning a milestone anniversary, a birthday gathering, or a romantic destination wedding, the Arezzo countryside provides a stunning backdrop. We offer grand traditional luxury villas situated directly on working olive and wine slopes, such as Villa Leopold, that provide ample space for large groups.
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.
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.
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.
We offer a complimentary concierge service to all our guests so that you can enjoy your holiday to the fullest. Whether you’re looking for a fully stocked fridge on arrival, a private chef, a cooking class or a transfer to get you from A to B, we can help. We’re big believers in the enjoyment that tours and experiences with a local guide can bring to a holiday. Thanks to trusted partners in Tuscany, we have plenty to recommend to make your villa holiday in Tuscany truly memorable.
