Excellent 5 /5There are no words to describe how wonderful our two week vacation at Palazzo Rosadi was during the month of August 2013. Our party consisted of three adults and four young children (2 - 9 years old). We arrived with high expectations, which were greatly exceeded. The villa and the surrounding property are even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. The views are breathtaking and never seize to amaze you from the moment you open the shutters in the morning to the time you enjoy a meal and glass of wine al fresco in the evening. The interior is spacious, comfortable and cool, even without air-conditioning in the middle of August. The garden is beautifully maintained and an absolute delight. The pool is perfect to relax after a day of sightseeing or to spend a lazy day “at home”.
The villa is located in the tiny Località Ripoli, approximately a 5 min drive from the quaint town of Monterchi. Restaurants and grocery stores are easily accessible in Monterchi by car. Beautiful medieval towns such as Anghiara and Citerna are about 20 min drives and worth every minute. Arezzo is less than 30 min by car, Cortona less than 45 min, Siena and Florence about one hour. The location, right on the border of Umbria is the perfect place to experience Eastern Tuscany at its fullest.
While this scenario would provide a fabulous vacation in and of itself, the personal attention and hospitality provided by the Rosadi family make the experience unforgettable. Rosado, who manages the property, speaks impeccable English and is the perfect host and guide. His parents, who lovingly help to take care of their property, are the most wonderful people you’ll ever meet. The family takes care of the property discretely and allows their guests as much privacy as they desire. They are always available when needed and extremely helpful with any needs that may arise.
If this review seems exaggerated, I can assure you it is not. It is not possible to use too many superlatives to describe our experience at Palazzo Rosadi. If you are looking for an unforgettable Tuscan vacation, you will not be disappointed.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
