Uitstekend 5 /5We 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
