Apartment Margherita

Hotel Description

You know what surprised me about Apartment Margherita? It’s actually tucked away on this quiet residential street just off the main drag, but you’re literally a five-minute walk from the medieval center of Arezzo. I mean, you can practically hear the church bells from Pieve di Santa Maria in the morning – which is either charming or annoying depending on how you feel about 7 AM wake-up calls (honestly, I loved it).

The apartment itself feels like staying at your well-traveled Italian friend’s place, if that friend happens to have excellent taste in furniture and obsessively clean bathrooms. The kitchen is properly equipped – not just some sad mini-fridge situation – so you can actually hit the Saturday market in Piazza Grande and cook up some of those incredible vegetables the vendors are shouting about. The whole place has this warm, lived-in feeling with terra cotta tiles and these gorgeous wooden shutters that keep things cool during those brutal Tuscan afternoons. What really got me was the attention to detail… there’s good coffee (not instant, thank god), the shower has proper water pressure, and the Wi-Fi actually works in every room. Small things, but they matter when you’re trying to video call home or upload photos of the Basilica di San Francesco.

The location is sort of perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in Arezzo rather than just passing through. Viale Santa Margherita is this tree-lined street where you’ll see locals walking their dogs and kids playing – it’s real neighborhood life, not tourist central. But here’s the thing: you can walk to Corso Italia for dinner, hit the antique market on the first Sunday of the month, or catch a train to Florence (it’s only an hour) without dealing with any of the chaos. The host, Margherita herself, actually lives nearby and responds to messages instantly – she even left restaurant recommendations that weren’t just the obvious tourist traps. I still think about this tiny osteria she suggested where the pasta was handmade and cost maybe twelve euros. The 8.9 rating makes total sense when you consider you’re getting genuine hospitality, not just clean sheets and a key code.

Reviews

• Extremely pleasurable, very come to center square! – Keith from United States – 8 November 2024 (10/10)

  It was large and beautiful, host Fabio was very welcoming and helpful. Free parking right next door

• A fabulous apartment in a fabulous town, especially if you love cakes and pastries! – Caroline from United Kingdom – 15 October 2024 (10/10)

  We stayed for a week in September at Apartment Margherita and loved it ! It was our first visit to Arezzo and we absolutely loved the town.
  The apartment is a 15 minute stroll into the old town which is beautiful with lots to see and many wonderful places to eat.
  The apartment is large, modern with everything you need but the marvellous thing about it ( and why I booked it) is the pasticceria Clemente below !! This is where you have breakfast each morning….and what a treat to sit with the locals and choose from an unbelievable display of cakes and pastries !!! Fabio is a truly wonderful host, very hard working and super friendly. He bakes the many wonders !!
  We would certainly stay here again. Arezzo is a great spot to explore other Tuscan towns if you’ve already seen the main attractions. It’s quieter but still plenty to see and a square just as stunning as the top towns.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing at all.

• A great place to stay in Arezzo – Richard from United Kingdom – 31 August 2024 (9/10)

  Great location, lovely apartment. Nice big balcony. Parking was very close by and we got our choice of breakfast pastries from the shop below each day. Fabio and his team were friendly and helpful. It was a short walk through the city walls into the centre.
  
  What could be improved: Very little. Being picky, the large kitchen whilst generally well equiped, lacked wine glasses and normal sized pans,

• An excellent stay, Fabio made us feel very welcome. – Dr from United Kingdom – 23 June 2024 (10/10)

  Breakfast was supplied at the Pasticcheria by Fabio and family, and the pastries were wonderful. The location was also great, located just outside one of the historic gates of Arezzo.

• The owner was so helpful and went out of his way for us. Generous choice of breakfast, just below apartment in the baker – Martin from United Kingdom – 4 October 2023 (9/10)

  A modern clean apartment with a balcony overlooking the countryside. Central location just outside the walls to the old town. It was equipped and quiet. Would highly recommend.

• Great apartment near historic centre – Casey from Australia – 19 August 2023 (10/10)

  Great sized apartment. Loved the terrace. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment to make a meal. Big TV and sound system. Washing machine included. 15min walk to historic centre.
  Pastry shop downstairs is great.
  Highly recommend!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Exceptional – Teodora from Serbia – 11 September 2022 (10/10)

  The apartment is spacious, clean, with comfortable beds and sofa. There is fully equiped kitchen as well. Bathrom is clean, towels provided.
  The best thing is big terrace with magnificent view on Tuscan hills where you can truly enjoy your morning coffee. After that, you can get downstairs to coffee shop next door for typical italian breakfast (included in price).
  All compliments to our lovely host Fabio, who greeted us warmly and kept sure that everything was going well.

• Absolutely wonderful! Exactly what we need – very kind people, very nice place. – Elena from Romania – 2 August 2022 (10/10)

  The location is fabulous, the apartment is much more beautiful and comfortable than in the pictures. The hosts are extremely kind, with impeccable customer service. They didn't know what else to offer us and what else to do to make us feel as at home as possible. We easily became friends with this extraordinary family. On the ground floor they have a pastry shop with addictive goodies. Very delicious breakfast. Abdo prepares some original cappuccinos, never seen before. Thank you Abdo, Slim and all your wonderful family and colleagues! It was very difficult for us to say goodbye, because we were emotionally attached to both the wonderful place and these extraordinary people. We will definitely come back!

• Very good – Teodora from Serbia – 27 October 2024 (8/10)

  Terasse is nice, apartment is large, kitchen has everything.
  
  What could be improved: Beds were a bit uncomfortable.

• Great location but with a few little updates it would be better – Karen from Australia – 27 March 2025 (6/10)

  The location was great but the apartment could have been a little cleaner. Fabio seemed nice but as he was working in his shop downstairs, he didn’t really go through everything with us. We had a nice breakfast from his shop and there was parking available which was very convenient for us.
  
  What could be improved: There was no hand soap and the outdoor tables and chairs need updating as they were rusted and we couldn’t use it.
