Arezzo is a beautiful Tuscan hill town and the weather has been perfect, making our two days apartment hunting here (so far) very pleasant. We arrived at the train station and walked through town to get to our B&B. The monthly antique fair was going on--street after street of furniture, knick knacks, pictures, and junk.

The B&B is in the center of town, a short walk to the cathedral and other historic sights.
This morning we met with a realtor and looked at an apartment right on Piazza Grande. It was cute but the kitchen and bathroom are too tiny. Great view of the piazza though. We have appointments with two other realtors tomorrow.

When we got back to the B&B the owners, Marissa and Giuseppe, told us they talked to a friend who has an apartment for rent near the duomo--2 bedrooms, nice view of 'the garden' (a big green public area) and "molto luminoso" (lots of light). We are going to look at it tomorrow--it would be great if it works out. Meanwhile here are a few closing shots of Arezzo.
