The Property — B&B Da Ronald
B&B Da Ronald is a modest three-star bed and breakfast in central Arezzo, run with personal pride by a local owner. The vibe is more functional family-run guesthouse than polished hotel: expect simple, clean rooms, a basic breakfast buffet, and advice at the front desk that is genuine rather than scripted. It suits independent travellers—couples or solo visitors—who want a solid, no-fuss base to explore the historic centre on foot. Standing in the small lobby, you feel like you've stepped into someone's well-kept home, not a chain operation.
Chronicles of Arezzo
Arezzo was an important Etruscan settlement, later a Roman military colony, and reached its cultural peak in the 13th and 14th centuries as a free commune. Its medieval centre is intact: the Piazza Grande tilts gently, the Romanesque cathedral houses Piero della Francesca's fresco of Mary Magdalene, and Giorgio Vasari's house stands as a relic of his 16th-century influence. The city declined economically after Florentine rule but revived in the 20th century as a centre of gold jewellery manufacturing. Today, Arezzo balances its ancient layers with a lively antiques fair, a respected university, and the month-long Giostra del Saracino jousting tournament that still fills the streets with medieval pageantry. It's quieter than Florence or Siena but no less historically dense.
Best Time to Visit
Full Arezzo guide →Best months
May, June, September – warm but not oppressive, fewer tourists than July and August, and outdoor events like the Giostra del Saracino in June and September.
Peak / festival surge
July and August – the city is hot (often above 35°C) and busy with Italian holiday crowds and the late-August antiques fair. Hotel prices spike by 30-50% and book out weeks ahead.
Budget shoulder season
October and April – mild temperatures, significantly cheaper rates, and quieter streets. The antiques fair still runs on the first weekend of both months, but the city feels roomier.
Weather & packing
June in Arezzo can swing between a bright 28°C afternoon and a thunderstorm that drops 15°C in an hour. Pack a light rain jacket and a long-sleeve layer, and always carry a small umbrella.
Live City Briefing — Arezzo
- The main Piazza Grande is partially pedestrianised for summer evening events; check for street closures around the Giostra del Saracino rehearsals starting mid-June.
- A new cycle lane connects the train station to the historic centre; bike rental is now easier for those wanting to explore the surrounding hills.
- The June antiques fair (Fiera Antiquaria) runs the first weekend of the month; expect extra crowds and limited parking on those days.
Your Perfect Room

Best rooms to request
If you prefer a room with easier access, request a room on the ground floor. The hotel has one accessible room on the ground floor, and the front entrance has a single step, making it a good option for those with mobility issues.
Rooms to avoid

Quietest floors
The ground floor is likely the quietest, as it's the lowest floor and closest to the front entrance. The second floor may be noisier due to potential activity from the service entrance or other rooms.

Top Attractions in Arezzo
💡 Arrive before 10am to get the best light on the frescoes without crowds. Check the ticket desk for combined passes if you also plan to visit the museum.
💡 The crypt (small fee) holds Romanesque capitals and a 12th-century crucifix. Visit just before noon to hear the organ practice. Not much signage, so rent an audioguide (€3) or rely on a guidebook.
💡 The amphitheatre itself is free to view from the street. For the full effect, enter the Archaeological Museum (€6) which gives you access to the seating area. Visit early morning when it's quiet.
💡 The fortress walls are mostly gone, but the grassy bastion is still a great viewpoint. Walk to the eastern corner for a clear shot of the cathedral and town. Bring water in summer—the hill is exposed and there’s no café on site. The park is popular with local families on weekends.
💡 Come late afternoon when the light warms the brick, and sit on the steps of the Loggia for a perfect view. The weekly Saturday market sets up here. Avoid parking on the cobbles—locals get fined.
