Arezzo is a quintessentially Tuscan city, set on a hilltop in the east of Tuscany against the backdrop of rolling valleys carpeted by cypress trees and vines. The city is renowned for its prosperous jewellery industry, but also myriad of beautiful churches, historic centre and friendly locals – who emerge in the later afternoon for the ritual of passeggiata (a stroll). Life slows down in this Tuscan town, and a villa holiday in Arezzo promises the chance to relax and unwind in a truly beautiful, yet also exciting and well-equipped, setting. Surrounding the town are rolling valleys of the Arno and Tevere rivers, with their lush forests, olive groves, hilltop parishes and monastic settlements.

Arezzo is a fantastic place for a villa holiday in Tuscany, offering the chance to be near a lively and historic town but also the rolling Tuscan countryside. With a rich Etruscan and Roman history, the town itself is full of attractions, from its churches and museums to the sloping Piazza Grande. The sloping Piazza Grande is one of the most beautiful piazzas in Tuscany, fringed by grand Romanesque buildings and playing host to a fabulous antique market that tumbles across the square each month. Climb to the top of the old town to see the hilltop Arezzo Cathedral with its 15th-century fresco of Mary Magdelene and the Basilica di San Francesco chapel. Dining in Arezzo is also easy, and there are plenty of fantastic Italian eateries to choose from – many in the shadows of the Fortezza Medicea.

Below the historic centre, you'll also find a more modern Arezzo with great shops and facilities. Hire a villa in Arezzo with a private pool for the ultimate luxury villa experience, allowing you to enjoy relaxing days in your holiday home soaking up the fiery Italian sun.
