A gem of a find!
Staying in this stunning apartment in Arezzo was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, Stefano (and his gorgeous dog Spritz) made us feel completely at home. The apartment is beautifully designed, blending modern comforts with classic Italian charm. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the elegant decor to the stunning bathrooms and fully equipped kitchen, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring Arezzo and nearby cities and towns (Florence, Pienza, Montepulciano, Siena, Cortona and San Gimignano). The location is unbeatable. It is in a quiet area and a short walk to shops and restaurants. The car parking area was also close by. We never had trouble securing a space each day. Our host, Stefano, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, providing local tips and restaurant recommendations and even cooking an amazing meal for us on our last night. His genuine hospitality made our experience even more special, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about making our stay memorable. Overall, this apartment in Arezzo is a gem, combining comfort, style, and an authentic Tuscan experience. We would return in a heartbeat, especially in winter, when we can enjoy the magnificent fireplace, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Our first two weeks in Arezzo and certainly this property exceeded our expectations. The location is ideal and special thanks to our host Stefano who welcomed us with open arms. He is a gracious host and an excellent instructor in making homemade pasta. He was most helpful suggesting sites to visit and excellent dining recommendations at every turn. Should our travels find us in Arezzo again this is where we will stay Many thanks Stefano

Perfection!
When you discover a property with 100+ 10/10 reviews you KNOW it will be special. You will also know it is not because of the property alone - it is a reflection of the owner. Locanda Bellavita is spectacular, but Stefano (and his adorable dog “Spritz”) makes staying here so very special. We arrived as guests and departed after 2 fabulous weeks as family. Please take the time to read through the reviews. Ethan S. added his on February 14th and articulated perfectly what a stay here is like. He wrote it on Valentine’s Day which is entirely appropriate since each and every review is quite simply a love letter to Stefano…and “Spritz”! We can’t wait to return! xo

Could not have been better.
Stephano goes out of his way to make his guests feel at home. The place was comfortable and spotless. We enjoyed getting to know our host and his city. The kitchen is well appointed with a well stocked wine rack. Read through the reviews, they are accurate! Comfortable bedding, lovely surroundings and, oh yes, a wonderful bakery across the street. Highly recommended!

Fabulous Place!
I can’t say enough good things about this home! The old mixed with modern is stunning. Stefano is an incredible host. He helped us plan a winery tour and advised us on things to do, we cooked, he started the fire for us when we wanted one, he even offered to come pick us up an hour away when we had car issues. If we’re ever in the Tuscany region again, this is where we will stay.

The perfect house in a perfect location
I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful house and its host Stefano. The 3 bedroom 2 bath house was perfect for my family of 5. As soon as we walked in, my kids eyes lit up with amazement. This 500 year old house was a dream come true. The location is in the old town of Arezzo which is a perfect location for day trips around Toscana. Everywhere you want to visit is 1 hour drive or less. Stefano was the perfect host and helped us with wine tour reservations and gave my family a private cooking lesson that was so much fun..and delizioso! If you are looking for the perfect home away from home in the heart of Toscana, this is it.

Enjoyable visit to Arezzo
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Arezzo. It's a lovely city - has places to visit, is very walkable, and has great food. In fact, there's a fabulous pastry shop across the street from the house. Stefano provided wonderful suggestions on less touristy places to visit. This charming home is a great central location for day trips - by car or train. The cooking class with Stefano and his son provided a fun-filled evening for everyone. We hope to return one day.

If magic had a home... this would be it!
In the home there is a guest book that shows the painstaking process that Stephano went through as he renovated this 500+ year old home. The book begins with a quote from Walt Disney that says "If you can dream it, you can do it." This sums up this amazing place and the soul and character of the owner. It is really beyond description. I've spend my life traveling around the world and have stayed in many amazing places; but this home in Arezzo is a cut-above. We wanted a relaxing vacation where we could make day trips to Florence, Sienna, and various places in Tuscany. Arezzo is ideally situated for this purpose, and it is big enough that you can still have plenty to do on the days you want to just hang around town. Stephano was our host, but so much more. We had him as a guide, and he did a cooking lesson for our family. He is full of good will, humor, and kindness. There are very few people you meet in the world who are so authentic, kind, and genuinely care about your happiness. This is Stephano through-and-through. He even has a little dog named Spritz that my family just loved! There really aren't enough words to describe our experience at this place, in Arezzo, and our time together as a family. The home is spacious, every detail has been thought through, and the giant fireplace just brings such warmth and love into the home. Beyond all of this, it is Stephano's passion for preserving the past and the magic that he sees in this edifice that is truly inspirational.

Extraordinary apartment - even more extraordinary host
We were so lucky to have found this exceptionally beautiful apartment for our eight-night stay for four of us in Arezzo: it exceeded our already high expectations for a gorgeous place to stay in a wonderful location in the historic section of town. It was very beautifully appointed, with fabulous antique decorations and furniture, lovely linens and plenty of them, and everything a chef could ask for in the well-appointed kitchen, and though we didn't cook often there was every utensil and pan that we could ask for. There is a beautiful private garden, and the interior was so spacious and comfortable, it made for a wonderful experience on every level. And Stefano! What a tremendous host! Words cannot express what a charming, charismatic and helpful host Stefano is, and he made our visit to Arezzo absolutely the best of our yearly vacations to Italy. Although we had mapped out an itinerary for each day prior to arriving, Stefano had even better ideas of what to see and we followed his advice to the letter and in doing so had many experiences we would not have had otherwise, and for that we are forever grateful. Directly across the street is a superlative pasticceria, Fratelli Bruschi--a wonderful place to start each morning with a warm welcome from the owner, Stefania, as if we were old friends. We have every intention of returning for a future stay in this exceptional apartment! Grazie mille Stefano!

Humanity in Arezzo
A house does not make a home, and not all VRBOs are created equal. This villa and its host, Stefano, offer more than any hotel can in Italy. It is a place to discover meaning and purpose, and to connect with humanity across the globe. Everything you read about this villa and Stefano is accurate. There are many choices in Tuscany, but what makes this villa unique is its amazing host. Stefano brings humanity and authenticity to an amazing Italian vacation. He communicated quickly and effectively, and provided great recommendations on where to stop on our way up from Rome (Orvieto), great recommendations in the town of Arezzo during the Antique market, and finally a pasta making experience that my family will cherish for a lifetime. If you are trying to make a choice on where to stay in Tuscany, I recommend skipping the shiny villas on the hillside and instead stay in this beautiful villa and take some time to meet Stefano.

A wonderful property and a friendly and attentive host; we stayed three nights.

Amazing stay, host of all hosts
My husband, friends and I were fortunate enough to recently spend 3 nights at Stefano’s Villa in Arezzo. We had an amazing time. The Villa has been beautifully restored to its original grandeur, which we appreciated during our stay. Stefano was the host of all hosts. He provided us an experience like no other. Upon our arrival in Arezzo, he was there to great us at the train station, and transported us to his Villa. On our first night we had a cooking class, where we prepared the most delicious ragu with home made raviolis. We ate outside on the terrace, enjoying bottles of wine with our meal. It was like a dream! For the next two days Stefano was our tour guide, bringing us to the most quaint Tuscan towns, where we could experience authentic Tuscany away from the crowds. One day he even brought us to a river in the woods where we were able to swim and cool off. If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to stay at Stefano’s Villa, I highly recommend. We will forever fondly remember our stay and hope to return one day.

A magical place
This apartment is quite special. The 3 bedrooms were extremely comfortable and filled with charming details. The towering ceilings and brick walls made us feel like we were living in a fairy tale. The ground-level apartment is naturally cool, and we never missed air conditioning. The host, Stefano, provided wonderful recommendations and was very generous with his time and his backyard, which is filled with lovely trees, succulents and a fish pond. We felt quite spoiled, frankly. I would recommend the town of Arezzo itself highly. It's slightly off the beaten tourist track, and even though we were there in August we never felt like it was crowded or hectic. We had 3 excellent meals at 3 restaurants there, none of which required reservations or waiting time. If you require four beds, discuss it in advance with Stefano. The double bed in one of the rooms can be separated into single beds. The room is shown both ways in the photos (double bed + 2 singles) but I believe it's typically configured as a double bed. The living space and dining table are large and sumptuous. The setting allowed our family of 5 to rest and recharge each night after days spent sampling wine and exploring the spectacular Tuscan countryside. I would eagerly return if I'm ever lucky enough to get the chance. Grazie mille!

Arezzo for first time European Travelers
All we can say is, be prepared to add another person to your family because Stefano will become more than just your average VRBO host! From the top knotch accommodations that he has put so much love and care in restoring (so much history in the very modern comforts) to the beautiful "in town" location within walking distance to everything this wonderful Tuscan town has to offer (just sitting in the nearby park enjoing wine and pasta from the gazebo, overlooking the rolling hills of Tuscany was enough, but there is way more to Arezzo than that), but just the fact that Stefano pours his heart and soul into making sure your stay with him is an unforgettable experience in every way. He even tought us how to make pasta and prepared the rest of a very delicious dining experience right in our own kitchen/dining room! Cant say enough good things about our stay in Arezzo! We would highly recommend Stefanos place for anybodys Tuscan holiday!

Fantastic Experience
The Guest House was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The photos are an excellent representation of the property. A wonderful place to stay while in Tuscany as the train station for day trips is a short walk away. Arezzo is quite a charming city in its own right. While the property alone made our visit worthwhile, it was our host, Stefano, who made our stay so enjoyable. He was available for anything we might have needed. He also prepared, and joined us for, an incredible lunch on the patio one afternoon and took us on a guided tour to Montepulciano on another. He is an amazing, knowledgeable and talented guy. We arrived as his guests and departed as friends. Rich and Kristen C.
