Palagina la Dimora

So great hotel. Perfect for relax and enjoy Toscana

We stayed at the Palagina for 5 nights in 2 different rooms - Casa Fruiti (family style apartment) and Casa Belvedere (a private villa) and both incredible. The views from the rooms and everywhere on the grounds never gets old. It is like we are looking at a postcard! The food at the restaurant was delicious - not a bad meal. The highlights included Cacio de Pepe and beef carparcio. The house wine was great (only $15 per bottle) and a drinks were excellent (try the "wine cocktail"). The staff was very helpful with suggestions for day trips and places to eat off property.

Super relaxing ambient, delicious food and a gorgeous view, what else do you need?!

The views and the surrounding area of the hotel are amazing, the style of the building is a beautiful traditional Tuscany estate. The rooms could be improved in terms of the furniture and design, living room had no coffee table or a couch. The resception also could do a better job at the check in with the explanation of the facilities and answering the questions.

I stayed at La Palagina for a week for my niece's wedding at a nearby villa. The staff was very helpful in helping me to arrange rides to the train, airport or the wedding. The room was large and comfortable. I loved the pool and the abundant swallows swooping over the place. Overall it was a wonderful trip.

It was the best stay in my Italy trip. Very lowly spot for romantic getaway.

The lack of customer service on display at La Palagina is astounding. In the interests of the readers time here is a point form summary, but just do yourself a favor and avoid it. It is a nice view but that's about it. 1. Got put in the wrong room but let it go. There were also no robes in my room and the mini bar was not full. When I mentioned it on check out after our one night, Salem then argued with me about the website that I booked on, told me I was wrong and that it's my fault for not saying something to them and that his portal must be broken. Just like his attitude. 2. No servers come to you when by the pool and there always dirty tables and towels laying around. 3. When by the pool, cocktails served in plastic cups, coffee in polystyrene cups but beers in glassware. Makes no sense. You have to walk inside to order a drink. 4. No hotel guide or room service menu in room 5. Room service number does not work. Got told they probably just took the phone off the hook because the restaurant was busy! 6. Food was good but menu is all confused. 7. Hotel is understaffed. Service is below average. 8. Breakfast was bland. Felt sorry for the two servers, they were run off their feet and the entire venue was a mess. Had to set my own table. 9. Gardener was using the hipper snipper near guests and hit guests with off cuts. Hotel did arrange a car transfer for me but only after I emailed twice This place could be great but the training and management is just average.

We stayed couple hotel during our road trip. This was the best one, so we had to come back for another evening. Friendly and polite staff, comfortable bed and pillow. nice swimming pool with nice view, good breakfast. Good shower+Jacuzzi. Nothing to complain.First day the booking system missed out booking , staff immediately solved the problem offered us a suite. Second time we were stayed in the "hill view room", amazing view from the room. We are glad we chose this hotel. If we visit this area we would definitely choose this hotel again. Highly recommended.

Must have a car! Same menu in am and pm Pools not heated couldn't swim No lunch or drinks after morning till 7 pm at night! Even though says lunch is available and has restaurants Nice views, linens. AC didn't work nor did the phone Wasn't worth the effort to get there for train from Florence and 25 euros cab ride No amenities available on site - take all you need . Bikes available. Great coffee when open, nice servers Could be fabulous but wasn't

The villa is located in a beautiful area with stunning views over the Tuscan countryside. The pool area is delightful with two large swimming pools available and plenty of sun loungers. The rooms are large and really comfortable. The restaurant was beautifully furnishes. However, the menu was unimaginative and could have done with more choices. There was no option for sides at all so we literally had a plate of meat! The breakfast was very good though with a lot of different options available. A beautiful villa in a stunning location.
