On the Road from Tuscany: Il Palagio

Spend a few hours at Trudie and Sting’s Il Palagio. Together they have created an amazing estate.

Simply enchanting.
Depart Florence via the A1 toward Rome and in less than 45 minutes, you’ll take the exit for Figline Valdarno. The beautiful villa and guest houses are available for rent. A week at Il Palagio just might be the vacation of a lifetime!
Highly Recommended
From the first taste of Il Palagio, we were quite entranced by this excellent production. The artisans have worked carefully to tend the trees and craft a very good certified-organic olive oil.

The olives, harvested at the end of October are a blend of Frantoio, Moraiolo, and Leccino.

Recommended pairings include Tuscan favorites, such as bistecca, chick pea soup, carpaccio with porcini mushrooms, grilled radicchio, lentil soup, artichoke pasta dishes, oven-baked fish, red meat, and firm-textured cheeses.

Honey and More

We import the honey and the extra virgin olive oil (not the wine) and these are great ingredients for a satisfying meal.

A farro salad, together with Il Palagio extra virgin olive oil, wildflower honey, Rustichella Farro, and Acetaia Cattani White Balsamic Vinegar, is your best new salad for summer.

Taking a break with the staff at Il Palagio. They oversee the hospitality (Giulia Merli), worldwide wine and olive oil sales (Tony Sasa), and estate management (Paolo Rossi).
