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. |
