Relax in one of the most beautiful places in Tuscany

Panoramic Pool

Our 20 x 10 metre swimming pool is without doubt one of our strong points. It has a graduated depth (from 110 cm to 170 cm), making it suitable for all users, is directly accessible from the rooms and has an idyllic view of the hills of Volterra and San Gimignano.

Decorated in mosaic tiles, it has an infinity edge over which water cascades onto exposed stone, transporting swimmers into a dimension of timeless, infinite space. “Tuscany People” rates it as one of the six most beautiful panoramic swimming pools in the whole of Tuscany.

"Le Terrazze del Palagetto"

What would Tuscany be without the delicious flavors of its traditional cuisine?

For us, local dishes are a way to get to know and appreciate the territory, which is why at the adjoining restaurant “Le Terrazze del Palagetto” we offer the best our land has to offer. The restaurant is also open to non-hotel guests.

Wedding Venue

Il Palagetto is a magical place to get married, ideal for living and remembering the most significant moments of the most beautiful day.

Il Palagetto is one of the most popular locations for weddings thanks to its versatility that allows you to meet all your needs: from large spaces, the organization of the fateful moments: floral decorations, ceremony and catering.

Location, location, location!

We have been coming here since 2006 and have seen the remarkable additions and improvements made by the owner over these fifteen years. What do you get here? Beautiful scenery, unique air, tireless service, amazing breakfast, peaceful quiet and one of the most charming hostesses in the hospitality business. By the way, the kitchen serves three meals a day and the food is very good!

The view was incredible beautiful

The view was incredible beautiful, we are really enjoyed that there was nothing nearby but silence, peace and beautiful surroundings. The restaurant offer was great, the prices are correct.

Dorika
Beautiful location with even more potential

This must be one of the most beautiful locations we have stayed in. Very friendly and helpful staff who did everything they could to make us feel comfortable. Also the restaurant serves great quality food making it a great place to stay.

Bram
Stunning views from lovely settings

The reception was hearty and welcoming and the check in was efficient.
The estate is beautifully located with stunning views over the fields and Volterra and breathtaking sun sets. The management and staff members are pleasant and helpful. Every day of our stay we had dinner in the restaurant. You choose from a menu with lots of options. The plates we choose were all tasteful and well prepared. The pool is nice and there are enough loungers.
The room itself was basic but ok. All according to a 4 star hotel.
We had a great time and if you like the quietness of an estate in the middle of the Tuscany fields with staff members who wants the best for you, Il Palagetto is the place to be.

Rob
Great place to relax

Beautiful location on a hill with view on Volterra. Very good swimming pool. Close to Volterra and San Gimignano. The staff was very friendly, it was hard to say goodbye

Bart
Breathtaking location in Tuscany

We stayed in Agrihotel II Palagetto for one night. The Agrihotel is located in the middle of farm fields. The location is just exceptional. They serve very nice breakfast & their terrace has a view on old city Volterra.

Grega
Postcard style hideaway

We spent 2 nights in October in this very charming and view-wise outstanding hideaway within Val d‘Cecina. The host-family including adorable dog & astonishing cat are just amazing. You‘ll get served fresh crepes for breakfast. The whole location has a tasteful interior and with its randomly displayed art it is designed to enlighten your tuscan experience. Perfectly suited for day-trips to Bolgheri & Volterra and absolutely recommendable.

Amazing view and property! Nice restaurant to have lunch and diner! Near Volterra and San Gimignano.

The view is amazing! We had such a relaxed few days here! The restaurant and staff were very good!
Nice little Tuscan style decoration in the room with a terrace to watch the sun go down.

Egbert
Awesome everything

Welcome to the home of Maximum Decimus Meridius.
- Held by a family and you can feel it. They're dedicated, warm and welcoming. You feel like at home
- Large swimming pool with a view!
- Good breakfast
- Gloriously quiet, lonely and peaceful! Obviously don't go there if you expect nightclubs and shopping.
- Excellent price-quality ratio
- Things (doors, beds) are well oiled and don't squeak. This is something I really appreciate and want to mention.

Jeremy
Amazing Tuscan experience

We stayed only for one night, and it was one of the best rooms we had in Tuscany.
The location was superb, everything was clean, and the staff welcoming and helpful. We couldn’t ask for more.
We also had dinner at the restaurant and it was delicious.
One day we will be back for sure, thank you

It was a gorgeous stay at Agrihotel il Palagetto!

It was a lovely stay at Agrihotel il Palagetto! The villa is located in a solitary area among the hills and olive gardens. From the terrace opens gorgeous views of the surroundings. This is a very cozy hotel with a soothing atmosphere: beautiful sunsets, birdsong and cooing doves under the roof. The room is cozy, spacious and clean. Very nice and helpful staff. Special thanks to the owners of the hotel Marco and Julia: a very nice couple, they helped us in many questions and took into consideration all our needs . Good breakfast buffet, delicious coffee and a pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. The hotel is situated in a solitary place, so choosing this hotel is better to rent a car. As for the sightseeing you can visit the nearby medieval town of Volterra, which is 20 minutes by car, the city of Siena (1 hour by car), and if you want to go the sea, the nearest cozy sea town on the coast is Cecina (also is an 1 hour drive from villa). So the hotel exceeded all expectations and the stay left only a pleasant impressions!

Nice hotel and location, very good value for the price

Views were wonderful, swimming pool was gorgeous with plenty of outdoor space for relaxing and enjoying the views. Breakfast was basic but fine, lunch menu was delicious.

Charlotte
Our best accommodation during our Tuscany trip

The hotel was located in most stunning surroundings, like paradise - beautiful and quiet, could hear only frogs and birds, beautiful roses and lights around the house, could see pretty sunset. Kids enjoyed the pool. Rooms were comfortable and clean, the staff helpful and friendly, most delicious dinner in the restaurant and breakfast was very good too. Would like to go again and stay longer!

Breathtaking view, Good breakfast, Friendly owners
Restaurant is ok, Wonderful sunsets and terrace, good wine.

Thin walls be aware to sleep to the sounds of birds and frogs
random loud music in lobby and terrace area.

Maximilian
Absolutely stunning!

The hotel was set in the most beautiful countryside I had ever seen. We travelled all over Tuscany and stayed in far more expensive hotels but this hotel was the most quaint, beautifully located and good for value hotel of all! There is no traffic, nothing around just nature and beauty. And if you want to find something more Volterra is a 14min drive away and is beautiful!
