Overview
Old farmhouse, full equipped, very suitable for small groups or large familie
Palazzolo is a farmhouse surrounded by farm vineyards and part of a farm of about 490 acres. It has a private and fenced swimming pool 6x12m (i.e. 20x39 feet) in size and a private garden, with a beautiful view on Chiana Valley and Mt. Cetona and on Città della Pieve. Palazzolo is a self-catering unit suitable for families or groups of max. 10 people willing to combine a relaxing holiday in the countryside with the chance to visit places with archaeological, artistic and natural beauties in Tuscany, Umbria and Latium. Our house can be used as a starting point for daytrips to Florence, Rome, Siena, Cortona, Perugia, Assisi, Orvieto, Chianti, and the Trasimeno Lake area as well as other beautiful destinations (i.e. Mount Amiata). The house combines the comfort of a villa with the rural location of an old farm-house and provides you with plenty of space to live in. If you come from Scandinavia, one of us speaks Finnish and Swedish. Since September 2015 we have to collect on behalf of the Municipality a tourist tax of 0,90 euro that is due only for the first 5 nights and only by the person who are at least 14 years old

Wonderful!

Wonderful and great location!
We loved staying at Palazzolo in Citta della Pieve. The house is very well appointed and also very comfortable. We spent most of our time at the kitchen, having meals at the covered table outside the kitchen, and the pool. It has beautiful views and is surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. The house is perfectly located at the border between Tuscany and Umbria, so you can easily get to great towns in Tuscany (Montepulciano and Montalcino) as well as must-see towns in Umbria (Assisi, Orvieto, Spoleto, Montefalco, etc). The house is a 5 minute drive to Citta della Pieve, which is a beautiful medieval town that has great restaurants. Maria and Heikki couldn't have been more accommodating. I highly recommend this house and would return if I go back to the area.
Another wonderful visit to Citta della Pieve
This was our second visit to this home. An excellent house for groups of 6 to 10. I would highly recommend the location and the home.
A perfect place for a vacation
The property is lovely. Everthing is neat and the owners are very helpful. The house is big enough for two families to stay in and the pool is superb with the gated fence surrounding it.
Beautiful views everywhere!
We stayed at this beautiful villa with another family and so enjoyed our week there. Maria and her husband have created such an amazing setting among their vineyards and the views of the Umbrian/Tuscan countryside were even better than the pictures shown. Maria was always available if we had questions and the house was very clean upon arrival. We did not want to leave the property even though we had many hilltop towns to visit within an hour or less drive! The kids (and the adults!) spent many days in the large, perfectly kept pool. The house is set up really well for 2 families, with 2 equally lovely master bedrooms on the 2nd floor and 3 other bedrooms for the kids to choose from. The nearby village of Citta della Pieve is charming and makes for an easy place to grab a bite to eat or to stop and get snacks for the house. We will always remember our week in this beautiful setting! Oh...one important tip -- be sure to use the coordinates that Maria gives you to find the house the first time!
Thank you for the marvelous holiday
We spent our first summer holiday in Italy in the fantastic farmhouse of Maria and Heikki. Climate was awesome, the house, garden and swimming pool were wonderful and regularly cleaned. No question was too much for Maria and Heikki. They showed us around in the area, gave us tips and tricks for site-seeing, shopping and dining. We drove quite a few kilometers but all villages and cities were fantastic to visit and we made beautiful pictures. And in the evenings we enjoyed the swimming pool, the garden and the nice Italian food. Thank you very much !!!!
We had an amazing time in this charming farmhouse!
This spacious farmhouse was everything we imagined with the most beautiful vistas. The kitchen was well-equipped, great dining space and the bedrooms were super comfortable. Out behind us was a beautiful vineyard and olive groves. We were in close driving distance to the most charming village we went to everyday --Citta Della Pieve. Our hosts were very accommodating and pointed us in the right direction for all the local sights. We did easy day trips to Assisi, Siena and Florence. We couldn't have asked for more. Loved it!
Map
Palazzolo is located in Umbria, close the border of Tuscany (less than 5 km), in an area initially populated by the Etruscans, and thus many archaeological findings discovered in the neighbourhood can be seen in the museum of Chiusi and in some tombs. To the north of Palazzolo lies the Trasimeno lake; it is surrounded by old villages, where there are many towers and castles, and it has 3 islands (2 can be visited by boat). On the west side there are Chiana and Orcia valleys (UNESCO heritage site). The agricultural landscape is suggestive, with plenty of vineyards and olive groves, and in the area are located wineries producing good wines and olive mills. Nearby there are many small towns, that are rich in ancient remains from Etruscan, Roman and medieval times and also in thermal spas. At the Umbrian side, there are cities like Perugia, Orvieto and Assisi, which are impressive for their beauty and for the artistic and archaeological heritage.
