Welcome to Palazzolo:

a tenant family's house restructured for holiday use

Palazzolo that has been the house of a tenant family follows the traditional structure of these houses, which were constructed from different adjacent parts as the family grew in numbers. It was divided into two parts, a ground floor with stables and warehouses and a first floor where one climbed using the outside staircase and that contained the living quarters.

Recently restored with love and trying to conserve as much as possible her original structure, Palazzolo is today a single unit that — in her 320 square metres — in 5 bedrooms (three with double and two with normal single beds) can comfortably house 10 people.

The furnishing of Palazzolo has been done with great care and atten­tion and it combines the history of the family and the farm, since one has used as paintings reproductions of old photo­graphs and posters from the end of 1800s and the first two de­cades of 1900s. This addition of the touch of history does not take away the fact that the house is built with all modern comforts.

Outside of the house her guests have a spacious yard with both parasols and gazebos giving shade from the sun during hot summer months. In addition to these Palazzolo has a swimming-pool that one can use for a refreshing swim when the Sun seems to get too hot.

The house, although being very close to the provincial road connecting the vil­lage of Ponticelli to the town of Città della Pieve, is surrounded by the green co­lour of the farm's vineyards that sur­round it. Besides, from Palaz­zolo you have splendid panoramic views towards Città della Pieve, Mt. Cetona and the Chiana Valley.
