We enjoyed our stay at the Continentale very much. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. They were able to suggest some lovely places to visit by car, e.g. Cortona and Montepulciano and some very good restaurants. Breafast only meal available. Everything very good except for the coffee which was poor. An excellent restaurant nearby was the Osteria Mercantile which was recommended by the Receptionist/Concierge.

This hotel was exactly what I was looking for--close to the train station, close to the city, providing easy access to the antique fair as well as all the sights. While there was a slight mosquito problem in my room, the staff was very helpful and provided me with two plug-ins as well as additional tablets. I had a great stay and would certainly return.

This was our first time in Arezzo. We were there for the antiques market. The Hotel Conintentale was perfectly situated for easy access to the entire city as well as to the train station. It was a terrific experience. We didn't have hotel breakfast, though, as it seemed expensive. A coffee bar across the street (Bar Blu?)was fabulous with great Sicilian pastries. We would return to this hotel in a heartbeat. And to Arezzo, a city with beautiful parks, lots of history, and a terrific Saturday night passegiata.

Date of Stay: May, 2008
Overall a thoroughly pleasant stay. Staff were friendly and efficient and a couple of very minor problems were resolved quickly and amicably. Pleasant surroundings if lacking a little in character. The hotel web site gives a good representation of the actual situation on the ground.

From the moment we entered the lobby until the second we left, the staff went all out to make our stay outstandingly pleasant. Train times were found on line and printed, information about restaurants provided, directions to interesting places were given and more. I have never stayed at a more delighteful hotel. It was just like home.

After a long business week, it was a very confortable place to sleep...The hotel is very nice, a big room with all the things you need,the bathroom with bathtub, for business people is the best when you need to get some relax! The breakfast was complete and the employees were very polite and helpful. I do recommend this hotel. And I'll stay in this place next time...

Date of Stay: October, 2007
We were there for the antique fair - location was convenient. Room was small/crowded. This was the only place we stayed in Italy where there was confusion about breakfast inclusion and we were unhappy to be charged extra. It added considerably to the cost of the room.

I really liked this hotel, but they need to upgrade their computer for the guests' use. It is an ancient Imac. They really need a newer model.

Date of Stay: April, 2007
I stayed at this hotel in April 2007. It is in a good location for exploring Arezzo--which I thoroughly enjoyed. I had some of the best food during my two months in Italy in Arezzo. It is a standard hotel--comfortable and modern. However, the staff was exceptional. I was stranded in Arezzo due to a rail strike and the gentleman at reception did everything in his power to help me by phoning car rental agencies, coaches, etc. I ended up staying an extra night which allowed me to enjoy more of the great food.
