Photos and Description of the Citta della Pieve vacation house rental

Palazzolo is a farmhouse surrounded by farm vineyards and part of a farm of about 490 acres. It has a private swimming pool 6x12m (i.e. 20x39 feet) in size 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 people 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. If you come from Scandinavia, one of us speaks Finnish and Swedish. More information on our website at: www.musignanodiandreoli.it

Palazzolo is located in Umbria, close the border of Tuscany (less than 5 km), in an area initially populated by the Etruscans, and thus many archaeological findings discovered in the neighbourhood can be seen in the museum of Chiusi and in some tombs. To the north of Palazzolo lies the Trasimeno lake; it is surrounded by old villages, where there are many towers and castles, and it has 3 islands (2 can be visited by boat). On the west side there are Chiana and Orcia valleys (UNESCO heritage site). The agricultural landscape is suggestive, with plenty of vineyards and olive groves, and in the area are located wineries producing good wines and olive mills. Nearby there are many small towns, that are rich in ancient remains from Etruscan, Roman and medieval times and also in thermal spas. At the Umbrian side, there are cities like Perugia, Orvieto and Assisi, which are impressive for their beauty and for the artistic and archaeological heritage.

Two week holiday

5 of 5
Submitted: March 18, 2012 Stayed: June 2011
We arrived to this beautiful house in the end of June. A kind couple, who were the owners of the house, were waiting for us. They gave us advice in practical problems and helped us to enjoy our two-week's holiday. The house and its surroundings were even lovelier than we had seen in the pictures. The house has lots of room for a big group. The kitchen equipment for cooking was good. The location on the hill was nice with the green peaceful scenery and breeze. On the morning, it was enjoyable to go swimming and then spend some time on the lovely yard and have breakfast. Sometimes in the evening, after one day trip to other cities, we sat in the garden and searched stars from the open sky. Our holiday in Palazzolo was absolutely amazing and we can recommend the house sincerely.
Owner's Response: Thank you very much of a nice review, Mari-Anne. We always appreciate reviews and look forward of old clients to return to a familiar place. We also hope that these reviews give others a reason to book a vacation from our house, since we really try to give a warm welcome to our guests and try to give them all possible assistance that we are able to give. Our motto is: Our guest is a friend that we always help according to our best capabilities.

Heikki, on befalf of the owners of Palazzolo.

Kiitoksia paljon Mari-Annelle miellyttävästä arvioinnista. Olemme aina iloisia kun voimme todeta, että se mitä tarjoamme on ollut asiakkaasta miellyttävää ja että mikäli mahdollista he myös palaavat uudelle lomalle jo tuttuun paikkaan. Toivomme tietysti, että hyvät arvioinnit auttavat siinä, että myös muut ovat kiinnostuneita Palazzolosta lomakohteena, sillä pyrimme kaikessa auttamaan lomalaisia, on sitten kyse pienestä ohjeesta tai hieman suuremmasta ongelmasta, niin apu on aina lähellä, sillä mottomme on vieras on ystävä jota tulee aina auttaa.

Heikki, yksi Palazzolon "ylläpitäjistä"

Peaceful place to stay

We were in Palazzolo one week in June 2011. Weather was sunny and it wasn't too hot. There were seven members in our group. Because the house is quite roomy, we had our own privacy. Even though it is an old building, Palazzolo is modern inside and well-decorated. It has all necessary equipment, including dishwasher and washing machine. The swimming pool was great! The owners were really friendly, took good care of us and told us hints where to go. Palazzolo's location is good, there is many interesting places to visit nearby e.g. Rome, Florence and Assisi. It is an excellent place to stay and we can recommend it to everyone who likes peace, beautiful landscapes and history.

The location was perfect 15mins drive from the station, with regular trains to Siena, Florence and Rome. Lots of beautiful places to visit locally, within 30mins drive, including Lake Tresimeno and Citta Della Pieve (10mins away). The owners were extremely helpful before our visit, answering questions and offering advise. On arrival we were presented with their local wine and olive oil and made very welcome. They even escorted us to the supermarket to show us the way. The villa is in a very peaceful and private location with lovely views. Pool is clean and a good size perfect for 10 people. The villa is very clean and homely, mosquitoe nets on the all the windows and comfortable for sleeping even in 30+ degree heat in August. Our group ranged from 16yrs to 54yrs, we enjoyed a balance of relaxing at the villa and touring. We definately want to go back to explore more of the beautiul Umbrian and Tuscan regions.
