About this house rental
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. 10-12 people + 2-3 babies 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. The swimming pool is generally open from the first week of June to the last week of September. 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 1,00 euro/person/night that is due only for the first 5 nights and only by the person who are at least 14 years old

This was a week long birthday party. Friends and family came together from Europe and the USA. I could not have chosen a better place. The farmhouse is just perfect. The setting is superb. The hosts are charming, kind and unbelievably helpful. We had a superb time and want to thank Maria and her husband for their care and kindness. The town, Citta della Pieve - just up the hill, is enchanting. We hiked, we dined, we wine tasted, we explored hilltop towns. We had a phenomenal time. A fairy tale come true.

We stayed here for 3-4 weeks in the month of September with our family of 14.
We had our Grandparents, parents and kids with room and space for all of us.
The farmhouse was very clean, spacious and actually better than advertised.
The property was in great shape, the pool was the cleanest of any vacation that we have done.
You are close to many small villages/towns, wineries, train station; all within 15 minutes.
Maria was an amazing host that went above and beyond to ensure our stay met expectations. From having some food and wine ready for us at the house when we arrived, to cleaning the pool every morning, having fresh linens whenever needed, a clean of the house once per week, and helping with any local recommendations that we needed; Maria helped every step of the way.
Thank you again Maria!

We had a lovely stay at Citta della Pieve. Lots of space and the house was spotless with everything we needed. The pictures on the website did not do justice to the house and surroundings - even better than I expected (and I had high expectations!).
The pool area is spacious and inviting and the pool itself brilliant for our keen swimmer teenager and adults. Quite deep though - would need to keep a close eye on novice-swimmers.
Maria and her team were very helpful and we very much enjoyed our holiday.

We spent a week in this lovely house which is spacious and private. Lots of rooms and bathrooms. A nice kitchen and access to two refrigerators and a big freezer for ice and ice cream. Lovely pool which was cleaned every morning.Very beautiful landscape and view. Very nice host who responded immediately to every question. We recommend it and would definately consider coming back. With two small kids, aged 2 and 4, we furthermore appreciated that the pool area is fenced and can be locked.

Besser als exzellent 👌🏽
Mit dem Titel dieser Bewertung ist wirklich nichts übertrieben dargestellt … nicht nur das Haus ist wunderschön, traditionell Italienisch eingerichtet und alles wie auf den Bildern gezeigt sondern auch die Umgebung in der dieses sich befindet ist top.
Das Anwesen ist riesig in Mitten von Weinbergen - perfekt, um entspannt seinen Urlaub zu verbringen.
Der Pool wird früh morgen nach Absprache immer frisch gerichtet und ist ebenfalls super schön.
Maria (Vermieterin) und ihr Mann sind zuvorkommend und super freundlich. Die beiden kümmern sich sogar um die Organisation von Extrawünsche, wie zum Beispiel einer Weinverkostung.
Alles in allem einfach nur ein Traum 💭

Perfect Property!
We are two families comprising 4 adults and 5 teenagers. We had the most wonderful stay here! The property is even more beautiful than it appears in the listing. It is incredibly spacious and is beautifully open plan which means plenty of room for everyone whilst still allowing us to be together. Maria met us upon arrival and explained everything we needed to know about the property, she even led us to the closest supermarket in Chiusi so we wouldn’t lose our way. The property has everything you could possibly need for your stay and the views from the terrace are spectacular. The swimming pool was perfect and I have never had more comfortable sun loungers on any holiday. The closest town, Citta della Pieve, is just beautiful with fantastic restaurants and quaint, narrow, cobbled streets. Maria was on hand to answer any questions or queries that we had and was a very gracious host. Cannot recommend this property highly enough!!

Large, nice house in a quiet location, yet close to Citta della Pieve.
Very nice house with large swimming pool. Amazing view and quiet location, yet close to restaurants and shops in Citta della Pieve.
Maria and her husband are very nice people who are always willing to help.
Ideally located to visit Umbria and the south of Tuscany.
We had a wonderful vacation!

Uitstekend familiehuis
Groot huis, grote tuin, mooie ruime slaapkamers en badkamers, heel veel privacy, prachtig terras en diverse overdekte plekken om in de schaduw te kunnen zitten. Prachtig afsluitbaar ( belangrijk met kleinere kinderen) ruim zwembad. Minpunt is, weliswaar afhankelijk van de windrichting, dat er heel veel treinen passeren wat echt geluidsoverlast geeft. Uitzicht is schitterend. Uitstekend verzorgd en schoon, zeer vriendelijke en servicegerichte eigenaren.

We had a fantastic stay at Maria’s beautiful villa. The house fully catered for 10 guests.
Amazing house with breath-taking views. Private and spacious living accommodation which worked for adults and teens. The pool is wonderful and offers loads of sunshine with views to the vineyards . Excellent!

Beautiful views, helpful accommodating hosts, wonderfully appointed property offering seclusion.
We loved the location; the property offered us privacy with superb facilities but with easy access to a beautiful hilltop village offering superb dining and fabulous history to experience. The property was brilliantly appointed and Maria made sure we had essentials left for us; she couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. The view across the hillside were spectacular.

Everything was perfect !!
The pictures of this home do not do it justice, Palazzolo is much bigger than it looks! All rooms inside the house are big with plenty of open space. You could easily accommodate 2 families with their own space on separate upper floors (We only needed the middle floor to sleep our family). The pool is big and deep with amazing views over the valleys. Only a few hundred metres from the main road, but you feel total seclusion from everyone else if you like your privacy. Maria was absolutely lovely to deal with and left us alone to enjoy our time there. Whenever we did need to contact her, she responded quickly and always made us feel looked after. The town 'Citta della Pieve' is a beautiful and interesting medieval town, with some great places to eat at very reasonable prices if you have kids. We know we will be back, it's perfect!

Beautifully situated, amazing views, wonderful swimming pool
Family and friends stayed here with us and we enjoyed a glorious week of sunshine. We all completely relaxed, and had a really chilled week, and even found it difficult to leave the pool and visit our favourite cafe/bar in Citta della Pieve! The farmhouse was very spacious, cool and comfortable. We had our dinner on the balcony overlooking the hills, where we would stay to chat and eat late into the evening. The house was close to the town of Citta della Pieve, and although we had camper vans we had no trouble parking. We had a wonderful time at Sienna, but beware if you take a camper van as they will charge you over £20 to park as it is the same amount if you are staying overnight. It is definitely worth having dinner in the famous square in Sienna and watch the sunset. We would definitely like to come back again one day.

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.

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.

Maison très agréable et grande.
Un grand merci à Maria qui, malgré une arrivée très tardive (avion annulé et perte des bagages), nous a attendu jusqu'à 23h!, nous a proposé de nous faire quelques courses pour ne pas être sans rien à notre arrivée, et cela avec toujours beaucoup de gentillesse.
La maison est très spacieuse, la literie est très bonne, la piscine est un vrai paradis, sécurisée pour les enfants pour une très grande tranquillité. Le jardin est suffisamment grand et il y a quelques jeux pour les enfants avec un badminton par exemple.
Service irréprochable, Maria a même géré avec la compagnie aérienne pour nous ramener nos bagages, de bons conseils sur les endroits à visiter, bref, c'était vraiment un très bon moment.

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!

Vacances merveilleuses !
Lors de votre arrivée, vous découvrez l'espace de cette maison et de cette propriété. Elle est fidèle à la description du site, je dirai même en dessous. Elle est bien mieux que cela : vue exceptionnelle, propriété extrêmement propre, literies formidables, beaucoup d'espace, tout est là qui vous attend, les produits d'entretien, le linge, les livres, et les superbes cadeaux dès votre arrivée. Nous étions 5 adultes, mais aurions pu être 10. Nous avons grandement profité de la superbe piscine parfaitement entretenue, et bien sur d'une situation géographique qui nous mettait à portée de toutes les merveilles de l'Ombrie et de la Toscane. Si vous ne connaissez pas l'Ombrie, nous vous recommandons cette région, dont la campagne est aussi belle voire plus que celle de la Toscane avec autant de choses à visiter, la foule en moins. Les gens sont charmants, la région et ses villes extrêmement propres.
Un grand merci à Maria et Giorgio pour leur accueil, leur gentillesse, ils sont à vos petits soins, tout en restant discrets. Maria nous a ouvert sa maison, et nous la remercions chaudement pour cela, et rêvons de revenir dès que possible. La ville la plus proche : Citta della Pieve est magnifique,, restaurants délicieux, et tous les villages environnants sont superbes, sans compter bien sur Assise, Pérouse, Orvieto, Arezzo... et l'Ombrie étant le berceau tant des Etrusques que du Pérugin (à des siècles d'écart !), vous avez compris, courrez vite chez Maria.
Marie-Noëlle et ses amis.

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!

Gorgeous Stone Farmhouse completely new inside
The house exceeded my expectations. Very large, with 4 bathrooms, lovely custom tiles in the bathrooms, wood and glass doors, on a vineyard/ olive orchard, beautiful swimming pool! Photos throughout of the home in its original form and use. Very kind owners, left us olive oil and cherry preserves made from the property crops. My family and I will be back!

Two week holiday
We arrived to this beautiful house in the end of June. A kind couple, who were the owners of the house, were waiting for us. They gave us advice in practical problems and helped us to enjoy our two-week's holiday. The house and its surroundings were even lovelier than we had seen in the pictures. The house has lots of room for a big group. The kitchen equipment for cooking was good. The location on the hill was nice with the green peaceful scenery and breeze. On the morning, it was enjoyable to go swimming and then spend some time on the lovely yard and have breakfast. Sometimes in the evening, after one day trip to other cities, we sat in the garden and searched stars from the open sky. Our holiday in Palazzolo was absolutely amazing and we can recommend the house sincerely.

Peaceful place to stay
We were in Palazzolo one week in June 2011. Weather was sunny and it wasn't too hot. There were seven members in our group. Because the house is quite roomy, we had our own privacy. Even though it is an old building, Palazzolo is modern inside and well-decorated. It has all necessary equipment, including dishwasher and washing machine. The swimming pool was great! The owners were really friendly, took good care of us and told us hints where to go. Palazzolo's location is good, there is many interesting places to visit nearby e.g. Rome, Florence and Assisi. It is an excellent place to stay and we can recommend it to everyone who likes peace, beautiful landscapes and history.

Highly recommended, homely, spacious, clean.
The location was perfect 15mins drive from the station, with regular trains to Siena, Florence and Rome. Lots of beautiful places to visit locally, within 30mins drive, including Lake Tresimeno and Citta Della Pieve (10mins away). The owners were extremely helpful before our visit, answering questions and offering advise. On arrival we were presented with their local wine and olive oil and made very welcome. They even escorted us to the supermarket to show us the way. The villa is in a very peaceful and private location with lovely views. Pool is clean and a good size perfect for 10 people. The villa is very clean and homely, mosquitoe nets on the all the windows and comfortable for sleeping even in 30+ degree heat in August. Our group ranged from 16yrs to 54yrs, we enjoyed a balance of relaxing at the villa and touring. We definately want to go back to explore more of the beautiul Umbrian and Tuscan regions.
