This is our third stay at this beautiful villa and we feel like we are coming "home" when we arrive. The villa is situated in a spectacular position to enjoy the beautiful Tuscan countryside, with views of the Banfi castle and the small village of Camigliano across the valley. The caretaker for the villa, Tiziana, is very helpful and is a wonderful cook as well. The wine made from the vineyards on the property is excellent and we are so appreciative that the wine makers share it with us. The ability to rent additional rooms if the group is larger provides great flexibility when booking this villa. This is one of my favorite places to stay in Italy and would highly recommend it.

Our group ( 4 couples ) booked this villa on the recommendation of work colleagues and the basis of reviews. We were not disappointed . The location on a hillside in Ripoli near Monterchi provides wonderful views and allows easy access to towns such as Citerna and Anghiari. Arezzo is half an hour away and worth a visit as well as providing access to the train to Florence. The villa is very comfortable with plenty of indoor and outdoor areas to relax and eat and drink. The tower is a must for afternoon drinks to enjoy the view down the valley. The kitchen is well equipped complete with dishwasher allowing groups to prepare their own meals. There are restaurants near Monterchi in Citerna ( the Belvedre), on the road to Citta Di Castello (Pieva la Vecchia) and at La Ville (pizzas). The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and ensuite bathrooms are clean and adequate. rosado, the owner, is extremely helpful and endeavours to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Overall, we all agreed it was the perfect way to spend two weeks in Italy.

Located on a working farm (olives/horses/hunting) situated on the hillside of a wooded valley with lovely views. Villa is private, spacious and clean but at time of our visit needed more seating in the lounge and did not have a kettle! Excellent base for exploring Tuscany and Umbria as close to fast motorways/city amenities whilst villa complex is secluded and scenic. You need to like dogs-owner has five small friendly dogs allowed to wander on the grounds and there are hunting dogs kept away from the villas but you can hear them when barking. If not for the above, our rating for this villa would be Excellent.

A group of friends and family spent 2 weeks at Palazzo Rosadi. We had a wonderful visit to the Tuscan hillside and enjoyed the palazzo greatly. The best thing about it was the personal attention we received from the Rosadi family. They made themselves available for all kinds of assistance which was most helpful, as most of us spoke no Italian and were a little lost. The villa was clean and comfortable and the countryside was delightful. We loved it!
