Stayed a single night in this beautiful hotel as a stop on the road.
The staff is very kind and helpful, the rooms are good standard, the view beautiful. It is located on the hill with a very nice view down towards Arezzo.
The restaurant is great, serving local specialities in the dining room housed in the wine cellar. Good value for money, I will definitely return to this hotel.

We stayed here for 3 nights bringing my mother in law. The location is stunning and we found it easily with satnav. The staff are the most helpful I have ever come across, simply nothing is too much trouble, from ordering flowers to calling old friends in Arezzo for us, printing maps etc. We would definitely go back, but might book a superior room which I suspect are not quite so dark being at the front with bigger windows. The courtyard dining room is delightful, dinner is excellent and beautifully served. A real gem of a hotel.

Although we arrived by train the Hotel was happy to provide a free shuttle service from the station which was approx 20mins away. On arriving at the hotel we were taken back by the breath taking views and tranquil atmosphere. It was nice meeting Valentina she was very friendly and helpful. Rooms had traditional features as well as being modernly equipped. In the evening the hotel turned into what should be a michelin starred restaurant which was also open to the public. Both the food and service during our evening meals was incredible and definitely unexpected. They had serving wine down to an art with an extensive cellar full of wine we almost felt too unexperienced to drink. I would advise anyone staying for 3 or more days to rent a car as at sometimes we found we were trapped in paradise in a land where there were no prices with everything being charged to our room. Despite our lack of car Valentina was happy to drive us into Arezzo centre one afternoon and we were collected later that evening all free of charge. Definitely a place to visit!!! Good luck with your future Valentina hope you get to the UK soon. Al

Firstly, I could not believe that 2 people rated the Badia as "poor". Astounding, but yes it's hard to find, yes it's up a winding narrow country road and unless you ask someone to do it for you, yes you will carry your own bag...and the rooms are dark because it's an ancient monastery with thick walls and small windows to keep out the 40 degree summer heat. It's Tuscany!

This place is wonderful. Warm, funny, friendly staff who cannt do enough for you, a beautiful swimming pool surrounded by immaculate gardens. There's a tranquility to the place that my boyfriend and I simply didn't want to leave.

I travel a lot, but this will stick in my memory.

It's fun to stay in Arezzo for at least one night, but once you've done the hustle and bustle, you'll be glad of the retreat ~1.5km out of town. We stayed at Graziella Patio next to San Franceso in Arezzo. Good location and nice room but nothing else. The Badia has the pool, gardens, restaurant, view across Tuscany....
