Hotel Continentale
Cento Passi Dal Duomo
As the name suggests, this cozy B&B is literally 100 steps from the Duomo. Host Gianfranco took pains to make sure we had plenty of recommendations for dining in Arezzo and the 3 we tried were all terrific, especially Cavour 42. Museums and the Medici Fortress are a short walk away.
