Agriturismo Il Palazzaccio
About
Nestled in the Tuscan hills of Galliano, Agriturismo Il Palazzaccio occupies an 11th-century palazzo whose stone walls have weathered ten centuries without losing their character. The working farm welcomes groups across several independent accommodations spread throughout the property, with a combined capacity that allows around twenty people to gather under the same roof — enough for an extended family weekend, a milestone birthday, a leadership retreat, or an intimate wedding off the tourist trail.
What works well for groups: the outdoor spaces are generous and lend themselves to communal meals, sunset aperitivos, or simply gathering without getting in each other's way. The sweeping views over the Tuscan countryside provide a natural backdrop for group moments, with no added decoration required. Inside, the palazzo's structure offers generous volumes suited to shared dinners or informal meetings.
Hosts Samuel and Maurizio are frequently praised for their hands-on availability — they speak English, know the region well, and help with logistics without overstepping. For a group arriving from several different countries, that's a detail that makes a real difference to the day-to-day experience. The estate's dogs are part of the place without being an imposition.
Il Palazzaccio is particularly well suited to groups seeking authenticity over standardized comfort: the exposed stonework, absolute quiet, and working farm surroundings define the experience. It's not a hotel — reviews make that clear — but that's precisely what makes it a memorable setting for events that deserve a singular backdrop rather than an interchangeable one.

Incredible agriturismo in an und old palazzo from the 11th century. The view and the tranquility is just as amazing as the kindness of the hosts Samuel and Maurizio (and their very friendly Dogs). We went there just for two days After the via degli dei (the way up After the hike was a bit of a challenge by feet) but we felt the time went by too quickly, so we were already planning our trip there next year. Surely, a 900 year old Building is no Fire star hotel but the experience, especiallY being offline for some time, was totally worth it. Would definetly recommend!
Fantastic hotel with great staff. It is not a 3star hotel like Google says but it is amazing in every way possible and the staff knows english and wants to make your stay as comfortable as possible, also the breakfast is out of this world. Best hotel we stayed in during our trip without question!
Fantastic place and experience.
A very positive experience. The real strength of this stay is the owner's immense kindness and willingness to make his guests feel at home and his desire to meet the needs of those who stay here. The property is surrounded by greenery, where peace reigns supreme, ideal for those who escape the hustle and bustle of the city. It's an old building with a very rustic style, with no Wi-Fi or TV in the rooms. But that's okay, we're finally back to talking as a family...
If you're looking to relax in a stunning setting, this is the perfect place. Samuele is a super friendly and very attentive host, always making sure we were comfortable. His restaurant recommendations were excellent!
