Graziella Patio Hotel

Arezzo


Each of the 10 rooms at this central hotel has decor inspired by Bruce Chatwin's travel books. Pink-kissed Arkady is the 'Australia room', Fillide exudes a distinctly Moroccan air and Cobra Verde is a green Amazon-inspired loft. Every room has a Macbook for guests to go online; wi-fi access on smartphones is pretty well non-existent.
