We loved our stay at Agriturismo Villa Palagetto. Our room was very charming and unique and maintained the historical characteristics of the building! It was very comfortable! The views were beautiful and it is so worth getting up early to watch the sun rise over the valley! Its location was perfect for short day trips and exploring the gorgeous Tuscan countryside.

The location is astonishing and so the room we had (La Limonaia) with a fantastic view. Restaurant had a good selection of traditional Tuscan traditional dishes and the staff was very helpful and kind. 10 mins walking from the entrance of San Gimignano. Only a couple of advices (no criticism or complaints): 1) the breakfast is abundant and mainly with local, fresh products which should be displayed covered/protected by any potential flies; 2) bring some mosquitos repellant because they leave nasty bites. Overall an amazing experience and we definitely are going back.

Entorno perfecto es Toscana en su versión mas perfecta, por mas que busco un pero no lo encuentro y suelo ser critico, habitaciones limpias y correctas y confortables. Piscina y restaurante perfectos, buenos vinos propios, y personal atento y super servicial y cercano de lo mejor que se puede encontrar, nada que decir por lo que no volviera a este precioso sitio de la Toscana.

Wunderschöne Häuser (es sind mehrere) mit traumhaften Ausblick und exzellenter Lage (auch was die Nähe zum schönen alten Dorf betrifft).
Wir hatten Sicht auf die Hügel mit Reben und Olivenäumen ! Toskana pur !
Das Zimmer war geräumig, sehr sauber, mit grosszügigem Badezimmer und allem wünscheswerten ausgestattet. Das Bett war makellos und sehr konfortabel.
Das mehrsprachige Personal ist in allen Belangen sehr kompetent (im Vorfeld und vor Ort - in unserem Fall Deanna und Silvia-) und äusserst freundlich.
Des weiteren empfehlen wir das angebotene Abendessen (Menu 3 oder 4 Gänge samt Wein) zu reservieren. Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist angepasst. In der wundervollen Abendstimmung im Garten in Mitten der Zypressen wurden wir mit Speisen und Wein sehr verwöhnt. Allerdings Vorsicht: mehrere Stunden vorher nichts essen um die 5 Gänge geniessen zu können..es wird reichlich aufgetisch. Ein Lob der Köchin und dem Kellner..alles top!
Das Pool haben wir nicht genutzt mangels Zeit, aber es sah sehr ansprechend aus. Zu erwähnen bleibt das leckere Frühstück mit u. a. wunderbaren hausgemachten Kuchen und sonstigen Käseleib und Salami aus der Umgebung!
Wir werden ganz bestimmt wiederkommen. Grazie a tutti für den Empfang.

Meraviglioso agriturismo nelle colline toscane, a pochi minuti da San Gimignano. La nostra camera (limonaia) era ampia e dotata di soppalco, con un grande letto matrimoniale e una zona relax. L'arredamento e la biancheria sono di buona qualità. All'esterno c'è uno spazioso terrazzo che si affaccia sulla piscina. Tutto è immerso nel verde di giardini e vigneti.
La cena e la colazione erano deliziose, con prodotti tipici e curate nella presentazione. Per colazione c'era una vasta scelta di torte fatte in casa, pane fresco, marmellate, yogurt fresco e dolci al cucchiaio. I gestori e il personale sono tutti gentilissimi e molto disponibili.
L'azienda produce vino ed è possibile comprare vino e olio direttamente da loro.
Sicuramente un soggiorno che vale anche di più del prezzo che abbiamo pagato!

Quel beau site enchanteur. Sa situation est pittoresque et a deux pas de San Giminiano. Personnel souriant, confort douillet. Un souvenir memorable. Je recommande sans hesitation. Un petit detail, les oreillés sont un peu mince alors svp en mettre 4 par chambre. Merci pour la degustation et le tour du vignoble.
