Eloise and her family are very gracious and welcoming, the property of beautiful, the Villa was clean and well supplied and Eloise was very attentive to our needs. She and her family cooked 2 lovely dinners for our group of 8 and we enjoyed breakfast every morning we were there. The Villa has wonderful authentic Tuscan charm, the beds and rooms were comfortable, we had fires in the fireplace and I can’t recommend La Palazzina enough. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

We stayed here after several nights in Rome to enjoy some time in the country and did day trips to Florence, Montepulciano, and Montalcino. We loved the breathtaking floral gardens, views, cooling off in the pool, and kind hospitality. We stayed in the former church and had plenty of space for our family of nine. Everything was super clean. Splurge on the dinner. Eloise will cook you plenty of delicious food. ##### Jason L. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natasha R.

The house was cozy and comfortable, with a beautiful balcony perfect for enjoying evening meals. The shared pool offered breathtaking views, and the other guests were incredibly friendly, adding to the warm atmosphere. Our host, Eloise, was exceptional—her hospitality and attention to detail made our stay even more special. She provided wonderful restaurant recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed. We can't thank her enough for such a memorable experience! ##### Natasha R.

This place is not to be missed! The location is great (you will need a car to get there). We rented the 4 bedroom cottage and it was perfect. 3 bedrooms and lots of space. Eloise and her family were wonderful. She will cook you dinner (it's a must do!) as well as breakfast. The dinner was 4 courses and each one was amazing. The location is serene, Olive groves, goats, cows, chickens and more. The pool was a bit chilly in April but that did not stop us from going in. Can't wait to go back! ##### Jennifer K.

We choise La Palazzina for our holiday and we are wery enjoyed to our stay, I felt like at home I would just like to say how much we enjoyed staying once again in the Val di merse. The weather was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed the two meals we had at La Palazzina. Please pass on again my compliments to your wife whose cooking is superb. I was sorry to miss coming to see you on Friday evening but the thunder storm and packing got in the way! We are now back in a cold and windy England facing the prospect of a trip to a colder wetter ane windier Irealand tomorrow for a Congress. My best regards to everyone who helped to look after us I suggest this beautiful place ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefano S.

Jun 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Holiday and wedding Amazing location and very helpful and friendly hosts. Pool area and grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Having three very young children and with two of them being one years old we had issues with safety. The high chairs provided were unsafe and the many awkward steps within the property were a hazard. Stair gates would have made a big difference. The cooker needed a proper guard against potential accidents. The addition of air conditioning would have been welcomed. The directions received via the app were not accurate. No reference made to La Palazzina. ##### Anne N. Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JAN B.

Nous étions 8 québécois qui avons séjourné dans ce magnifique havre de paix. Une maison Toscane authentique. Le premier soir, nous avions demandé à Éloïse de nous faire la cuisine et ce fut délicieux. Très bien située pour visiter la région. Il faisait exceptionnellement froid pour la fin du mois de mai, nous avons apprécié se faire des feux de foyer. A recommander sans hésitation. ##### Louise L. Stayed 4 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie O. Oct 14, 2018 #### Relaxing, rejuvenating, radient Eloise was a wonderful hostess, always there when we needed her. The property is comfortable, clean and a delight. We had plenty of room in our villa for the seven of us. Eloise made us breakfast as well as a sumptuous dinner one evening, which we ate al fresco. The vegetables came fresh from the garden. Delicious! And the 'house wine' was wonderful! If you plan to cook, you may want to bring along extra spices and seasonings as the kitchen is well equipped with dishes, pots and pans, but is a bit light on the spice rack. We ran out of a few things and Eloise was quick to bring us refills, including coffee one morning, which held us over until we could make it to the local market. Plenty of room to get out and about. The property itself is stunningly beautiful. The pool was still open (we were there in late September and early October) and while it was chilly, it was refreshing and provided a quiet place to relax in the sun. We walked about the property and a few other trails suggested by Eloise, meeting other travelers on their own walk about. Just 20 minutes south of Siena, there is much to do in the area. All in all, we had a delightful rest for seven days and nights. The night provided beautiful skies filled with stars. The days were mostly filled with sunshine and the fragrant scents of trailing flowers on the vine. Thank you! ##### Julie O. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph F. Sep 24, 2018 #### Tuscany dream This property is gorgeous and Eloise and Franco were such amazing hosts! Here is a summary of what we loved but you'll have to reserve a spot yourself in order to truly experience this amazing place. -Natural charm of the building we stayed in with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything was clean and ready to go -Our hosts cooked for us one of the nights and it was delicious. Fresh meat and cheese tray, beef roast, wild boar, and dessert. All from product on their property. -The setting was very picturesque with amazing sunsets -Only 30 minute drive to Sienna and Montolcino. I recommend going to both of these spots. -5 minute drive from a nice grocery store in Murlo which was perfect as we had a full kitchen and were able to make our own meals a couple of the nights we stayed -Again I'll mention how wonderful the hosts were. So nice and accommodating. Both speak English in case you do not know Italian. Enjoy your stay - we certainly did!! Joe ##### Joseph F. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bart S. Sep 4, 2018 #### Rustic charm and stunning landscapes in the heart of Tuscany. This a rustic but well maintained and beautifully landscaped property with stunning vistas of the Tuscan countryside. The hosts are charming and solicitous of their guests, and cook fabulous meals from their own garden and livestock. Well worth the trip. ##### Bart S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly T., Albany, NY Aug 10, 2018 #### Great stay! Property is beautiful. Lovely family. Clean and relaxing. Close to Siena and small towns. Large Villa does not have A/C but others do. Bring bug spray! The mosquitos are viscous and the local big spray does not work! Pool is amazing and the food she prepared was awesome! Thanks Eloise! ##### Holly T. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean W. Jul 29, 2018 #### A Gorgeous Spot in Tuscany We had a lovely stay here with family. A reunion of 11 people, and we fit nicely in the larger villa. The pool area is very nice, and the hosts are very gracious to allow families to swim at any hour. Meals can be arranged if desired. We chose to do this once (for the day we arrived only). There is a small grocery store 15 minutes away by car and the larger villa comes with a full kitchen so it was easier for us to cook for the family. Our host was also very helpful in providing recommendations for things to do in the area. You must have your own car to explore. We drove to Montalcino on a few occasions to have lunch or dinner. The wineries are everywhere but our favorites were the Mozart Winery and the Solaria Winery. Siena is about a 30 minute drive and worth seeing. All in all, a great spot for larger groups, and families. The hosts are very welcoming and the grounds are gorgeous, complete with their own garden, pool area, and lounging areas with beautiful Tuscan views. We love Tuscany and will certainly come again!

The location is perfect to visit Siena, Florence, Pisa, and many other great locations. Eloise recommended several restaurants during our stay that were charming and very delicious homemade pasta. We accepted Eloise's offer to cook us dinner one evening and we were very happy with the wild boar ragu, homemade pasta with bolognese, homemade breads and apple pie! To accompany we also enjoyed the olive oil and chianti, both made on the farm - very scrumptious! ##### John B.

Apr 7, 2017 #### Charming farmhouse, great for families My husband and I brought our 4 teenage sons to Italy and spent a few days in Tuscany. This farmhouse is very charming, and Eloise and her family are wonderful. We were there a bit too early for the pool to be open, but it seems as if it would be lovely in the summer. It is in a great location and we ate at a good restaurant nearby as well as cooked at home. My only advice would be to bring some basics like salt, paper towels, olive oil, coffee. There are cooking utensils and plates, glassware, etc. Very sweet family and good place to stay. ##### Dustin M.

During the day our kids hung out by the pool with other children there and we spent our evenings together in the big house and were able to enjoy our family dinners together. Eloise helped us find the local shops needed to taste the local flavours of the region. Would love to go back to visit again. ##### Audric-Jai C.

Our hosts, Eloise and Alessio were fabulous and nothing was too much trouble. Our accommodation in Palazinna was spacious and typically Italian with lots of charm and character. Outside was beautiful with well tended planting, so many places to sit and a lovely swimming pool with stunning views. Alessio's prosecco is superb and the scenery around the area is just out of this world. You are a few miles away from a supermarket but it is easy to find and there are some good restaurants a short drive away. Sienna is well worth a visit or two but if you just want to sit back and relax, then this a great place to unwind. So many beautiful villages to visit and so much great wine to drink! We hope to return and thanks again to Eloise and Alessio for making our holiday so special. ##### Pam humphreys This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy S. Oct 6, 2015 #### Amazing and so beautiful. We loved our visit to this wonderful villa. It was a perfect location to explore Tuscany and the owners were so hospitable and pleasant. We cooked dinners in the totally adequate kitchen and had such a romantic suite with a view overlooking the garden and the hills. My husband used the pool a couple of times and we relaxed there our first day, so heavenly to have our wine outdoors and have a breakfast outside as well. We were only too sad to leave but know one day we could return, with our family too. You will not be disappointed in staying here at all. ##### Nancy S.

Wonderful family Villa Dipendenza is absolutely wonderful. The picture is a good rendition of what the place looks like. The property is immaculate, and well maintained. The linens were crisp and clean. Beautiful gardens, and swimming pool area. We stayed in the large villa. Its a very old, old house, so it has alot of character and charm. When you walk onto the property, you can smell and see lavender everywhere! Eloise and her husband were very nice. Eloise is a doll. She is very customer service oriented, and always tries to help you with any request. We accidentally left FIVE fantastic wine bottles of Nero D'Avola in the town grocery store. We did not realize this until one day later, and Eloise called for us spoke to the owner, and he said, yes, I have it here for you. He opened the store because it was closed, and we got our wine. OH, and did I mention that this wine is a beautiful full bodied smooth wine for only $3.45 euros per bottle. It doesn't sound right, but that was the price! Oh, and I have to mention their son, Leon, won our hearts. He is two years old, curly blond hair, and quickly became our friend once we spoke to him in his native Italian tongue! All in all the villa is well equipped. It could probably use a few more large serving dishes, but we were 11 people at one point during the trip. The master bathroom was delightful. I would open the window, smell the lavender, and turn on Andrea Bocelli while having a warm bath. Soooo nice! They also have nice wine and olive oil. They have their own vineyards. The prosecco was wonderful, although not grown by them, but we could buy it from them. The location is fantastic. Its about 20 minutes from Siena, 1 hour from Florence, and two hours from Rome. Oh, and there is an absolutely beautiful beach called Cala Violina which is near Grosseto and about 1 hour and 15 minutes from the Villa. All of the recommendations Eloise gave us for restaurants were great. The little restaurant in the town of Murlo is fabulous. I recommend going in June, because in July it starts to get really hot. This place is a MUST. We will return. Thank you Eloise for everything! ##### Elizabeth B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lisboa Pessoa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Lisboa-Pessoa-Hotel.h17184732.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Cicolina](https://www.expedia.ca/Montepulciano-Hotels-Villa-Cicolina.h2527290.Hotel-Information) > > [Borgo Pignano Tuscany](https://www.expedia.ca/Volterra-Hotels-Borgo-Pignano.h8677240.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco](https://www.expedia.ca/Montalcino-Hotels-Rosewood-Castiglion-Del-Bosco.h2173539.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate New York Grand Central](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Westgate-New-York-Grand-Central.h11606.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Nelson](https://www.expedia.ca/Nelson-Hotels.d6133.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Barga-Hotels-Renaissance-Tuscany-Il-Ciocco-Resort-Spa.h1064090.Hotel-Information) > > [Hu Firenze Camping In Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Firenze-Camping-In-Town.h18331768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Royal University Hospital](https://www.expedia.ca/Royal-University-Hospital-Hotels.0-l553248621594916736-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Toronto Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Toronto-Airport.h687590.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Montreal.h10859.Hotel-Information) > > [Historic Hotels in Muskoka District](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Muskoka-District-Historic-Hotel.0-0-d6343146-tHistoricHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Torre a Cona Wine Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Rignano-SullArno-Hotels-Torre-A-Cona-Wine-Estate.h42059842.Hotel-Information) > > [Castelfalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Montaione-Hotels-TOSCANA-RESORT-CASTELFALFI.h16117482.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cosmopolitan](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Cosmopolitan.h1463136.Hotel-Information) > > [Half Moon](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Half-Moon.h445250.Hotel-Information) > > [Terme di Saturnia Natural Spa & Golf Resort - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Manciano-Hotels-Terme-Di-Saturnia-Natural-Spa-Golf-Resort-The-Leading-Hotels-Of-The-World.h6488645.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sgn/vancouver-to-ho-chi-minh-city) > > [Flair Airlines Ottawa (YOW) to Goffs (YHZ) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/flair-airlines-from-macdonald-cartier-intl-to-stanfield-intl/f8/yow/yhz) > > [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lax/ylw/los-angeles-to-kelowna) > > [Flights from Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178314/flights-from-toronto) > > [Flights from Penticton (YYF) to Comox (YQQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyf/yqq/penticton-to-comox) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yul/toronto-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lagos (LOS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/los/toronto-to-lagos) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Porto (OPO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/opo/vancouver-to-porto) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Thunder-Bay.d4054.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/109/Maldives)
