A
holiday farm for a different holiday experience in untouched
nature and relaxation. A holiday of bygone times in search
of forgotten images, smells and emotions. The Palazzo is
an enchanting late 19th century country building recently
fully renovated by the Barboni family as Franco restored
and returned it through accurate and painstaking work to
its ancient splendour. All six apartments (that may sleep
from two to eight people) are furnished with antique pieces
perfectly matching the exposed wood-beam ceilings and the
cotto-tiled floors. All rooms are painted in colours to
match the tones of the surrounding country-side to make
the Palazzo a warm, cosy and exclusive spot.
Its charming location and the local
climate make the Palazzo an ideal holiday spot: the holiday
farm is enclosed by orchards and crops in an ideal position
fanned even in the hottest hours by a pleasant breeze. Guests
will be able to enjoy from this strategic spot the most
stunning sunrises and sunsets. A fully-equipped professional
kitchen converted from the old cellar of the house is used
by Mrs.Paola to fix for the guests delicious breakfasts,
incredible "marmellatas" (jams) and wonderful
cakes.
Mrs.
Paola will fix upon request superb dinners (for a minimum
of nine people) featuring dishes from the traditional Cortonese
cooking and will also be pleased to teach guests the secrets
of Tuscan country cooking using (in the summer-time) fresh
produce from Nonno Quinto’s vegetable garden, home-made
bread, extra-virgin olive oil and wine made from the farm’s
own vineyard. A swimming pool with shower and a barbecue
are available to guests as well as mountain bikes for their
outings in the country-side.
Come and build your ideal holiday experience
discovering our charming territory, our tastes and the smile
of local people.
