Das Eigentum — Il Casolare
Il Casolare is a relaxed, family-run 3-star hotel on Arezzo’s quieter edge, with a gravel drive and a small pool that feels more Tuscan farmhouse than chain hotel. The lobby is tiled, a bit dated, but genuinely welcoming — the owner often mans reception. It suits travellers who want a clean base with parking, not a boutique scene, and who don’t mind walking 20 minutes to the medieval centre.
Chroniken von Arezzo
Arezzo began as an Etruscan stronghold, became a Roman military colony (Arretium), and later a fierce rival to Florence in the medieval period. Its wealth came from cloth and banking, visible in the Romanesque apse of San Francesco and the frescoed vaults of the Pieve. The city declined after Florentine conquest in 1384, but revival came in the 20th century, partly thanks to the antiques trade and the Giostra del Saracino joust. Today it’s a provincial capital of 100,000, known for its intact hilltop centro storico, Vasari’s frescoes, and a quietly confident local identity — not a tourist circus like Siena or Florence.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Arezzo-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June, September. Warm days (24–28°C), long light, and fewer crowds than July–August. The hills are green, the antiques fair runs the first weekend of June, and hotel rates are moderate.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August. Hot (30–35°C, sometimes higher) and busy with Italian holidaymakers and the Giostra del Saracino (third weekend June, first weekend September). Prices at Il Casolare roughly double from low season. August brings the city’s biggest crowds, plus extreme heat that makes sightseeing a chore by 11am.
Budget Schulter Saison
April, October. Temperatures 15–23°C, occasional rain. Rates drop 30–40% below peak. You get the frescoes and the joust (October’s edition) without the crowds. Pack a jacket for evening.
Wetter & Verpackung
Arezzo is in a valley, so summer afternoons can feel hotter than the thermometer suggests, and thunderstorms pop up suddenly in spring. Pack a lightweight waterproof even in July, and always carry a sunhat and reusable water bottle.

- The Giostra del Saracino on 20 June 2026 falls on a Saturday — expect road closures and packed piazzas, but book now if you want a balcony view.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Il Casolare, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor, facing the inner courtyard. These floors sit above street-level noise but are still within easy reach by the hotel lift, and the courtyard side is quieter than the front.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, especially those overlooking the street, as the entrance and lobby area can collect footfall and traffic noise. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft at any floor, because the lift may be audible.
Best views
A room on the second or third floor facing the inner courtyard offers the quietest outlook with a view of the garden or courtyard. Street-facing rooms at this level catch the rooftops and glimpses of Arezzo's historic skyline, but with more traffic noise.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors. They are both served by the lift and above the ground-floor bustle, without reaching a height that might expose you to roof or wind noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Il Casolare is on a central street in Arezzo — expect traffic hum from around 7am, with occasional motorbikes and delivery vans. The lift is old and clunks, so avoid rooms directly adjacent. A breakfast room or bar on the ground floor may create early-morning chair scrape and chatter.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on the second or third floor, courtyard side, at booking and confirm it a day before arrival. 2. Parking in Arezzo is scarce; ask the hotel if they have a reserved spot or a discounted partner garage nearby, as street parking gets taken fast.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top-Attraktionen 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.
