You arrive at Arezzo’s station under a low Tuscan sun, luggage in hand and the scent of simmering soffritto already thick in the air. A short drive follows along cypress-lined lanes to a three-bedroom villa where the kitchen becomes the day’s theater: copper pans, a chef’s call, and a breakfast table laid with local bread and olive oil.
