"It's hard to find new words to describe the beautiful Tuscan land and the cities that sit on its hillsides. Arezzo is no exception with its park at the top and the bold Gothic cathedral, the City Palace and the Medici Fortress nearby. The main square is the Piazza Grand with a mix of architectural styles from Romanesque to Gothic, Renaissance and baroque. Just behind the square is the largest and most beautiful church in the Arezzo region, Santa Maria della Pieve. It's Tower of a Hundred Holes is one of the emblems of Arezzo.
We were very impressed with Piero della Francesca's extraordinary frescoes depicting The Legend of the True Cross in Basilica di San Francesco in Piazza S. Francesco. Across the way is the legendary Caffe die Costanti, with its glittering mirrors, red marble tables and wood furnishings. The smell of good coffee lures you inside, the pastries and ice creams grab your attention and patrons enjoying the antipasto bar and panini seals your fate. We had other plans so we just used the washrooms but had the best laugh of the day when we spotted the library of telephone books on the way."
