Fantastic stay

We spent a week at this charming property and had an absolutely magical time with friends. 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!

Beautiful, clean, historic, and excellent, kind hospitality.

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.

Wonderful stay in Tuscany!

We had an incredible stay at the property! Eloise was an excellent host - She made us feel so welcome and right at home. She also makes delicious homemade wine and a lovely dinner that we would highly recommend during your stay! The property was beautiful and very peaceful. It was very convenient and centrally located to many Tuscan towns. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!

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!

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.

Fantastisch verblijf !

Mooie, nette (typisch Toscaansse) woning met prachtig zwembad. Ook al waren er verschillende verblijven. Ieder gezin had perfecte privacy. Zeer aan te raden voor vakantie in Toscane - Italie.

Séjour fantastique !

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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!

Eloise is a wonderful host

The home is exactly as advertised. 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!

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.

Wonderful Vacation Stay in Tuscany

We had a wonderful time at La Palazzina with our group of 18 people. 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.

idyllic haven

Booked 9 nights and have to say it was just fantastic. 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.

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.

Fantastic villa in Tuscany! 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!

Gorgeous!

I just returned from my 2 1/2 week stay at Villa Dipendenza. We arrived on a rainy day, so it was hard to see the charm and beauty of this beautiful place. But the sun quickly came out and remained the entire time of our stay exposing the magic and beauty of this incredible place. Eloise and her husband have created a beautiful and relaxing ambience. Hillside views, flowers, lavender, palm trees, and gardens that only a green thumb and the Tuscan sun could cultivate. An awesome pool area where we spent many a day basking in crystal clean water and no sign of chlorine. The farmhouse villa where we stayed added the rustic Tuscan feel of a place over 450 years old, but with all the modern amenities (including free WiFi, hot water, great water pressure, dishwasher, flat screen tv). The location was perfect! 20 minutes to Siena, just a little further to San Gimignano/Volerra, and 30 minutes to other beautiful towns (Pienza, Montalcino, Montapulcino) and wine tasting; and who knew Tuscany had beachfront, one hour to closest beach which was gorgeous Cala Violina beach. Worth the 45 minute walk from our parking to get there. The vineyards in the hills of this region provided breathtaking landscapes and great wine tasting opportunities. Eloise speaks perfect English and was able to recommend restaurants and places to go. They make their own wine, so we sampled a very lovely red wine. In addition, Eloise had just received a shipment of Prosecco which she had previewed and purchased from a small farm in northern Italy. Delicious. We were happy to buy several bottles from her. Last, but not least, I cannot end this review without a mention of Leon who became our best little buddy during our stay. Will definitely come again to this beautiful place and recommend it to others happily.

Just a dream, the real Tuscany

Dear Eloise and Alessio, We arrived well back home yesterday and want to thank you again for the wonderful stay in your agriturismo. I cannot repeat enough that we were very pleased by your warm welcome, hospitality and the beautiful and typical accommodation. We experienced it as a little paradise in a splendid environment. We will only have nice memories of our stay and will definitely think about it each time we will be opening one of the winebottles we took with us. We wish you further a lot of success with the agriturismo and I do hope we’ll meet again.
