Anniversary celebration for parents
To celebrate my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary, we gathered in Tuscany for a week in April and Villa Dipendenza at La Palazzina was wonderful. Eloise and her family are very gracious and welcoming, the property of beautiful, the Villa was clean and well supplied and Eloise was very attentive to our needs. She and her family cooked 2 lovely dinners for our group of 8 and we enjoyed breakfast every morning we were there. The Villa has wonderful authentic Tuscan charm, the beds and rooms were comfortable, we had fires in the fireplace and I can’t recommend La Palazzina enough. Thank you for a fabulous stay! Grazie Mille! Catalina & family

Fantastic stay
We spent a week at this charming property and had an absolutely magical time with friends. The house was cozy and comfortable, with a beautiful balcony perfect for enjoying evening meals. The shared pool offered breathtaking views, and the other guests were incredibly friendly, adding to the warm atmosphere. Our host, Eloise, was exceptional—her hospitality and attention to detail made our stay even more special. She provided wonderful restaurant recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed. We can't thank her enough for such a memorable experience!

Beautiful, clean, historic, and excellent, kind hospitality.
We stayed here after several nights in Rome to enjoy some time in the country and did day trips to Florence, Montepulciano, and Montalcino. We loved the breathtaking floral gardens, views, cooling off in the pool, and kind hospitality. We stayed in the former church and had plenty of space for our family of nine. Everything was super clean.
Splurge on the dinner. Eloise will cook you plenty of delicious food.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!
This place is not to be missed! The location is great (you will need a car to get there). We rented the 4 bedroom cottage and it was perfect. 3 bedrooms and lots of space. Eloise and her family were wonderful. She will cook you dinner (it's a must do!) as well as breakfast. The dinner was 4 courses and each one was amazing. The location is serene, Olive groves, goats, cows, chickens and more. The pool was a bit chilly in April but that did not stop us from going in. Can't wait to go back!

Holiday and wedding
Amazing location and very helpful and friendly hosts. Pool area and grounds were beautiful and well maintained.
Having three very young children and with two of them being one years old we had issues with safety. The high chairs provided were unsafe and the many awkward steps within the property were a hazard. Stair gates would have made a big difference. The cooker needed a proper guard against potential accidents.
The addition of air conditioning would have been welcomed.
The directions received via the app were not accurate. No reference made to La Palazzina.

Relaxing, rejuvenating, radient
Eloise was a wonderful hostess, always there when we needed her. The property is comfortable, clean and a delight. We had plenty of room in our villa for the seven of us. Eloise made us breakfast as well as a sumptuous dinner one evening, which we ate al fresco. The vegetables came fresh from the garden. Delicious! And the 'house wine' was wonderful!
If you plan to cook, you may want to bring along extra spices and seasonings as the kitchen is well equipped with dishes, pots and pans, but is a bit light on the spice rack. We ran out of a few things and Eloise was quick to bring us refills, including coffee one morning, which held us over until we could make it to the local market.
Plenty of room to get out and about. The property itself is stunningly beautiful. The pool was still open (we were there in late September and early October) and while it was chilly, it was refreshing and provided a quiet place to relax in the sun.
We walked about the property and a few other trails suggested by Eloise, meeting other travelers on their own walk about. Just 20 minutes south of Siena, there is much to do in the area.
All in all, we had a delightful rest for seven days and nights. The night provided beautiful skies filled with stars. The days were mostly filled with sunshine and the fragrant scents of trailing flowers on the vine.
Thank you!

Tuscany dream
This property is gorgeous and Eloise and Franco were such amazing hosts! Here is a summary of what we loved but you'll have to reserve a spot yourself in order to truly experience this amazing place.
-Natural charm of the building we stayed in with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything was clean and ready to go
-Our hosts cooked for us one of the nights and it was delicious. Fresh meat and cheese tray, beef roast, wild boar, and dessert. All from product on their property.
-The setting was very picturesque with amazing sunsets
-Only 30 minute drive to Sienna and Montolcino. I recommend going to both of these spots.
-5 minute drive from a nice grocery store in Murlo which was perfect as we had a full kitchen and were able to make our own meals a couple of the nights we stayed
-Again I'll mention how wonderful the hosts were. So nice and accommodating. Both speak English in case you do not know Italian.
Enjoy your stay - we certainly did!!

Rustic charm and stunning landscapes in the heart of Tuscany.
This a rustic but well maintained and beautifully landscaped property with stunning vistas of the Tuscan countryside. The hosts are charming and solicitous of their guests, and cook fabulous meals from their own garden and livestock. Well worth the trip.

A Gorgeous Spot in Tuscany
We had a lovely stay here with family. A reunion of 11 people, and we fit nicely in the larger villa. The pool area is very nice, and the hosts are very gracious to allow families to swim at any hour. Meals can be arranged if desired. We chose to do this once (for the day we arrived only). There is a small grocery store 15 minutes away by car and the larger villa comes with a full kitchen so it was easier for us to cook for the family.
Our host was also very helpful in providing recommendations for things to do in the area. You must have your own car to explore. We drove to Montalcino on a few occasions to have lunch or dinner. The wineries are everywhere but our favorites were the Mozart Winery and the Solaria Winery. Siena is about a 30 minute drive and worth seeing.
All in all, a great spot for larger groups, and families. The hosts are very welcoming and the grounds are gorgeous, complete with their own garden, pool area, and lounging areas with beautiful Tuscan views.
We love Tuscany and will certainly come again!

Eloise is a wonderful host
The home is exactly as advertised. The location is perfect to visit Siena, Florence, Pisa, and many other great locations. Eloise recommended several restaurants during our stay that were charming and very delicious homemade pasta. We accepted Eloise's offer to cook us dinner one evening and we were very happy with the wild boar ragu, homemade pasta with bolognese, homemade breads and apple pie! To accompany we also enjoyed the olive oil and chianti, both made on the farm - very scrumptious!

Charming farmhouse, great for families
My husband and I brought our 4 teenage sons to Italy and spent a few days in Tuscany. This farmhouse is very charming, and Eloise and her family are wonderful. We were there a bit too early for the pool to be open, but it seems as if it would be lovely in the summer. It is in a great location and we ate at a good restaurant nearby as well as cooked at home. My only advice would be to bring some basics like salt, paper towels, olive oil, coffee. There are cooking utensils and plates, glassware, etc. Very sweet family and good place to stay.

Wonderful Vacation Stay in Tuscany
We had a wonderful time at La Palazzina with our group of 18 people. During the day our kids hung out by the pool with other children there and we spent our evenings together in the big house and were able to enjoy our family dinners together. Eloise helped us find the local shops needed to taste the local flavours of the region.
Would love to go back to visit again.

Séjour fantastique !
Nous étions 8 québécois qui avons séjourné dans ce magnifique havre de paix. Une maison Toscane authentique. Le premier soir, nous avions demandé à Éloïse de nous faire la cuisine et ce fut délicieux. Très bien située pour visiter la région. Il faisait exceptionnellement froid pour la fin du mois de mai, nous avons apprécié se faire des feux de foyer. A recommander sans hésitation.
