Description
A magnificent Tuscan-style farmhouse villa set within the Colline Lucchesi Wine District, IL PALAGIO offers contemporary and flexible accommodation with superb amenities including a heated indoor swimming pool with jacuzzi seats (measures 4.50 metres x 3.50 metres) with a magnific windows overlooking the woods and an outdoor swimming pool (measures 6 metres x 12 metres) among the olive grove. Perfectly suited to larger groups up to 14 guests, the property is composed of a main building and its annex. It has been painstakingly restored to a luxury country house overflowing with character and charm.
Chic and comfortably furnished, IL PALAGIO is located among private vineyards and olive groves on the rolling hills 11 kms east of Lucca in a village which is an easy access to all the major sight of Tuscany such as Florence, San Gimignano, Pisa, Cinque Terre and the Beaches of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi. To explore the surrounding countryside on foot will be one of the highlights of the location of IL PALAGIO, there are many walks nearby through woodlands and vineyard fields, and the hilltop villages of VALGIANO and MONTECARLO where you can experience some of Lucca’s best restaurants and views are just a short drive away.
This is one of those special Tuscany’s Farmhouses Villas that really captures the imagination. At ground level of the main building there is a beam-ceilinged grand living room with original stone fireplace and a tv with international channels. There's a fully equipped traditional kitchen featuring , and a classically styled open plan dining room seating up to 14 guests. Both the dining room and a second living room here open to two pleasant outside terraces: one in the sun at the front side of the house where the outdoor living and lounge area is and one in the shade on the back side of the farmhouse where an outdoor living and dining area with an American Weber BBQ and Wood Fired Pizza Oven is along with a jacuzzi. A toilet and a separate laundry room completes the floor.
Two staircases leads to two separate areas on the first floor of the main building. On the first floor there are 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms:
- 1 double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with bath tub and built shower;
- 2 double bedrooms with 2 ensuite bathrooms with built-in showers;
- 1 double bedroom and 1 bedroom with two twin beds sharing a bathroom with built-in shower
The villa's lower floor impresses with exposed stone walls and vaulted ceilings where a Thermal Salts indoor heated pool is located. While soaking in the warm water enjoying jetted tubs and the magnificent view over the woods and the hills, a heart warming fireplace will add peace and charm to your relaxing moments.
The annex is located right next to the main building (just 10 metres away) and it has a grand terrace equipped as a lounge with view and direct access to the main building shaded outdoor living area and to the jacuzzi tub hidden among a manicured garden terrace overlooking a waterfall in the woods. The annex provides 1 bedroom suite with a king size bed and living area and 1 bedroom with two twin beds. The two bedrooms shares a bathroom with a built in shower and they both have French windows accessing the panoramic terrace where lounge with view is.

My family and I (there were 15 of us) spent an incredible five nights at this property last week. Francesco couldn’t have been a better host. Such a nice guy and the dinner/tour of his winery (Fattoria Maionchi) were amazing. We also had a great experience with Gianni and Lucca at InVino, who did at pasta making class for our kids one night and a meal for everyone the next night. Couldn’t recommend this place more.

Villa il Palagio is a Tuscan dream come true, and exquisite in every detail. The furnishings and fittings are all generous and lovely, and the setting is glorious (a garden filled with birdsong, the heavenly scent of roses, and the pervasive murmuring of the ancient mill waterfall in the background). Directly from the door, there are delightful walks amidst vineyards and olive groves, while numerous medieval cities, villas, historic churches, magical seaside villages, and mountain vistas are all within easy reach by car. Our hosts, Francesco and Daniela, could not have been more charming and helpful, and an olive oil and wine tasting, with delicious, locally-sourced dinner at Francesco's family's historic Fattoria Maionchi on our final evening was a highlight of our stay (and cannot be more highly recommended)!
Although there were only three of us staying at the villa (my husband, myself and a friend), we felt that our stay was very reasonable, considering the wealth of luxurious features the villa possesses. Because the bedrooms are divided into three separate "suites", there is a high level of privacy, despite the number of bedrooms. The villa is particularly perfect for history buffs, as it's been sympathetically restored from its former function as a mill house, retaining time-worm stone sinks and the palimpsest of former windows, doors, and mill apertures still visible in its sun-soaked walls. It was truly difficult to leave this magical place! |

Although the villa is exceedingly well stocked with dinnerware, cooking implements and appliances, etc., the lack of a dish sponge and detergent make keeping things tidy difficult. We went and got our own, but these necessities are normally present at rental homes.
Likewise, most rental homes provide basics like pepper, a small bottle of olive oil, initial supply of coffee, and (in the UK at least), a small carton of milk, which are particularly appreciated by overseas travellers who arrive at the villa having travelled for two days and a night. This was a particular problem for us, as we hadn't realized until a few days before our arrival that we were landing in Italy on a national holiday (Primo maggio), and that all the shops were closed. As it was, Daniela told us where to find a pasticceria ... but it would have been so lovely to have had a leisurely morning coffee at the villa on our first day! Luxury home rentals in the UK provide not only these basics, but also eggs, a loaf of bread, fruit, cheese, etc. It's a classy way to say "welcome" on the first morning in a foreign land. We DID appreciate Francesco's gift of a bottle of very fine wine, though! Another suggestion is to mount a convex mirror for the sharp turning in the road below the master bedroom of the villa. This might prevent the incessant horn-blowing, which begins quite early in the day, and continues until dusk. These are minor suggestions to improve to what was otherwise a PERFECT holiday! |

Dear Bethiah,
Thank you for your detailed and glowing review of Villa il Palagio! We're delighted to hear that your stay was a Tuscan dream come true and that you found every detail to be exquisite. It sounds like you truly immersed yourselves in the beauty and tranquility of the surroundings, with the garden filled with birdsong and the soothing sound of the ancient mill waterfall. We're pleased that Francesco and Daniela were charming and helpful hosts, and that the olive oil and wine tasting at Fattoria Maionchi was a highlight of your stay. It's wonderful to know that you appreciated the luxurious features of the villa and the privacy afforded by the separate "suites" in the bedrooms. The villa's restoration from its former function as a mill house adds to its charm and appeal, especially for history buffs like yourselves. We appreciate your feedback regarding the amenities provided at the villa. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of dish sponge and detergent, as well as basic pantry items. Your suggestions for improvement, including the addition of basic essentials and a convex mirror for road safety, are duly noted and will be taken into consideration for enhancing future guests' experiences. Thank you again for choosing Villa il Palagio for your holiday, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for another magical stay! A presto! |

Villa Il Palagio is truly special. We went with some very experienced travelers and everyone agreed the villa is a unique find and is amazing! From its lovely and well- appointed common areas, to its large bedrooms, lovely grounds/pool and awesome grotto, everything was perfect. More importantly, the owners Francesco & family are wonderful people and the tasting and lunch at their winery is a must (food and wine are great and history even better). We also developed many friendships during our month stay. We very much enjoyed our chefs from Chefs in Tuscany ( Lena& Rachele), Francesco Piacentini and our two favorites- Alice Dami ( cooked for Queen) and Tonino & Katia Tizzano (laid out an unbelievable spread.) In Lucca check out Antica Locanda Dell'Angelo- ask for Vito. If you are heading to Florence special olive oil experience at Villa Monteoriolo (Eleanora and family are lovely). Recommend eating at Trattoria Dell' Oca (best we tasted in Florence - ask for Massimo). If you need a boat to go to Cinque Terra, only one place to call Versilia Rents (owners Andrea and Veronica are great). Finally, the best driver in Tuscany is Stefano Palmieri Tuscan Sunshine Tours . Roberto Petrucci Cortona Private Tours is great and can also help with tours. An unbelievable time and we will be back for sure.

Our group had an absolutely amazing time here. The villa was beautiful and clean - tucked away in the hills of Capannori, it provides a stunning view of the valley with Lucca’s walls and towers in the distance. The outdoor areas were lovely and well-maintained, with a picturesque garden and perfect pool a few steps below surrounded by olive trees. We particularly enjoyed the indoor grotto pool - it felt like your own personal spa! Francesco was a gracious host and was helpful and responsive throughout our stay. We would strongly recommend visiting his winery just a quick walk down the road, Fattoria Maionchi. Delicious wine and olive oil in a place steeped with history. Lastly, we would also recommend hiring chefs especially for larger groups like ourselves. Larissa and Valentino of TastEmotions are local Lucca-based chefs who are familiar with the villa and our host - their food and service was truly spectacular and outshined well regarded restaurants in Florence. It was an unforgettable time and we hope to be back soon!

Highly recommend this Villa. We had a large group of 13 adults and were very comfortable. We dined outside every evening. The pool outside was very refreshing. The thermal spa downstairs was relaxing after a long day. Overall this villa was amazing! We hired a private chef, Alice, to cook several meals which was a special treat. The sunsets from villa are breathtaking.

We stayed with our Family and Friends for 8 days. The location was hilarious and exactly how we have expected it. Francesco the owner was very helpful in giving us assistance within the local area. The wine tasting - hosted by Francesco at Fattoria Maionchi - was an experience we will not forget. We were amazed with how much love and taste for details the house & garden is decorated. All in all a wonderful estate in a fantastic surrounding area.
We will come again - for sure ! Christian & Family |

My family and I were most satisfied with our stay. Everything was spot on: the cleanliness, accessible location, peaceful surroundings and of course the house was absolutely gorgeous. We loved the cozy yet classy sophisticated style in which the house was decorated. The pool is the best hang out place. As a family of 10 we highly recommend visit to this place.

Ros and I want to thank you again for your wonderful tours. The tour of Lucca was perfect. Everyone should be so lucky to get to tour Lucca through your eyes. We got to see the best of the best. Knowing where to find excellent pasta ,pastries, bread, wine, produce restaurants and of course shopping made the rest of our stay even better. It was nice of you to introduce us to many of the shop owners and experience their pride and passion for their establishments. Also it was so much fun seeing how much you love Lucca and your enthusiasm for all things local....it just made us appreciate how awesome Lucca is. The trip to Monte Carlo to Buonamico Winery was outstanding. It helped so much that you knew the owner and staff…so we were treated so special. The wine tasting, the tour and the lunch were fantastic. The winery staff were clearly very proud of all the premises and the fantastic wine. Stephane the driver you arranged was great as well...we felt safe and he made it a fun drive. We will definitely return to Lucca, what you were able to show us is a big reason for that! And we will definitely rent one of your amazing villas once more! You are a bespoke agency managing the best villas in the area and we are so glad we found you. Please feel free to share this note with any potential clients...they really should experience your enthusiastic hospitality and knowledge of wonderful Lucca Thanks again Sonia for making our vacation memorable and fun. Ros and I hope to see you again Grazie mille Arrivederci

Villa Palagio is situated on a Tuscan hillside very close to Lucca with gorgeous views. We had one of our best holidays here with six other couples. The villa is spacious and intriguing. The pizza oven was a huge hit. One evening we had a delicious dinner prepared by a local chef. My best memory is drinking wine on the veranda while listening to the music from the village festival. Sonia was the most attentive agent I have ever dealt with. We had Fantastic feelings - highly recommend!

We were a party of 8 adults and 6 children and had a lovely time. The villa is stunning - well equipped and beautifully furnished. The heated indoor pool was necessity so early in the season and well used by the children. Pretty countryside and close to some vineyards, lovely walks and also walkable (just) to the village for restaurants if required. We had Cristina prepare a welcome dinner and also she came to give us a cookery lesson which was great fun. We'd also recommend 'Tuscany Ride a Bike' in Lucca - we organised a bike ride with a guide which included lunch at a farm.

Wir haben uns unglaublich wohlgefühlt. Bei uns war der älteste 85 Jahre und der Jüngste 5 Monate. Insgesamt waren wir 14 Personen. Das Haus ist so toll gestaltet, dass jeder seinen eigenen Bereich hatte und die gemeinsame Fläche umfasst das gesamte untere Stockwerk. Das Highlight ist die Grotte. Super geeignet für lauschige Abende. Wir wollen auf alle Fälle wieder kommen. Alle waren begeistert.

We had a wonderful visit with a party of 12. Manuela made sure that everything ran smoothly and that we were taken care of. Tucked into the hills, the location provides privacy but you also have fairly convenient access to groceries and restaurants down in nearby villages. The property is gorgeous and we enjoyed hiking in the surrounding area through the olive groves and vineyards. We highly recommend this property.

We reserved this villa for my family and a group of friends to enjoy a couple of weeks ago. It was a bit like time travel to a more peaceful time with beautiful scenery, lovely people and a surprise around every corner. The villa has a rich 300 year old history and I felt like I was living in a storybook. The villa is incredible and perfect for a large group. The property owner, Nicola, and all his staff really went above and beyond on the service. We had a bit of an emergency while there and without being asked, Nicola and Sidrak showed up to help with translation and transportation. Without their help I don’t know what we’d have done. And the lovely chef they recommended we hire, Alice, along with Paolo and Elisabetta, truly made the most delicious meals I had during the entire three weeks we were traveling in Italy. And when we were working through our emergency, again without being asked, Alice sprang into action and also went out of her way to help us. I would definitely recommend the villa and the chef! And don’t miss out on a wine tasting at Nicola’s winery just down the street. Great wine and an amazing history that goes back seven generations. Wish I was still there!

We stayed at the property in late March 2019. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The Vil-la was beautifully done. Bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen large, the living spaces spacious and more than enough for everyone. The house was immaculate. The grounds were beautiful, the garden was romantic and elegant with many lemon trees and the ga-zebo on the top of the fortress surrounding the property with a breathtaking view. The heated pool was a welcome relief in the afternoon and well used by our children. We were also blessed with a lovely owner available for our request and always met with a big smile. Sonia, the host, was outstanding. She was like a personal concierge. She helped arran-ge anything we needed during our excursions thru Tuscany. Advice on best places to see, best spots to park, best restaurants to visit. This is my 8th visit to Italy, but I saw it through new eyes. This note is just to say how much we loved our stay in Villa Il Palagio. This Villa was the PERFECT way to appreciate Tuscany: it's location, the views, and especially the hospitality, It is a magical place! We loved every moment. A million thanks.
