Alba Morus Bed & Breakfast sentiti a casa nel cuo

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of B&Bs across Tuscany, but Alba Morus actually feels like someone’s home – and I mean that in the best possible way. The moment you walk through the door on Via Santa Cristina, you’re not checking into some sterile hotel lobby. Instead, you’re stepping into this warm, lived-in space where the owner clearly put thought into every corner. The name literally translates to “feel at home in the heart,” which honestly sounds a bit cheesy until you’re actually there sipping morning coffee and realize… yeah, that’s exactly what’s happening.

The location is pretty perfect if you ask me. Via Santa Cristina runs through one of those quieter residential areas where you’ll hear church bells in the morning instead of traffic, but you’re still only a ten-minute walk from the historic center. I mean, you can literally see the Duomo from some of the windows. What really struck me was how the owner knows all the little shortcuts – like which café opens earliest for proper espresso (not the tourist traps near Piazza Grande) and where to park for free if you’re driving in. The rooms themselves have this authentic Tuscan feel without going overboard with the rustic thing. Clean lines, quality linens, and – this matters more than you’d think – really good water pressure in the shower. Plus, the whole place is quiet. You know how some B&Bs have paper-thin walls where you hear every footstep? Not here.

What sets Alba Morus apart, though, is the breakfast situation. We’re talking homemade pastries, local honey, and the kind of coffee that makes you understand why Italians are so particular about it. The owner sources stuff from nearby farms, and you can taste the difference. I actually ended up extending my stay an extra night because – well, partly because Arezzo deserves more than a quick stopover, but also because I genuinely didn’t want to leave. The whole experience feels authentic in a way that’s getting harder to find. You’re not just sleeping somewhere; you’re getting a real slice of how people actually live in this part of Italy. For a 4-star place with a 9.2 rating, the prices are surprisingly reasonable too, especially considering you’re getting that personal touch you simply can’t find at chain hotels.

  Fabulous location to visit many many medieval hilltop villages nearby. Quiet and beautifully maintained property. The pool was wonderful at the end of a busy day. Vittorio is a very thoughtful and kind host. He is also a brilliant cook. On 2 occasions he cooked dinner and it was amazing. He also prepares a delicious and very generous breakfast. We loved our 5 night stay.

• Great Tuscany get away, will go back for sure! – Bailey from Germany – 14 April 2023 (8/10)

  The breakfast was perfect (Fresh breads/fruits/yogurt/eggs/ham/Juice/Coffee). The beds were very comfortable and the place had all the conveniences inside the room. Keep in mind that it is a Bed and Breakfast, so the kitchen is community shared.

• Weekend to visit Cortona – Royzaply from Italy – 5 August 2024 (9/10)

  The location is amazing near Cortona, Castiglion Fiorentino, Montepulciano and Arezzo. I've appreciated the welcome and the treatment for the dog without charge. The breakfast is simple but good and the pool is amazing.
  
  What could be improved: It is convenient to create an area to dry costumes and pool towels. Clean some underwater corners of the pool
