Palazzolo is a farmhouse surrounded by farm vineyards and part of a farm of about 490 acres. It has a private and fenced swimming pool 6x12m in size (i.e. 20x39 feet; the pool is quite deep spanning from about 5 foots to more than 6.5 foots) and a private garden, with a beautiful view on Chiana Valley and Mt. Cetona and on Città della Pieve. Palazzolo is a self-catering unit suitable for families or groups of max. 10-12 people + 2-3 babies willing to combine a relaxing holiday in the countryside with the chance to visit places with archaeological, artistic and natural beauties in Tuscany, Umbria and Latium. Our house can be used as a starting point for daytrips to Florence, Rome, Siena, Cortona, Perugia, Assisi, Orvieto, Chianti, and the Trasimeno Lake area as well as other beautiful destinations (i.e. Mount Amiata). The house combines the comfort of a villa with the rural location of an old farm-house and provides you with plenty of space to live in. The swimming pool is generally open from the first week of June to the last week of September.

What an amazing property! I would highly recommend this as a base to explore the local area . Tucked away privately with everything you would need. The property is immaculately clean and extremely well equipped . The hosts are beyond helpful and the swimming pool is just an added bonus . Plenty of space for more than one family to share . Amazing ! We will definitely be returning . Thank you .

Beautiful Locations.Proprietors were excellent in communications as well as looking after our well being. Ample room for good size booking. The pool was really nice, warmer afternoons. The city of Pieva is 5 / 7 min drive. Wonderful !There were some portable fans and towers to help with the warmer interior of the casa. No ac. Overall, We would suggest Pallazolo as a very nice Villa for a vacation. Florence, Siena, Pienza , San Rocco , Roma are all within a two hr drive. The A1 takes some time getting to from the Villa. Thank you Maria, Giorgio , Silva for your warm hospitality.

We spent a fantastic and relaxing week in Maria‘s house. The pool and the wide area provide excellent conditions for the kids to play and have fun. We really appreciated the pool bing surrounded by a fence. The kitchen and the grill area are well equipped to cook some nice Italian dish. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds.Maria is always available in case anything needed and always has helpful recommendations for supermarkets, restaurants and everything else. We would recommend this place for a stay with family and friends.

What a fabulous place for a family holiday!The house is wonderfully private and quiet, tucked away in the countryside yet close to plenty of amenities and activities. Just 1.5 km away there’s a fantastic bakery, and the nearby town of Città della Pieve is full of charm—offering delicious food, gelato, and stunning views.Our host, Maria, and her family were outstanding. They responded quickly to any questions and shared invaluable local tips, including excellent walking trails. The pool was a huge highlight, keeping the children entertained for hours on end. It was also kept sparkling clean, with maintenance every other day—a real bonus.The kitchen is well-equipped with everything needed to prepare family meals, which we enjoyed outside every single day. Renting a car in Chiusi is definitely the best option, as the rail connections are excellent and far simpler than renting in Rome.The house itself is spacious, offering both lovely gathering areas and quiet corners for relaxing. We especially appreciated the weekly cleaning service, complete with fresh towels (including pool towels) and bedding.The sunsets over the property were absolutely breathtaking, making for unforgettable photo opportunities. We also loved exploring the region—golfing, biking around Lake Trasimeno, visiting wineries, enjoying market days in Chiusi, and taking day trips to Perugia and Florence.Overall, this is the perfect place for a family holiday, blending comfort, beauty, and plenty of activities.

This is a beautiful home and property! The owners are very responsive and kind. The pool was a welcome treat during our stay in Unbria during an epic heatwave!

This was a week long birthday party. Friends and family came together from Europe and the USA. I could not have chosen a better place. The farmhouse is just perfect. The setting is superb. The hosts are charming, kind and unbelievably helpful. We had a superb time and want to thank Maria and her husband for their care and kindness. The town, Citta della Pieve - just up the hill, is enchanting. We hiked, we dined, we wine tasted, we explored hilltop towns. We had a phenomenal time. A fairy tale come true.

We stayed here for 3-4 weeks in the month of September with our family of 14.
We had our Grandparents, parents and kids with room and space for all of us.
The farmhouse was very clean, spacious and actually better than advertised.
The property was in great shape, the pool was the cleanest of any vacation that we have done.
You are close to many small villages/towns, wineries, train station; all within 15 minutes.
Maria was an amazing host that went above and beyond to ensure our stay met expectations. From having some food and wine ready for us at the house when we arrived, to cleaning the pool every morning, having fresh linens whenever needed, a clean of the house once per week, and helping with any local recommendations that we needed; Maria helped every step of the way.
Thank you again Maria!

We had a lovely stay at Citta della Pieve. Lots of space and the house was spotless with everything we needed. The pictures on the website did not do justice to the house and surroundings - even better than I expected (and I had high expectations!).
The pool area is spacious and inviting and the pool itself brilliant for our keen swimmer teenager and adults. Quite deep though - would need to keep a close eye on novice-swimmers.
Maria and her team were very helpful and we very much enjoyed our holiday.

We spent a week in this lovely house which is spacious and private. Lots of rooms and bathrooms. A nice kitchen and access to two refrigerators and a big freezer for ice and ice cream. Lovely pool which was cleaned every morning.Very beautiful landscape and view. Very nice host who responded immediately to every question. We recommend it and would definately consider coming back. With two small kids, aged 2 and 4, we furthermore appreciated that the pool area is fenced and can be locked.

We are two families comprising 4 adults and 5 teenagers. We had the most wonderful stay here! The property is even more beautiful than it appears in the listing. It is incredibly spacious and is beautifully open plan which means plenty of room for everyone whilst still allowing us to be together. Maria met us upon arrival and explained everything we needed to know about the property, she even led us to the closest supermarket in Chiusi so we wouldn’t lose our way. The property has everything you could possibly need for your stay and the views from the terrace are spectacular. The swimming pool was perfect and I have never had more comfortable sun loungers on any holiday. The closest town, Citta della Pieve, is just beautiful with fantastic restaurants and quaint, narrow, cobbled streets. Maria was on hand to answer any questions or queries that we had and was a very gracious host. Cannot recommend this property highly enough!!

Very nice house with large swimming pool. Amazing view and quiet location, yet close to restaurants and shops in Citta della Pieve.
Maria and her husband are very nice people who are always willing to help.
Ideally located to visit Umbria and the south of Tuscany.
We had a wonderful vacation!

We loved the location; the property offered us privacy with superb facilities but with easy access to a beautiful hilltop village offering superb dining and fabulous history to experience. The property was brilliantly appointed and Maria made sure we had essentials left for us; she couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. The view across the hillside were spectacular.

The pictures of this home do not do it justice, Palazzolo is much bigger than it looks! All rooms inside the house are big with plenty of open space. You could easily accommodate 2 families with their own space on separate upper floors (We only needed the middle floor to sleep our family). The pool is big and deep with amazing views over the valleys. Only a few hundred metres from the main road, but you feel total seclusion from everyone else if you like your privacy. Maria was absolutely lovely to deal with and left us alone to enjoy our time there. Whenever we did need to contact her, she responded quickly and always made us feel looked after. The town 'Citta della Pieve' is a beautiful and interesting medieval town, with some great places to eat at very reasonable prices if you have kids. We know we will be back, it's perfect!
