Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsThe Palazzo Rosadi was the setting for 9 senior American ladies, gathering together for a reunion and celebration of their friendship. Planning began a year ahead of time, made easier through the experience and attention of the agency, EasyReserve of the U.K. They were very professional and answered all queries promptly.
Driving up to the villa on our arrival day was just 'jaw dropping'. The grounds and manor house were stunning and beautifully cared for. And there were even more pleasant surprises in the interior. The bedrooms were large, comfortable and with each having beautiful artistic paintings on the walls and ceilings.
But one of the most wonderful things about staying here was meeting the Rosadi family. This is family owned and operated with every attention to detail for their guests comfort. They are very proud of this property and we're wonderful hosts......attentive while respecting our privacy. Rosado was very helpful with excursions, such as wine tasting, restaurants and interesting sites to visit. All in all, this villa, location and e perience far exceeded our expectations, and we all left with a fondness for the Monterchi area and the Rosadi family.Would you recommend this property to a friend?

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsOur group of 5 couples used Palazzo Rosadi for our recent week in Tuscany. Difficult to add more glowing words about this property than have already been posted on this website. If you have a fairly large group of people traveling together, this villa is an excellent choice. The owner, Rosadi and his parents could NOT have been more gracious and helpful during our stay at this historic villa. The location is out in the beautiful Tuscan countryside near the Umbrian border. The charming village of Monterchi is only 5-7 minutes away, where you will find a small supermarket that has everything you might need for your stay at the villa. The kitchen is equipped nicely with everything you need to prepare lovely dinners.
We spent one day in Florence and found taking the train from Arrezo (20 minutes away from the villa) to Florence (Firenze)was an excellent alternative to driving, since parking and driving in Florence is extremely difficult. The 30 minute trip was very relaxing and delivers you to the Santa Maria Novella station, a 5-10 minute walk to the historic section. A vehicle is a must if you are staying at this villa. If Mr. Rosado offers to take you on a visit to a nearby Monastery outside of Sansepulcro,do it. This small mountain-top place has been there since 1132 A.D. and was frequented by St. Francis of Assisi during his travels. Our group felt it was one of the highlights of the 2 weeks we were in Italy. Also, pay heed to Mr. Rosadi's recommendation for local restaurants... he even called and made reservations at La Pieve Vecchio, outside Monterchi, where we dined at on two occasions. Also, travel the short trip to Anghiari and dine at Da Alghiero, another worthwhile recommendation by Mr. Rosadi. The owners, Gianni and Sylvia will treat you like family, once they find out you know Rosadi.
Overall, Palazzo Rosadi exceeded our expectations on many levels. First time in Tuscany and Italy, but do hope it won't be our last......Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsGreat palazzo, beautiful garden and surrounding. Everything is well-kept by the very friendly and helpful owner Rosado. The palazzo is very clean and well equipped, perfect for a group. Lots of space and historic atmosphere. Everyone liked the week a lot and we are looking forward to return.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsBeautifully restored and well-maintained villa in the heart of Toscana. Dreamy views, lots of outdoor spaces for enjoying the awesome grounds. Good location, just a 5 min drive to cute Monterchi, a little village, that has a well-stocked supermercato. Mr Rosadi was warm and welcoming, sharing many useful tips and suggestions for day trips and restaurants. He even brought us truffles his English Setters found in the woods and a delicious coffee cake his mother baked!

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsPalazzo Rosadi was just a magical place where everything is beautiful and the people, food, town of Monterchi, and especially the Rosadi Family are wonderful. Our family and friends had an enchanting two weeks there and our only regret was we had to leave- until next time because we definitely will return. Thank you, Rosado Rosadi, for the trip of our dreams!

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsWe, beeing an extended family of 11, stayed in Palazzo Rosadi over Easter and had, despite beeing extremley unlucky with the weather, a fantastic time. The villa is altogether fantastic. Beutiful both from the outside and the inside, nicely furnished and equipped, not at all as sterile as rental villas can appear. The gardens, the breathtaking views and the surrounding Forests brings a desired calm to the stay. In summertime this must be truly Amazing with the nice swimmingpool in the center. The surrounding offer great opportunities for nice walks or running. Tabletennis in the neighbouring villa and tennis in the village. The owner, Rosado Rosadi, is truly welcoming, helpful and nice and came to immidiate assistance at the slightest issue. He helped guide us to great restaurants, go for all his recommendations, offered ideas of what villages to visit and accompanied us to the ancient monestary in the Mountains, well Worth a visit. At the restaurants, that he booked for us, we where very well taken care of. Lastly he introduced us to the family that owns the small supermarket in the village. The level of service and Product there was exceptional to the extent that we had to go shopping there every day. We really hope to be able to go back and we give Palazzo Rosadi our highest score.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsPalazzo Rosadi is a wonderful villa, which is perfect for a large family group or group of friends. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and there is plenty of room in the house for people to have "their own space". The gardens that the villa are set in, are very large so it is wonderful to be able to enjoy the serene views and forest. Mr. Rosado is a perfect host very helpful and always available for answering any questions. I would think that the pool in summer would be very refreshing but our stay was late October. Palazzo Rosadi is in an excellent location for visiting the beautiful towns of Tuscany, Montecasale, Arezzo, Florence, Assisi, Cortona, Siena and many other places. You will need transport as it is 3ks to the closest shop. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough as I'm sure anyone would enjoy their stay there.The villa looks so much better in real life, than on the photos!The Easy Reserve website was one of the best, when I was initially searching for a place to stay. In a brief summary it provided me with all the information that I needed. Price, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms. I would use Easy Reserve again, they were professional in every way.

We hadden niet begrepen dat het zwembad dicht was...dachten dat alleen de jacuzzi per 1 oktober dicht was. Wel teleurgesteld. ..maar de eigenaar ging nog wel om ligbedden voor ons! Super!
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We had a fantastic week with a very friendly owner who solved all our questions and wishes perfectly!

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsOur stay at Palazzo Rosadi couldn't have been more wonderful. Spacious, clean, well kept and comfortable with beautiful views and fresh fruits growing all around. Rosado was fantastic. We arrived later than expected but Rosado hung in there and even came to meet us when we got lost. He was the added touch that really made our vacation special. You really do need a car to get about from this location but it is so worth it.

Beautiful palazzo sourrounded by a fantastic garden and with an amazing view.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsWe can't recommend Palazzo Rosadi highly enough. The stay exceeded our expectations in every way. First, the Palazzo and the grounds are even more beautiful than is conveyed in the pictures. The gardens and pool are extremely well kept, and the pool is 10 meters long, and comfortable for swimming laps. The best part of the stay however is the Rosadi family itself. The property has been in the family for centuries, and the house for hundreds of years. They love the property and it shows. We were welcomed as members of the family in every way. When Rosado Rosadi says Buongiorno my good friend, he means it. He provided us with tips and insights on everything, took us on a tour of a Franciscan monastery we never would otherwise have seen and essentially did whatever was necessary to make our stay enjoyable, without in any way intruding on our privacy. The area is filled with "gems" in small historic towns and castles that you would never otherwise visit, from the Madonna del Parto in Monterchi to the recently discovered (after 500 years sitting unrecognized) Donatello sculpture in nearby Citerna, to the amazing Franciscan monastery/castle at La Verna. We thought we would be yearning for more time in the big cities, but we had more than enough to do in three weeks with only one day trip to Florence. This was a fabulous experience!!!

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsMy family and I found Palazzo Rosadi to be a perfect getaway in the beautiful Tuscany Region with perhaps the most spectacular views we have ever seen. The landscape, flowers and outdoor seating areas were pristine and perfectly accommodated our party of 12 adults and a baby. The bedrooms, kitchen and other sitting/entertainment rooms were spacious and comfortable. Palazzo Rosadi is only 3 km from Monterchie, an old village located on a moutaintop.... The narrow streets lined with restaurants, shops and residences looks like something out of the 17th or 18th century. There is a local supermarket as you enter Monterchie and the people there are very friendly and helpful..... also the local wine is awesome....

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsThere are no words to describe how wonderful our two week vacation at Palazzo Rosadi was during the month of August 2013. Our party consisted of three adults and four young children (2 - 9 years old). We arrived with high expectations, which were greatly exceeded. The villa and the surrounding property are even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. The views are breathtaking and never seize to amaze you from the moment you open the shutters in the morning to the time you enjoy a meal and glass of wine al fresco in the evening. The interior is spacious, comfortable and cool, even without air-conditioning in the middle of August. The garden is beautifully maintained and an absolute delight. The pool is perfect to relax after a day of sightseeing or to spend a lazy day “at home”.
The villa is located in the tiny Località Ripoli, approximately a 5 min drive from the quaint town of Monterchi. Restaurants and grocery stores are easily accessible in Monterchi by car. Beautiful medieval towns such as Anghiara and Citerna are about 20 min drives and worth every minute. Arezzo is less than 30 min by car, Cortona less than 45 min, Siena and Florence about one hour. The location, right on the border of Umbria is the perfect place to experience Eastern Tuscany at its fullest.
While this scenario would provide a fabulous vacation in and of itself, the personal attention and hospitality provided by the Rosadi family make the experience unforgettable. Rosado, who manages the property, speaks impeccable English and is the perfect host and guide. His parents, who lovingly help to take care of their property, are the most wonderful people you’ll ever meet. The family takes care of the property discretely and allows their guests as much privacy as they desire. They are always available when needed and extremely helpful with any needs that may arise.
If this review seems exaggerated, I can assure you it is not. It is not possible to use too many superlatives to describe our experience at Palazzo Rosadi. If you are looking for an unforgettable Tuscan vacation, you will not be disappointed.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsA group of friends and family spent 2 weeks at Palazzo Rosadi. We had a wonderful visit to the Tuscan hillside and enjoyed the palazzo greatly. The best thing about it was the personal attention we received from the Rosadi family. They made themselves available for all kinds of assistance which was most helpful, as most of us spoke no Italian and were a little lost. The villa was clean and comfortable and the countryside was delightful. We loved it!

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsI have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Palazzo Rosadi to prospective renters.
My family and I (8 in total - 6 adults, 2 just over the age of 1) have just returned from a fabulous week there. It is a perfect haven for those looking for a tranquil respite and a taste of the 'true Tuscany'. Its a superbly appointed villa with plenty of room and all modern conveniences without losing any of its heritage. Its also a great base to explore the more hidden gems of the area such as Monterchi, Sanselpocro and the smaller villages that are off the usual tourist trail. I can certainly recommend a visit to the nearby vineyard of Il Borro for excellent wines and also a first rate spa and restaurant.
A special word to Rosado for being the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble and he made us feel relaxed and at home from the very start. Also the local supermarket who put up with our poor Italian and even gave us abottle of wine on our last day! You dont get that sevice in London....!!
So go to Palazzo Rosadi - you wont regret it and we'll certainly be back

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsWhat a great time we had at the Palazzo Rosadi! It is a beautiful and spacious villa and property. So much room, and such delightful views. The owner, Rosado, and his family helped to make our stay an enjoyable one. We were very active in travelling the area, to other towns and Florence, but our times at he villa were very special. The bedrooms were lovely and offered quiet and privacy. The views were spectacular, and waking up and viewing the bright sunshine or the fog in the valley were special to me. Still, I feel that a holiday is much about the people you meet, and the Rosadi Family and the people of the nearby area and Monterchi helped to make our holiday one of the best ever for me! Thanks Rosado, Anna, and Ernesto! Super villa, super time, super people.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsPalazzo Rosadi is a beautiful villa on an incredible property with an excellent pool, great views of the Tuscan countryside, flowers, and well-kept grounds. The owner takes personal care to ensure that everything is set up in the best way. We had 5 small children in our group, and we had cribs, bed rails, high chairs, and everything else needed to make it a great stay. We loved the location - close and convenient to Monterchi but very secluded. I would love to stay there again.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsPalazzo Rosadi is a fabulous villa. The location, views of surrounding valleys, and the property itself are more than we hoped for. The villa is a beautiful, historic building with updated kitchen and baths, comfortable beds, dining and sitting rooms and tranquil private grounds. We woke every morning to the sound of birds in the many trees on the property. Mr. Rosado Rosadi is a most helpful and gracious host. He provided directions, recommended restaurants, and was knowledgable about many nearby towns. We were given all of the pertinent information about the rental before our arrival. Though our visit was in late April and we did not choose to use the pool, we were able to enjoy the yard with an outdoor table and ample space for quiet roaming. Our group of seven adults enjoyed the kitchen, making wonderful shared meals. The location of the villa encourages walks to the nearby village of Ripoli and beyond. It was a wonderful getaway and we highly recommend it.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsWe recently stayed at Palazzo Rosadi (4 adults, 5 children) and found the property to be exactly as suggested by previous reviewers. It is a beautiful property, the grounds and views are stunning, and the Palazzo itself offers very good accommodation. The photographs on the internet give a sense of it but it is even better in reality. The bedrooms and bathrooms are excellent, and the kitchen has been recently updated. The welcome from Signor Rosadi was as described by others - extremely warm and helpful. We took up many of the local dining suggestions provided by Signor Rosadi - La Pieve Vecchia in Monterchi in particular was fantastic - and he was always happy to provide suggestions when venturing further afield, and help on other matters such as the logistics of purchasing a local SIM card. The children loved playing in the forest and by the pool (rescuing frogs from the swimming pool was a particular favourite). As it was late September it was a little too cold to enjoy the pool to the fullest, but we are already contemplating a return visit earlier in summer one year just to enjoy it. The villa was a little further from town than we expected - it is only a 5 minute drive but too far to walk - but Monterchi itself is a very pleasant little town. We arrived in time for the annual polenta festival which was a highlight. Monterchi is in the very far east of Tuscany, on the border of Umbria, so it took a little bit of time to get to some places in Tuscany (1.5hr drive to Siena, 30min drive to Arezzo and then 45min train to Florence, 1.5hrs to Montepulciano), but there is plenty to see and do in the immediate vicinity. Anghiari is a beautiful town 20mins away, and Sansepulcro (25mins) was a very handy spot for bigger supermarket shops and other services (gym, computer / electrical store). Gubbio in Umbria (1hr) was a favourite. Signor Marcello's supermarket in Monterchi was a delight - as suggested by Signor Rosadi we mentioned to Signor Marcello that we were staying at the Palazzo and were greeted with a very warm greeting and a complimentary glass of Signor Marcello's home produced wine at his little bar inside the supermarket. This villa really is worth visiting, it is spectacular and the owners are delightful - it will not disappoint. Dan F., Melbourne, Australia

Just loved this villa! Scenery was suburb and Rosado and his father, Ernesto, delightful. Local supermarket owners were unique and helpful. Monterchi was perfect, as were the walks around the property and into the hills behind the villa. Roses around walls, in May, were stunning. Whole experience was just what we were wanting in Tuscany. Rosado took us to Franciscan Monastry which was a highlight. Disappointed that he did not have more time to take us on a longer tour. It had rained a great deal before we arrived, so the walk through the cypress forest was not as planned. Would highly recommend this villa to anyone wishing to experience Tuscany.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsI was a little concerned booking a villa for 12 people site unseen, but once we arrived, I knew it was destiny. All were delighted with the accommodations. The residence was immaculate and the rooms were very comfortable. The pride taken in the property was apparent by the frequent owner and caretaker visits, but never intrusive. The hospitality and warmth of the residence was only surpassed by that of Rosado and family. The location was perfect for trips to Siena, Florence, Assisi, Perugia and Cortona, all of which we did along with wine tasting in the area. The local supermarket was a favorite destination, and could we ever forget the delicious meal prepared by Chef Barbara, certainly a night to remember. We cannot wait to return in the future!!

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsWe stayed at the Palazzo Rosadi with three other couples. Our visit was in mid-October and we cannot begin to describe what a wonderful experience it was.
Mr. Rosadi was most accommodating. We took advantage of the Extra Services offered: transfer by van with driver, which picked us up at our hotel in Florence and returned us at the end of the week, and car hire. This service was excellent…the van was prompt and it was very convenient to arrive at the property and have two cars waiting for us in the driveway.
In addition to greeting us and providing a tour of the property, Mr. Rosadi had a list of wonderful towns to visit, as well as restaurants. Visiting the small towns with their own individual charm was truly the way to enjoy the Tuscan region. Monterchi is delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed the Festival held the day after our arrival.
Now for the best part – the Palazzo Rosadi. This property is everything you see in the pictures and more. It is quaint, charming and comfortable. The house is over 200 years old, but it has been updated to the best standards without loosing any of its charm. After a day of visiting the surrounding towns and villages, sitting down with friends and a glass of wine on the back lawn, which had a spectacular view of the surrounding countryside, provided a beautiful ending to a beautiful day. Highly recommend.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsMy family stayed at Palazzo Rosadi in the very early summer. The location was ideal for touring in the Tuscany region. It is about 18 miles east of Arezzo, which is on the main north/south train line with frequent trains to Florence. The main north/south motorway also runs just west of Arezzo. We took the train to Arezzo and then rented two small cars (very large family) at the Avis facility right across the street from the train station.
The villa is lovely. It is very old but has had major renovation work done to put in bathrooms and new electric. Signor Rosadi, the owner, was delightful, helpful and a pleasure to work with. The villa has been in his family for almost two hundred years. It is well-maintained, spacious and quaint. It sits on the side of a hill and the views across into Umbria are fantastic.
We really liked the small village of Monterchi through which you have to travel going and coming from the villa. There is a very friendly osteria in town with excellent food. There are good cooking facilities in the villa and we cooked large, family style meals on a number of evenings. Arezzo has a very good supermarket about a block or two east of the train station. Good meat and cheese selection as well as fresh pasta. For produce, use the greengrocer along the road leading to Monterchi. Excellent produce, especially the tomatoes. Monterchi has a very friendly supermarket of its own but the selection is somewhat limited.
We had a great time. I heartily recommend Palazzo Rosadi if you are looking for a flexible, out-in-the-country experience.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsWe spent a week on our "grandparents" vacation at the Palazzo Rosadi beginning May 23, 2009 with our daughter, and her husband, his parents and our two granddaughters. It was a marvellous week. The Rosadis are friendly and accomodating. The house, the grounds, the pool are everything the pictures show and more. The countryside is what we dreamed Tuscany should be.
You will need a car and if possible, rent an automatic. Driving a manual transmission on the steep hills and tight parking spots is simply not fun. We took day trips to marvellous towns. Pienza was our favorite for its beauty and ease of parking which can be a major problem in other towns. Monterchi is a delight. We ate a very good dinner at the La Vecchis Osteria in the village. The owner of the only small grocery store makes his own wine which was surprisingly good.
We ate a very good, but expensive, dinner at the Risterante da Alighiero in the nearby town of Anghiari. The owner chef is from Germany and her husband offers an excellent wine menue.
We oviously recommend Plazzo Rossadi!

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsA lovely property located in a beautiful part of Tuscany. The panorama from the terrace/pool was magnificent especially during our stay which was in autumn. The colours of the trees were truly spectacular. Would love to visit during summer so that we can enjoy the pool area and smell the roses which we were told number 120!

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsPalazzo Roasadi is a great place for a group of friends. The garden / lawn was meticulously kept. Beautiful flowers, outdoor gathering areas. Fantastic view of the valley below and Monterchi. Family owned since 1700's. Painstakingly restored to give you a glimpse of Tuscan life. You can tell the family is proud of the home and their heritage.
Owner was there every morning to help with any questions we had. Arranged bicycles for us (they were delivered, fit to us and picked up when we were finished). Helped us with places to go (best Tuscan towns in the area), restaurant reservations, places to find food, etc. Owner's father cooked us a fantastic welcoming "Tuscan" dinner (complete with wine). Gave us history of the house, history of the area, etc.
Grounds were excellent. At the top of a hill in a small village. Great area to run, hike, walk or bike nearby. Our group travels one or twice per year together and we were very lucky to have found Palazzo Rosadi! We typically do not return to the same area each year, but if we did, we would definitely return to Palazzo Rosadi! Locals were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We had a wonderful vacation! Specialy thanks to the owners for their hosptiality. We felt that we were visiting friends more than paying guests!Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsOur group of 10 stayed at the property in July 2007. It was an absolutely amazing experience. The villa was everything it was promised and Rosado was extremly kind and helpful. The town of Monterchi is a wonderful escape from the tourist Italy that is Siena, Pisa, Florence. It is a wonderful little town of Italians, not tourists. The people were so kind and warm that we did not think such hospitality still existed. It is still a very reasonable drive to major tourist sites but it was always wonderful to come back to Monterchi. I would whole heartedly recommend Plazzo Rosadi to anyone. We have already booked for the summer of 2008. Ciao!

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsPalazzo Rosadi is located perfectly for touring Tuscany and Umbria. It has all the services and supplies you will need, great management, and outstanding views. The people in the area were very helpful and friendly. When we return to Tuscany there will be no other consideration, we will stay as a guest of Rosado again.

Excellent Villa Review Rating DetailsA wonderful rural villa with spectacular views and beautiful grounds. Good proximity to tourist towns (Cortona, Arezzo, Montalcino, etc.) but a car is a must for this villa. The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable.
