What’s not to love
We had a gorgeous 5 night stay in the ‘suite indipendant’which was …
Clean
Loads of room.
Cool (air conditioning upstairs and a fan in kitchen)
Lovely bathroom
Hot shower.
The gardens and pool were lovely, very clean and lots of choice and room to eat outside.
The host and her family (and gorgeous dog and cat) were lovely and On hand if need be for advice or help).
We could not fault the place for the money spent.
Had it be my business only thing I would change is to supply a little more than basic utensils for the kitchen.
The place sleeps 4.
We like to cook some days whilst on holiday so if you are planning to do the same I’ve just put a few little tips below that some may find useful.
No Sharp knife (chopping and bread knife)
My husband always brings his own (he’s the chef 😂) - we would have had to buy had he not as the utensils and knife supplied were shocking) you need a knife to cook!
There are glasses .. but only tiny tiny ones and 2 wine glasses (so if you want a beer or g&t there’s no glasses for those)
It’s not a pool holiday as you are there to see beautiful Tuscany but we did have a day chilling by pool.
There are no cushions on sunbeds apart from 3. So uncomfortable for more than an hour.
And felt sooooo uneasy about taking glass to the pool area … so will always be packing plastic from now on.
That’s it!
We had a fab 5 days … loved it xx

Lovely Tuscan Getaway
My husband and I travelled to Italy for our honeymoon and stayed 4 days at La Palazzina. The property and apartment are so beautiful and it’s tucked away in a quiet little part of Tuscany that’s easily accessible by car. We made day trips to San Gimignano, Panzano, Montalcino and Montepulciano and overall had the most amazing time. You won’t regret your stay here!

Perfect hilltop villa!
We had the best experience during our 7 night stay at La Palazzina! Our apartment was super charming. The area is very peaceful with great views. A perfect location for visiting the hill towns of Tuscany. Eloise and her husband were kind and had helpful advice for some of our excursions.

Absolutely Breathtaking
Eloise and her family were the most gracious hosts, sharing their property (freedom to explore and relax wherever we wanted) and time and cooking with us. We had a delicious home-cooked meal with ingredients from the farm, and got to taste their homemade olive oil, wine, salami, and more, and it was fantastic. The space itself was lovely and comfortable and had everything we needed. This was hands-down one of our favorite parts of our trip. The cat even hung out with us while we cooked! Dont hesitate, book this. Be aware you will greatly benefit from having a car while you are here though so you can explore!

The Perfect Getaway in the Country
If you are considering staying in the Siena region look no further. This is where you need to stay. Eloise and her family are just lovely. the grounds are amazing. Home cooked meals every day, dips in the pool, beautiful sunsets, everything you could ask for is here. This was my first time staying at an Agritourismo. I am so glad I found La Palazzina. It was like being a a scene from a movie, like Under the Tuscan Sun or Stealing Beauty. Eloise is the best host ever. All the food is grown by her family or locally purchased. Everything was fresh. I cannot wait to go back again! Thank you for your hospitality.

Authentic Tuscany
My husband and I spent five wonderful days at La Palazzina at the end of September 2016. We lodged in the Suite Independante which is on two levels. The ground flour houses the kitchen/living area while the upstairs has the bedroom with a very comfortable canopy bed and a large bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. The photos on VRBO reflect the property accurately. The accommodations are perfect. Our hosts, Eloise and Alessio, run the agriturismo. They grow grapes and make wine, they grow olive trees from which they make olive oil (sadly, we left before tasting it or taking some home with us), raise animals and have a vegetable garden. Yet, despite their very busy lives, they were always available to us when we needed them. We loved lounging by and swimming in the infinity pool where the nearby lavender bushes inebriated us with their perfume. Murlo is away from the tourist crowds but close enough to enjoy the beauty of Tuscany. 30 minutes to Siena, an hour to Chianti, 1.5 hours to Florence, you can take a day trip or stay close to home. We did both. We cooked meals in the Suite, took our plates and glasses of wine outside to take in the beautiful view. We also enjoyed very good meals at Bosco della Spina and at Il Libridinoso very close by. We would definitely return to La Palazzina.

Simple and yet you have everything you need.
Being there puts you in s state of total relaxation. The pool gives you the heavenly freshness you need on hot summer days. If you don’t feel like cooking or going out, the hostess prepares you delicious, fresh dinner.

Wat een prachtige streek...
Een mooie Agriturismo in een meer dan prachtige omgeving, geografisch gezien ook praktisch en centraal gelegen tussen allerlei mooie steden en landschappen. Een hartelijk welkom en behulpzame eigenaren. Maken zelf van alles, waaronder geweldige wijn voor een prima prijs. Inrichting vrij basis maar sfeervol en oke, open haard met gratis hout was heerlijk (en nodig in okt!), zwembad ook top. Zeker een aanrader, wel goed om te weten dat het appt geen 'eigen buiten' (privé terras) heeft, maar wel genoeg plekjes om te kunnen zitten. Auto noodzakelijk (dbz rest 3 km, supertje 5). Wij kijken terug op een heerlijk verblijf.
Tips: een flesje water en wat thee/koffie/kleine snacks bij ontvangst/aankomst, vooral als je aankomt na sluiting van winkels. Schoonmaak op hoogte heeft wat aandacht nodig (lampjes boven de spiegels en spinnenrag bijvoorbeeld), verder was het keurig. Nieuwe handdoeken aanschaffen, wel schoon maar beetje sleets.
