City hotel guide
Arezzo
Arezzo, the capital of the province in Tuscany, sits approximately 80 kilometers southeast of Florence at an elevation of 296 meters. With a population of nearly 97,000, it is renowned as the 'City of Gold' and a hub for high fashion. The city boasts a rich artistic heritage, having been home to Giorgio Vasari, Guido of Arezzo, and Guittone d'Arezzo, while Michelangelo spent time in its province. Key artistic treasures include Piero della Francesca's frescoes in the Basilica of San Francesco and Cimabue's crucifix in the Basilica of San Domenico. Visitors are also drawn to the historic Giostra del Saracino, a medieval chivalric game. For hotel travelers, Arezzo offers a compact yet culturally dense environment, blending Renaissance history with vibrant local traditions, making it an excellent base for exploring the Tuscan hinterland.

Dining
Octavin
Housed in two small dining rooms connected by an arch on the ground floor of an old palazzo, this restaurant is decorated with materials that give it a minimalist feel – a combination of stone, wood and iron in the tables, glass in the mirrors and bottles on display, and paper in the books arranged in small niches, just like the lounge of a private home. There are just 20 seats in this warm, intimate and unfussy restaurant, as well as a large counter separated by an arch at the entrance which precedes the recently restructured kitchen. Observation of his own region has shown owner-chef Luca Fr
WebsiteLe Chiavi d'Oro
Situated in Arezzo’s historic centre, this restaurant boasts an original, minimalist ambience with an elegant wood decor. The main focus here is on the cuisine, which is among the best not only in the city but also in the region. Skilful interpretations of traditional dishes, with a focus on Tuscany, where the gastronomic pleasure increases with each course.
WebsiteOsteria Grande
This restaurant overlooking the magnificent Piazza Grande and the Loggia Vasariana that takes up one whole side of the square was opened in the summer of 2022 by the enthusiastic Fatjon and Lorenzo (if you ask, they’ll happily share their knowledge of Arezzo’s history with you). The former is at the helm in the kitchen where he expresses his passion for cuisine in seasonal, contemporary-style dishes such as pigeon breast, leg and fillet (each cut is prepared in the appropriate way) served with sweet onion and cocoa nibs, while the latter oversees the wine selection and recommends suitable pair
WebsiteIl Falconiere
To get to this exclusive restaurant, you drive through an idyllic landscape of small lanes lined with dry-stone walls and fields belonging to the Baracchi farm estate, of which Il Falconiere and the magnificent hotel of the same name are a part. Many of the ingredients served here, such as wine and olive oil, are produced on the estate and the restaurant’s strong connection with its local landscapes is evident. Specialities such as Chianina beef, local garlic and pici pasta feature in dishes spiced with aromatic herbs and full of the strong flavours of Tuscany.
WebsiteDa Alighiero
Nestled amid the cobbled streets of Anghiari, one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, this rustic-style restaurant is hidden behind a wooden door with glass panes and curtains. With its brick-vaulted ceiling, old cupboards, art on the walls and bottles everywhere, Da Alighiero has a warm, authentic ambience. The cuisine celebrates Tuscany’s classic favourites (don’t miss the tripe served in a spicy red sauce), while enthusiastic host Gianni is on hand with recommendations for the perfect wine.
WebsiteOsteria del Borro
In the heart of Valdarno, Osteria del Borro is located within a thousand-hectare estate that houses an authentic medieval village. In the summer, you can dine on a terrace with breathtaking views of the countryside, while in the winter, you can settle into an elegant room with soft tones and an open kitchen. There are three tasting menus, built around local products and, most importantly, the estate's own garden.
