Very good place to stay in toscane

When you need a vacation to feel like a vacation, Palaia is the place go. You become a local when you stay here. You get up in the morning to the ring of the beautiful bell tower. Then go down the La Chicca, the local cafe/gelateria to have your morning coffee, followed by strolling though the local shops, or having dinner at the wonderful family restaurants like Antica Farmacia or Bacciomeo. or you can just swing by LaCivetta and grab a pizza to go. Elisa was an amazing host that I gladly now call a friend, she help you arrange wine tastings, cooking lessons or just suggest beautiful places to go, all with local friends for hers. I cannot recommend her enough, My wife and I love the little village of Palaia, it was a great place to stay to explore the Tuscany countryside without having to be in all the hustle of the cities like Pisa or Florence. If you want to see what it is like to be a Tuscan Local and not a tourist, this is the place to go. And make sure you ask to try some of Elisa mothers limoncello, Its amazing, homemade, and way better than the store bought stuff. Thanks Elisa for everything I can't wait for our next trip to Palaia.

Everything you need for a quiet and relaxing stay in Tuscany. Palaia is quiet and the people were friendly. The host speaks wonderful English and was very kind and helpful. We needed to find some crutches for our son and she arranged this with the local pharmacy. The unit is very modern and comfortable. Highly recommended for family. We ate at the only pub twice...amazing pasta but horrible pizza.

We so enjoyed our week long stay in this lovely apartment. It had everything we needed and wanted and was very cozy and inviting. Elisa made sure we were well taken care of, even saving us a parking spot and showing us around when we arrived. She was readily available by text throughout our stay to help us and check on us. The village was wonderful. We rented a car and explored many places in Tuscany with Palaia as our base. Most evenings we would return back to the village for dinner at one of the various restaurants, all within walking distance of the apartment. They are all delicious! We had breakfast most mornings at the coffe bar in the village. The ladies there were so friendly and helpful and by the end of the week we felt like regulars. There was someone in all the restaraunts that spoke English and most of them had an Englush menu as well, which was very helpful. There are several markets in town to get whatever needs you have while you are there. Elisa was a pleasure and I highly recommend this rental!! Thank you for a wonderful week, Elisa!
