La proprietà — Olimpia
A no-frills three-star in a quiet residential pocket 15 minutes’ walk from Arezzo’s medieval core. The lobby is clean, tiled and functional — think laminated key cards, a basket of local maps and the faint smell of espresso from the breakfast room. It suits budget-conscious travellers who need a reliable base and aren’t bothered by a lack of character in the bedrooms.
Cronache di Arezzo
Arezzo was a major Etruscan settlement (Arretium) before becoming a Roman crossroads on the Cassian Way. Its medieval golden age came in the 13th–14th centuries, when the Guelph-Ghibelline rivalry and the frescoes of Piero della Francesca left a permanent mark on the Piazza Grande and the Basilica of San Francesco. Later absorbed into the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, the city’s economy shifted to goldsmithing and jewellery — a legacy still visible in the huge number of workshops along Via dei Bicchieraia. Today Arezzo balances its UNESCO-aspiring historic centre with a lively student population and the monthly antiques fair that draws dealers from across Europe.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Arezzo →I migliori mesi
May and September: warm but not oppressive (22–26°C), low rainfall, and the Giostra del Saracino joust in June/September means the town is lively but not swamped.
Peak / Festival Surge
June and August. June has the Giostra del Saracino and the classical music festival Arezzo Wave; August sees heat (often 33°C+) and Italian Ferragosto crowds. Hotel prices in Arezzo rise 15–30% during these months, but Olimpia stays relatively affordable because it’s outside the high-rent historic core.
Stagione di spalla
October and early November: still mild enough for walking (15–20°C), hotel rates drop 20–40%, and the antiques fair continues on the first weekend of each month. Fewer day-trippers from Florence and Siena.
Meteo e imballaggio
Arezzo sits in a valley and can trap humidity even in June; a thunderstorm can roll in by late afternoon. Pack a light waterproof jacket or umbrella, plus at least one long-sleeved layer for evenings when the temperature drops noticeably after sunset.
Briefing della città — Arezzo
- High-speed rail work on the Florence–Rome line means some regional trains skip Arezzo station on weekends; check Trenitalia’s ‘Orario in corso’ notices. Taxi wait times from the station have gone up by about 15 minutes during peak hours.
- The Fortezza Medicea gardens reopened in spring 2026 after a two-year restoration — now a quiet green spot with open views over the valley, free to enter and rarely busy.
- From June 2026, the pedestrianised zone on Corso Italia is being extended to include Via Cavour on Saturday mornings, which may cause minor traffic delays for drivers heading to the hotel.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Olimpia, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
We recommend rooms on the higher floors (2nd or 3rd) for a quieter stay. The single elevator serves all three floors, but the higher floors are likely to be less disturbed by noise from the reception area and the Fiorentina street below. Room 106 has a roll-in shower, making it a good option for guests with mobility needs.
Rooms to avoid
Guests who are sensitive to street noise should avoid rooms on the ground floor (1st floor), as Via Fiorentina can get busy, especially during peak tourist season.
Best views
Unfortunately, there are no specific views to request, as the hotel is situated on a main road. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a slightly better view of the surrounding area.

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.
