Hotel Badia di Pomaio - Arezzo

We stayed at this beautiful Tuscany hotel in June. The location was amazing with a fabulous view! The ambiance of this hotel was romantic and peaceful. The staff was impeccable and very personable. They treated us like family and gave the type of service that you would receive from a 5 star resort! The hotel was very comfortable with excellent hospitality. We got to know the staff very well as they gave us so much attention. We will definitely be back! Joseph and Flower were the BEST! These two employees were attentive to our every need and worked very hard to create a great experience for their guests! These two employees are keepers! Thank you for the wonderful memories your hotel and staff created for us!

What a divine place ..... we had a large room which was full of charm. The views from the hotel to the valley below were spectacular.... lived up to the website and then some!

Only 5 km from Arezzo but not very easy to reach ....up on the hill. Not very much indicated for business traveller.

When we had arrived hotel no one was their, we have to carried in our luggage from parking lot to the room. The hotel is top of the mountain where is wonderful location but you must have a car and navigation system. Hotel staff are very nice and foods are ok.

This is a wonderful place to stay for 3 or 4 days, a car is essential to explore the surrounding areas. Our 5 nighter was perhaps a shade long, because it feels remote though only 5 miles or so out of Arezzo, nearly 2000ft up a hillside on the edge of the Alpe di Poti. The drive up has a couple of bottom gear hairpins, with countless bends and twists, but the reward is great at the top. Fantastic views from the hotel,and excellent attentive service in virtually all respects. However the menu is perhaps a bit restricted, given that there is no alternative within walking distance and an evening drive into Arezzo may be a bit a bit daunting because of that road. However the food is excellent, however, and we felt pampered, especially as our suite (upgraded) had 2 bathrooms. The remoteness also gives a delightful 'away from it all' feeling. All in all, highly recommended.

Nice place to stay, and arezzo is very beautiful and not far away (by car).

We spent three nights in Badia di Pomaio. Hotel is located about 6 kms outside Arezzo in a very nice position about 1000 feet up in the hills and is a converted monastery. As such the rooms are fairly dark with one small window and a sky-light which feels a little 'close'. Directions to the hotel in website are not great but OK in their brochure... too late for first arrival though. Staff very friendly and restaurant food good. Breakfast a bit limited compared to other hotels we stayed in. The swimming pool is a great feature overlooking the spectacular view of city and surrounding countryside.

The only problem is that it is very difficult to find.

Really fantastic service and beautiful location! We loved our stay and will come again. Plan to have dinner there too as the food is awesome and creative.

We chose Badia di Pomaio for a 2-day stay during a 7-day Christmas-New Year visit to Tuscany and we couldnt be more pleased we did. Badia di Pomaio is an excellent and beautiful hotel. The view to Arezzo from the front is absolutely fabulous as well as the surroundings. The rooms are luxurious and particularly spacious, we chose a smaller one in order to have the best view to Arezzo and we were really happy with it. The breakfast without being great, was sufficient. The point to focus is how to get there. If you're reaching by Car-GPS get the exact coordinates from the Hotel website. It really saves time. And be sure to reach the hotel through Arezzo. The staff of the hotel was particularly helpful and kind. Great value for money !!! We would stay there again anytime.

It was a great stay at Badia di Pomaio, even it was only for one night. A beautiful location with very friendly people and a perfect dinner. It was our first stay there, but for sure not our last one.

A wonderful hotel! A little hard to find (thank God for GPS) but well worth the effort. This is a real jewel of a hotel. Great food, wonderful staff, and the best for view of Arezzo!

Samuele was phenomenal in his assistance for my sister and me. He went well beyond what might be expected in order to get us into a lovely hotel in Pisa. Thank you , Samuele!!!

Suitable for couples who want quiet relaxing break with great food and romantic surroundings. Lovely grounds with pool and loungers for sunbathing. Very peaceful. We stayed for two nights.

DREADFUL, despite a large number of cars in the car park we were eventually told, after 10 mins, that half(4) the rooms were not available so there was no room for us. After arriving very hot and dusty as it is a long way from town, we were told we could wait 2hrs, but there were no facilities to wash and change, have dinner and then be driven to another hotel to sleep. The owner at his computer did not even get up to speak to me personally.

Stunning location and easy access for Arrezzo A family run hotel with the highest standards, very friendly and accomodating. Directions on how to reach the hotel from the city are excellent - don't try to approach from the national park behind the hotel. The food was fantastic and the wine just as good.

Vistas alucinantes,casa preciosa, servicio super atento, una ganga comparando con otros hoteles de Italia en los que hemos estado. No dudéis en ir. Quedaos a cenar en su restaurante, merece la pena. El mejor hotel en el que hemos estado con diferencia, un 10 sin duda.

Hotel, food, service, surroundings: perfetta! Gianni and his staff are very friendly and helpful. Try to combine a stay in Badia di Pomaio with a visit to the famous antique market in Arezzo, always on the first Sunday of the month and the Saturday before. Only signs to location could be better.

A great hotel with a lot of character. The only problem we encountered was they couldn't find the key when we checked in, but otherwise it was a fantastic hotel and I would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic hotel , a real treat. the view from the hotel looking down over Arezzo is spectacular. A luxurious feel with staff pleased to help. rooms very comfortable and very quiet.

Lovely place, wonderful view, special set of the pool is extraordinary. You have to be lucky though to get a room with view.

It is easy to find the hotel, just follow the directions on the website, the last few km is a very tiny road, drive carefully! The view over Arezzo from the hotel/pool is absolutely beautiful. The staff were nice and very serviceminded, the management was not, they have to work on being as friendly as their staff. We had dinner one night at the hotel and the food was very, very good (try the tuna steak). Breakfast was also very good, a lot to choose from.....salami, ham, salmon, cheese, different kind of cakes and bread. We had one problem, and that was the noice indoors due to stonefloors and the paperthin walls between the rooms, you hear everything absolute everything so it was hard to get a good night sleep.

A marvelous retreat after the hustle and bustle of Rome, Venice and even Arezzo. We felt special from the moment of arrival until we departed. We had no trouble communicating...some staff were proficient in English, others had fun trying, as did we in our limited Italian. While this is a centuries old Abbey, no expense was spared in updating it to a modern hotel. Yet at times, you feel that you are a part of the happenings so long ago.

I would return without any hesitation. The restaurant is also a very good Q/P price.

I loved this accommodation and will highly recommend it to others! Simply spectacular!

Exceeded our expectations. Wonderfully restored monastary. The dining room was 5 star plus - including the food and the service. After touring for 5 days, this hotel was clearly the best ever. Next time I will stay here and use this place as a touring base.

The place is wonderful and very relaxing, including the surroundings. The furniture is a bit scarce and not very confortable. The kindness of the staff could improve.

Special introductory price made it very reasonable. Pool was too cold to swim in. Internet was free Excellent meals. Taxi to train 18 Euros. Free pick-up from train much appreciated.

Excellent hotel right off the beaten track but handy for a day in Arezzo. Excellent food and wine by the glass.

A wonderful hotel very reasonably priced.

Lovely hotel, superb staff

Un sitio estupendo, la gente encantadora y la relación calidad precio de las mejores que he encontrado en Italia. Lo único un poco complicado es llegar, pero con paciencia se consigue. Y las vistas son espectaculares. Muy recomendable.

Beautiful surroundings, quietness, view! However relatively far from the city Arrezzo. We stayed only one night. So there was no possibility having a visit of the city not using the car. And even by car it is rather distant. But we love the place and the restaurant.

Unfortunately we only stayed 1 night and regretted that we could not stay longer. Service was excellent, hotel and surroundings lovely and the views beautiful. Dinner was delicious and breakfast plentiful. The other guests were friendly and made a point of meeting us. The hotel is 15 mins from the train station by taxi, and perched high on a hill away from the hustle and bustle. Perfect for a quiet break relaxing by the pool.

Nice view on a typic landscape, very good and quiet familialy run hotel, very good food.

Schönes Hotel auf 600M Höhe gelegen. Ein Auto ist unbedingt notwendig, da es ca. 4 Kilometer von der nächst grösseren Ortschaft entfernt ist. Die Zimmer sind gross und sehr sauber. Das Personal ist stets freundlich, aber nicht immer sehr speditiv. Leider war das Frühstück nicht der Rede wert. Es gab nur kleines hartes Brot oder Zwieback, angemachter Orangensaft, 2 Käsesorten, Joghurt und viele Süssgebäcke. Bei einem Preis von fast 100 Franken pro Nacht/pro Person hätten wir schon mehr erwartet. Ansonsten ist das Hotel empfehlenswert. Vorallem die Aussicht vom Pool aus ist traumhaft.

Beautiful - what more can I say? Staff were very friendly and helpful. Had difficulty finding the hotel...a better map could be provided. But apart from that a great stay.

Excellente découverte.

Nous avons séjourné 7 nuits à la Badia. C'est un vrai enchantement : accueil supérieur à 10/10, cadre de rêve, disponibilité, compétnce et gentillesse du personnel sans faille. Chambres de caractère, calmes, spacieuses et très bien équipées. Tout est parfait !

Fantastico

The hotel was excellent with a fine selction of wines at reasonable to exciting prices. The food was also very good with attentive service. The accessibility is the only area thta copuld be seen as a problem . Believe in the instruction and look for the corner shop for the turn to the hotel .That is the key.Then the 4.3 km up the hill!

This property is located in the hills of Arezzo with an amazing view. There is a lovely pool. It is very removed from the immediate city. You must drive to get anywhere as there is only one way up the hill. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Our room was across from the kitchen which made it a little loud until about 10:30 p.m.

Very beautiful place and nice people, especially the owner mr. briganti - we would come back next year!

This hotel was amazing! It's a several hundred year old monestary that was converted to an inn and restaurant. The owner Gianni is a warm and friendly host and his 6 year old son is a great character and entertaining whenever he is around. the property and surrounding countryside are spectacular! There is a 5 star (in our opinion) restaurant in the building and the service, ambiance and food are maginificent. We could have had several meals there if we stayed longer. There are not enough compliments that can adequately add to the description and experience we would like to convey. We were sorry that we were unable to stay longer but would return and like others use the Inn as our base of operation when we further explore Tuscany. You will be fortunate if you stay here.... Its great value for the money and an experience you will never forget!

It is certainly one of the nicest hotels in this area.The food is not spezial,but average.Theb personal is very helpful

Posto fantastico da provare assolutamente!!

First time in Badia di Pomaio, excellent expericence, old and nice building just restructured, nice room, internet connection for free, very cheap compared with the services provided. The restaurant is very good with a interesting list of wines. Also the restaurant is not expensive.

Veramente bello e rilassante

Very good place to relax. during the winter the only thing you can do is probably stay in the hotel and have a good meal. the quality of the food is very good, and the prices are good for what you get. it's a bit far from everything but it's ok to chill out. there are plenty of farms close where you can buy som local organic products. we had a very good time there. stayed only for 1 night only, i wouldn't stay there more than 3 next time though...
