Graziella Patio Hotel

I needed a safe walk-in shower as a top priority..but a delightful room is always hoped for when a keen budget is still important, right ? Here on the lower ground floor is one one of the most delightfully innovative, almost flawlessly designed, & better still>> beautifully -- & innovatively-decorated -- rooms I've stayed in in years. Yes,.I do mean that.. I am an international traveller & my husband has lifetime top-tier status with one of the world's biggest hotel chains..so we stay in some of the best properties around the globe. Here in this unusual Basement Room of ours, there's more than ample wardrobe space (never seen these days) with thoughtfully fitted interior spaces, that actually function usefully! Plus a safe at eye level... Imagine !such convenience! The bathroom had an elegant walk-in shower with a textured, safe floor that for me could only have been improved as as o totally satisfactory experience had there been a hand-held water function as well as the ceiling rain shower. A mere quibble. Plenty of space either side of the adjacent handbasin also exceeded vastly what one finds missing almost everywhere these days..somewhere for one's own toiletries! Bravo! And then there's the highly unusual Italian Iconic room design flourishes to make one smile with pleasure that such commitment to excellence was undertaken here by whoever fitted out this unique space--with all its considerable challenges! Some would find the missing normal window setup a challenge--personally, I relished the clever ID solution with its swagged impact! Plenty of natural daylight, even though no view, as such. Almost immediate to the room, there's a decent semi-private lounge area that includes a complimentary top notch Nespresso coffee & tea making facility. Alas no milk ..nor water, but - only another tiny quibble! Alas the really lousy breakfast (included in our taffif) let an otherwise outstanding stay experience down somewhat .. one was inexplicably required --the night before --to fill out a form as to what one's "choices" (sic) would have to be for one's breakfast the following day ..like a second-rate boarding house decades ago! Watery orange juice left out at room temperature greeted one in an empty soulless room, upon arrival. Weak & disgusting "coffee" made to order (why bother ?) & I'll swear >>dry/reconstituted caterer's 'scrambled' egg (meanly portioned )was our destiny for the start of each day in fantastic Arezzo..& with just ONE lousy cake on offer (in Italy>imagine the shame!) alongside the breakfast cereal ( no milk ever sighted on either day) . Nothing was natural>>yoghurt, croissants..all sugared! Yuk! And all in a an inexplicably overlit & soulless basement room with non-functioning led table lights! Geee.....it WAS terrible. Skip Breakfast -E15 down the drain. But do stay here ...& the lower ground floor Room 109 we booked, I'd especially-- & quite particularly --recommend!

Great location. Very helpful staff. Very nice that there was valet parking.

Great central location

well managed small hotel in a great location

room was very small

The hotel is in a fabulous position in the historic part of Arezzo and the entrance is lovely and a friendly greeting welcomes you. Otherwise, we were terribly disappointed. We paid a lot of money to be put in the basement and asked to pay extra for breakfast which is in a dining room, in the basement with no windows. So we had breakfast at a fabulous cafe/restaurant called RabbitRabbit down the road. The decor is extremely odd. Overall, we wouldn’t recommend it.

Located right in the centre of Arezzo a few minutes from local bars and restaurants. Easy to get around the town and explore historical sites. Very helpful staff on reception, particularly Arroura, who went out of her way to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

The room was in the basement so apart from a back entrance there was no access to daylight. Breakfast was served in another windowless room in the basement and was fairly limited.

Great location with good breakfast included. Kathlyn (front desk) was very friendly and helpful.

Location was amazing and had facilities to park our car .. Breskfast was sufficient and well presented

No iron
