This hotel set in the heart of Arezzo, elegant and luxurious, an ideal place for a romantic escape, it offers splendid rooms and suites and a very special atmosphere inspired by Bruce Chatwin, the famous writer, but above all a famous traveller.

Graziella Patio Hotel is the name of a graceful inn located in the historical centre of the city of Arezzo. This was a recent purchase sensibly restructured by Graziella Relais in order to welcome its clients and loyal customers as well as everyone who, by coming to Arezzo, wish to have a non standard high quality stay at a reasonable cost. It's an elegant and comfortable "hotel de charme" possessing only nine suites. Each is decorated in a different style inspired on the tales of a great traveller and writer: Bruce Chatwin.

The suites of this Hotel, the only one located in one of the oldest buildings in the Arezzo hystorical center, are inspired by the adventures of the explorer and traveler Bruce Chatwin. Try to imagine the "ever travelling" "Man's true home is not a house, it's the road. Life itself is a trip to be made on foot."
