The Property — La Felcaia
La Felcaia is a solid three-star business-and-family hotel on the southern edge of Arezzo, near the main hospital and the bypass road. The lobby feels like a practical Italian chain — clean tile floors, dark wood reception desk, a small bar area with a couple of tables — and the staff are efficient and welcoming. The selling point is the large free car park and the quiet location, ideal if you’re driving through Tuscany or need easy access to the A1 motorway. It suits travellers who prioritise convenience over character; you’re ten minutes by car from the historic centre, not walking distance.
Cronache di Arezzo
Arezzo was an important Etruscan settlement (Arretium) and later a Roman military hub, producing distinctive red pottery called 'coralline' ware. In the medieval period it became a fiercely independent commune until Florence conquered it in 1384, and the city’s architecture still reflects that Tuscan Gothic style — grand stone palaces and a leaning tower at Piazza Grande. The painter Giorgio Vasari, born here in 1511, left his mark with frescoes and the elegant Loggia that frames the main square. Today Arezzo is known as the city of gold — the main Italian jewellery hub is based here — and its quiet, lived-in historic centre feels less touristy than Siena or Florence.
Best Time to Visit
Guida completa di Arezzo →Best months
May, June and September: warm days without July’s furnace heat, light crowds in the old town, and the Antique Fair still runs on the first weekend of each month.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak for summer holidays; August is noticeably dead in town when locals close shops for ferragosto. Hotel prices at La Felcaia can jump 30-40% in August. The main event is the Giostra del Saracino joust on the third Sunday of June and first Sunday of September — books up fast.
Budget shoulder season
April and October give mild weather (15-22°C), fewer tourists and hotel rates often 20% lower than July. April can be rainy; October has the olive harvest and still decent light.
Weather & packing
Arezzo sits in a valley and bakes in summer — July afternoons frequently hit 35°C with no breeze. Pack a wide-brimmed hat and a reusable water bottle; you’ll need it for the uphill walk to the Duomo.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Felcaia, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request

Principali attrazioni a 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.
