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!

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!

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.

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!

Beautiful Tuscany Villa
AMAZING Everthing about this property was amazing!!! We loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone. We stayed in a suite which was beautifully decorated, with definate attention to detail. Everything needed for dining and cooking was furnished, all new stainless appliances. Suite was immaculate. Very romantic. Hosts were gracious, friendly,and helpful. Location about 30 minutes from Siena, so you need a car and it is definately worth the drive. The location is serene, with beautiful pool and impeccably kept grounds. We enjoyed the spacious Tuscan country side so much, we didn't even drive back into Siena until we left. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate this at 10+++++!!!

a beautiful holiday
I'm from Italy but I'm living in london, since three years I never come back in Italy. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
