Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Villino Blu, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th or 5th) for a quieter stay, as the hotel is located in the city center and there may be some street noise from the Via del Corso and surrounding streets. The concrete floors on these higher floors will also help reduce noise from the lift and any foot traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd) may be noisier due to the proximity to the lift and potential street noise from the main road. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance or bar area may experience noise from staff activity or occasional external noise.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address is in a relatively quiet part of Arezzo, and the views from the rooms are likely to be of the surrounding buildings or rooftops. However, higher floors (4th or 5th) may offer a slightly better view of the city skyline.

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.
