Hotel Palagi

Top choice in Northwestern Tuscany


The tender love and care lavished on this outstanding three-star hotel by owner Eliza and her friendly staff seeps out of every last perfectly plumped cushion, potted plant and modern artwork. Thirteen rooms in soft muted hues are spacious with white marble bathrooms, and the shared romantic rooftop terrace is pure gold. Breakfast includes heaps of freshly cut fruit and homemade cakes.
