Our group of 5 couples used Palazzo Rosadi for our recent week in Tuscany. Difficult to add more glowing words about this property than have already been posted on this website. If you have a fairly large group of people traveling together, this villa is an excellent choice. The owner, Rosadi and his parents could NOT have been more gracious and helpful during our stay at this historic villa. The location is out in the beautiful Tuscan countryside near the Umbrian border. The charming village of Monterchi is only 5-7 minutes away, where you will find a small supermarket that has everything you might need for your stay at the villa. The kitchen is equipped nicely with everything you need to prepare lovely dinners.
We spent one day in Florence and found taking the train from Arrezo (20 minutes away from the villa) to Florence (Firenze)was an excellent alternative to driving, since parking and driving in Florence is extremely difficult. The 30 minute trip was very relaxing and delivers you to the Santa Maria Novella station, a 5-10 minute walk to the historic section. A vehicle is a must if you are staying at this villa. If Mr. Rosado offers to take you on a visit to a nearby Monastery outside of Sansepulcro,do it. This small mountain-top place has been there since 1132 A.D. and was frequented by St. Francis of Assisi during his travels. Our group felt it was one of the highlights of the 2 weeks we were in Italy. Also, pay heed to Mr. Rosadi's recommendation for local restaurants... he even called and made reservations at La Pieve Vecchio, outside Monterchi, where we dined at on two occasions. Also, travel the short trip to Anghiari and dine at Da Alghiero, another worthwhile recommendation by Mr. Rosadi. The owners, Gianni and Sylvia will treat you like family, once they find out you know Rosadi.
Overall, Palazzo Rosadi exceeded our expectations on many levels. First time in Tuscany and Italy, but do hope it won't be our last......

Good facilities, well equipped kitchens and great pool and spa. We loved having the table tennis table as well. The views and character of the house are wonderful. WE took advantage of the catered dinner one evening and it was fantastic and really good value. The caretakers were helpful and prompt in fixing any issues. The villa is great for a rest - there are no real shops of cafes within walking distance, but if you are prepared for this, it is great. The nearest town is about a ten minute drive. The only down side for some was very patchy internet access - probably due to the thick stone walls and location.

We stayed 12 people at the Villa in Mid October to celebrate my mother's birthday. We could not have been happier with the villa! It is nicely furnished, all the rooms are very nice, the dining room/living room is very spacious and there is even an extra smaller living room, which we used for the kids to play. The kitchen is well equipped even though it is on the small side. The pool area is beautiful and well kept. The surroundings are beautiful. We had a chef that came to cook for us one night. I can really recommend that! The food was absolutely excellent, even though there was a bit too much of it, and the chef and his assistant were very pleasant.

I can also highly recommend a place called Fattoria Poggio Alloro. This is a farm / B&B / restaurant, with absolutely lovely people growing organic wine, olives and saffron and serving amazing food together with their excellent wines with a view that is absolutely magic. You cannot be in the area without visiting this place! Also a visit to the adorable town of San Gimignano cannot me missed.
