The property has an extraordinary location, high in the hills looking north over the valley of the Upper Tiber. It is quite a long way off the road between Arezzo and Sansepolcro. From the gardens, and from the dining room, there is a huge view over the valley, and in the evening the lights of buildings and cars in the far distance form an unforgettable backdrop. Our room was traditionally furnished and relatively small, but very comfortable and with a modern shower room attached. Everything worked. We also had dinner in the hotel restaurant, where the prices were reasonable and the helpings generous, even over-generous. My wife's tagliata di manzo would have been enough for three. The wine-list was good, not brilliant perhaps, but very fairly priced. Overall the stay was excellent value.
