Hi Alison...we are back from Tuscany!! It was outstanding...the most magnificent part of the world. Our Villa was unbelievable...the grounds were "groomed" beyond belief...the care and detail to the villa was amazing. Our host was delightful and we interacted with her on a daily basis. She prepared a book of details and helpful hints that became our "bible". Her directions and places of interest were perfect. I would recommend "Il Piliagio" to anyone who wants to experience a trip of a lifetime!!! She "treated" us to a wonderful breakfast at her "B&B" in town. It was a great way to end the trip. We will never forget Monia and her magnificent Villa. Thanks again for all your help in preparing our Trip to Paradise!
Love, Frances

In June of last year, we enjoyed a wonderful stay at Il Palagio in Panzano, a small hilltown very nicely located in Chianti between Florence and Siena and within driving distance of San Gimignano, Greve in Chianti and other popular spots. This agriturismo is very well run by the family that owns it. The apartments are charming and the grounds are lovely. The pool looks out over a sweeping Chianti view of vineyards and lovely countryside. We stayed in the apartment Melograno, which for a family with one or two children works very well because of the quiet yard beside it that no other guests seem to use. You can easily walk into Panzano for breakfast pastries or a dinner at one of the small but nice restaurants and there are several little groceries, plus two butchers and a produce store to stock your kitchen. You can find out more about Il Palagio by searching on the name InfoChianti. We loved the entire experience.

Dear Mrs. Monia, Tamara & Yoram. I would like to thank you all and of course to you Mrs. Monia for the great time we had last week in Il Palagio. The house, the villa, the palace or any other name you call it, was wonderful, clean, comfortable and specially splendid view and atmosphere. Although we had it short and we spend most of the day out around Toscana, we are for sure got the filling. We are confident that next time, we will spend our time in house instead of 'running' around. Send our regards and thanks to your father, grand mother and grand father who keeping the house so beautiful and well maintain. Again, many thanks for your worm welcome and hospitality and hope to see you soon again. (even in Israel)". Best Regards, Amir Kaplan

Mitten im Chianti, nur eine halbe Stunde von Florenz und Siena entfernt liegt mein persönliches Hideaway: Il Palagio. Ein verwinkeltes Steinhaus aus dem 13. Jhdt. das von der Familie Piccini in liebevoller Kleinarbeit restauriert wurde und heute eines der schönsten Agritourismos der Gegend ist. Hier kann man den Alltag eine Zeitlang vergessen, ausspannen am großen Pool oder bei einem Spaziergang durch die Weinberge seinen Träumen nachhängen. Allein schon dieser Ausblick ? wenn man ins Tal hinunterblickt, die Blätter der Olivenbäume silbern leuchten, das mittelalterliche Örtchen Panzano zur Linken ? ist es wert immer wieder hierher zurückzukehren. In nächster Umgebung befinden sich auch einige hervorragende Weingüter, wie das Castello di Rampolla oder La Massa, die einen Abstecher wert sind. Fürs Abendessen deckt man sich jedoch am besten vor Ort ein, Il Palagio erzeugt auch einen sehr guten Chianti und ein kaltgepresstes Olivenöl. Zum Einsatz kommen dann diese kulinarischen Kostbarkeiten in der romantischen Laube, wo man auch grillen kann. Ins Il Palagio reist am am besten gemeinsam mit lieben Freunden, es gibt zwei 6er Appartements, von denen eines sogar ein Turmzimmer besitzt, drei 4er Appartments und ein Studio für verliebte Pärchen, die lieber unter sich bleiben wollen. Besonders gut gefällt uns, daß es gerade weit genug vom Ort entfernt ist sich an der Ruhe zu erfreuen und nah genug um bei einem Abendspaziergang in 10 Minuten auf der kleinen Piazza Bucarelli noch ein Glas in der Enoteco zu genießen. Der Garten ist so groß und in mehreren Ebenen angelegt, daß man immer allein sein kann wenn man möchte. Und er ist über und über voll mit farbenprächtigen Blumen, Zitronenbäumchen und Jasmin, Oleander und Hibiskus. eine Oase, die in jeder Jahreszeit Saison hat, in deren Umgebung wir auch nach mehrjährigem Besuch immer wieder Neues entdecken und deren Besitzer längst zu guten Freunden geworden sind.

Hello, Monia. We are back in the United States and want to tell you again how very much we enjoyed our stay at Il Palagio! It was truly a wonderful experience all you did for us while we were there. The dinner by Paolo was a highlight….. magnificent! We hope that if you ever want to come to U.S. you will contact one of us. Thank you again for everything. Please also express our thanks to your parents for their hospitality. Susan Craig and Wayne Smith, USA
