San Pietro a Cegliolo, Arezzo Hotel Rooms at the Independent

We spent four nights at Il Casale, and slept like babies! We had our own "apartment", with our own private patio. Our place was so "old Tuscan" in architecture and furnishings. The pictures on the website don't do it justice! The only thing I didn't like, was if you wanted clean towels, you had to wash them yourself in laundry room. And the reception girl was the only one who spoke English, and is there only in the mornings. Since we arrived at evening, we were greeted by, I presume the owner, who took us in, but couldn't explain much (ie: TV). But if you want to "live under the Tuscan sun", we highly recommend this place!

My wife and I stayed almost a week and loved the hotel. It is like staying in a an old Tuscan villa except with all the modern conveniences. The hotel has an excellent restaurant. The staff is friendly and helpful. Conveniently located for visits into the old walled city and for day trips into the countryside. Staying here is a true taste of Tuscany.
