Agriturismo Il Palagio di Panzano

It was great to find an old farmhouse dating from the 1700s which has, kept almost all its original features. The interiors have the original, rough, small stone walls and haven't been plastered over or painted. Monia's philosophy of genuine, old Tuscan hospitality is evident. Valentino the chef is very round and jolly and definitely adds to the homely atmosphere of the kitchen.

Absolutely lovely place. Photographs cannot do it justice. We were there with five small children, in low season so the pool was not open, but that was not a problem as it is a beautiful place with peace and lots of room to run about. The little town is very close, with the old church minutes away, a couple of ice-cream options and a world-famous butcher, plus restaurants. We had no car but it would be helpful if you wanted to explore further. Monia was a really exceptional help, including sourcing a superb driver to and from Florence airport, Food was wonderful and very plentiful.

Palagio di Panzano is a truly wonderful place to stay. Monia and Irene could not have been more welcoming and nothing was ever too much trouble. The location is perfect, being equidistant between Siena and Florence and in the heart of Chianti, with the gorgeous town of Panzano only 5 minutes away. The views are incredible and genuinely breathtaking. We stayed with my in-laws and our two children (6 and 2) and we all had a wonderful time - I can’t recommend highly enough.

We enjoyed a one-week stay to celebrate 50th birthdays and our 21st wedding anniversary! Il Palagio and the nearby town of Panzano were better than we could have imagined. It is rare when online photos don’t do justice to the in-person experience. The grounds and villa of il Palagio are absolutely beautiful and rustic while still including little elegant touches everywhere. We stayed in il Torre, the largest apartment and LOVED the private balcony. The pool and grounds are divine. Service is excellent.

Il Palagio is the most beautiful place we've ever stayed in: not just the glorious views of rolling hills dotted with vineyards but the apartments themselves are spacious and luxuriously appointed. The service is fantastic with regular cleaning by discreet and thoughtful staff, a brilliant chef on site from whom you can preorder delicious lunches and dinners to eat on your terrace. We all felt so well looked after. And it's a short stroll to some great restaurants in Panzano
