Il Palazzo Agriturismo & Winery Reviews

Where to begin... We still get emotional thinking about Il Palazzo and the wonderful people who made our wedding so special. We got married there in July with our closest friends and family and we booked out the entire venue for the 3 night stay. It was like being on our own little love bubble where nothing else existed but all of us and happiness. Laura and Valya were so kind and patient with us in the preparations, and gave us so much guidance. They were always calm, sorting us through any issue we had. During our stay they gave us all the support we wanted but they also gave us all space to be together and enjoy the event stress-free. It was the most perfect of times, and there were many tears when we left. The only way that I can describe it is that they made us feel like we were part of their family and the only wedding that they ever had or would have there. It was that special. As for the venue itself - oh my gosh - the peace, and beauty of it was mind blowing. It was pure, simple luxury. We could breathe and switch off from everything surrounded by such beauty. Everything about it was a delight. And the food - wow. We were in food heaven from breakfast to dinner and beyond. If we could marry there again every year, we would! It's so wonderful! Thank you Laura, Valya, and your fantastic team.xo

We had the most wonderful wedding at Il Palazzo in August and couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Our wedding planner Laura and her team, made our special day run incredibly smoothly — They were organised, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. It truly took so much stress off our shoulders.

We booked out the entire borgo for our family for the weekend, which created the perfect private and relaxed atmosphere. For the wedding day itself we had the ceremony at one of the gardens at the borgo and then headed down to the separate Winery for dinner and party, it was absolutely beautiful. The views across the Tuscan hills from the venue are breathtaking.

The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely throughout the weekend. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made our whole family feel so welcome and well looked after. Dinner and service were outstanding, and the wine was simply incredible. Everything felt special, seamless, and full of Tuscan charm.

If you’re looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service, caring staff, and views that take your breath away, Il Palazzo is the place.

We can't wait to come back and visit again in the future.

If you’re looking for a place that offers the best of Tuscany and where you’ll feel like home, Il Palazzo is for you.

We first came to Il Palazzo for a wine tasting in 2018, and after a few glasses of wine and a homecooked dinner, we quickly became family. Since then, we’ve celebrated New Year’s, enjoyed a perfect pool getaway for multiple summers, and even hosted 70 international guests for our three-day wedding back in 2024. Each visit feels like coming home to the most enchanted place!

We did not set out to have a destination wedding, but after watching a few sunsets on the property and feeling how genuinely excited all the staff were to celebrate our marriage, we knew it was the right choice. We were nervous coordinating from the US- but Laura exceeded all our expectations. She recommended our excellent bar and catering team (Lorenzo and Chef Goga at Osteria Grande), truly artistic floral design, hair and makeup, a dance floor, a gelato cart with our favorite Sunflower gelato, shuttle transportation, and more! We had a traditional Vietnamese ceremony and blessing inside the beautiful Santa Cecilia church which was built in 1000 CE and just a short walk from the property. Laura was quick to respond, always brought a positive attitude, and managed to find solutions for our wildest ideas.

Our guests who stayed on site with us said they felt they were experiencing “true Tuscany” after touring many other nearby places. The natural beauty of the property with olive groves, vineyards, flowers, vegetable gardens and sunset views required little additional decoration. We wanted a venue with separate locations for each event. What struck us immediately was that Il Palazzo was the perfect place for our wedding without feeling like a wedding venue.

We indulged in the amazing Il Palazzo wine, enjoyed a Pizza Party welcome dinner, and enjoyed a leisurely send-off brunch by the pool (which honestly turned into another full day of celebration!). We gifted guests Il Palazzo olive oil and we still get calls and pictures anytime someone uses it in their kitchen. Our guests enjoyed adventuring in Arezzo and avoiding the crowds of other Tuscan towns.
They loved their experience so much that many are planning to return to Il Palazzo to celebrate their own special events—we’ve received several requests to have an anniversary reunion party soon! We feel lucky to get to return to such a special and meaningful place, and that each time we return, we’re welcomed with the warmth and care of family. Whether you’re staying for just one night, or you’re planning one of the most important days of your life, choose Il Palazzo to be a part of your story, I promise, you won’t regret it. Salute!

We had our wedding at Il Palazzo and it really was a truly magical experience. Laura, Valia and all of the other staff ensured that our wedding was everything we wanted and more. We booked exclusive use of all rooms so we had the luxury of being able to use all facilities with only friends and family. Everyone had such an incredible time, from wine tasting and using the pool, to dinner in the Osteria and the wedding itself. Everyone agrees that Il Palazzo is not only a beautiful place but that the team truly want you to have a truly wonderful day. It was such a special day and one will be remembered by all as a wonderful weekend.

Il Palazzo turned out to be a hidden gem within the rolling hills of Tuscany. My (then) fiance and I went to many properties in the Tuscan region to scope out potential wedding venues. We easily settled into an agreement on Il Palazzo.

1. The people: it is a family run estate that really foster the culture of family. Laura was an amazing partner to all of our visits (3) leading up to the wedding and all of our wedding festivities (spanning 4 days, across countries, over the course of 18 months). She is responsive, thoughtful, genuine, and great at her job. The owner, his wife, and son were all wonderful and hospitable. We might not have spoken the same language, but the care was universally understood.
2. The staff: from the head chef to the waiters to the managers and the owners, every single person in the staff is well hearted and does their best. They are sincere in their hospitality and try to make your stay and event special. Even going beyond their comfort zones - Nicolai hand crafted our cake as as how for our wedding.
3. The venue: The photos don't do it justice. It's a mini community built into the estate with winding rows of olive trees, grape trees, and a little town of homes. We rented the full space and it truly felt like a village of our people. As you walk around from garden to pool to breakfast, you run into friends and family. Can pop down on chairs and tables to share time over coffee.

I can't wait to plan a future event here. Weather that be vow renewals, a vacation, a friend's escape, or another reason I can think up of to visit this place - i am excited and know that I am truly in great hands.

We had our wedding at Il Palazzo in mid September and it was an unforgettable experience. Laura and the whole staff made us feel like family throughout the whole planning process and during the 4 day wedding weekend. We rented all the apartments on site and made use of all the different areas and experiences Il Palazzo has to offer. The food, wine, venue and above all the people at Il Palazzo made for a dream weekend that I can't recommend highly enough!

Our wedding at Il Palazzo in Arezzo was truly a dream come true. From the moment we first spoke with Laura, over video chat, we felt a sense of trust and excitement. Planning a wedding from abroad without ever seeing the venue in person could have been stressful, but Laura made it effortless. She took care of every detail, offered wonderful recommendations, and ensured everything flowed perfectly on the day. The venue itself is breathtaking, but what made it even more special was Laura’s dedication, kindness, and eye for detail. Our guests were in awe, and we will cherish the memories forever. We cannot thank Laura and her team enough for making our wedding more magical than we could have ever imagined.

We recently celebrated our wedding at this stunning venue in the heart of Tuscany, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The surroundings are absolutely breathtaking—rolling hills, vineyards, and that signature Tuscan charm that made the entire weekend feel like a dream. In addition to a stunning set of surroundings, the venue itself is absolutely superb with its multitude of flowers and colorful bushes.

Laura, our host, was incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the entire planning process and during the event itself. Her warm and attentive approach made us and our guests feel truly welcome and cared for. She really helped us through the planning process and provided a wide range of suppliers and vendors for the different services - a major convinience when trying to plan your wedding from abroad.

The staff at Il Palazzo was also very attentive and serviceminded, and for the most part spoke good english.

The food was simply delicious—authentic, fresh, and beautifully presented. Paired with the venue’s excellent wine, it created a dining experience we’ll never forget.

One of the highlights was having all our guests stay on site for the weekend. The accommodations are very comfortable and beautifully decorated, and the layout of the property allowed everyone to relax, mingle, and enjoy each other’s company in a natural and joyful way. The pool area is especially popular with the kids (also the adult kids).

We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a magical wedding experience in Tuscany. It exceeded our expectations in every way.

When dreams come true, you have entered La Tenuta il Palazzo.. ✨
one year ago we found Il Palazzo - a jewel in the wine yards with an absolutely stunning view over Arezzo 😍 (1 hour to the south from Firenze).
The unique vibe and the family business what you can see and feel in every detail (interior in the rooms (all completely renewed) the very good kitchen (YES a winery with an restaurant) - you
can have breakfast, lunch & Dinner and enjoy a delicious fresh grilled Fiorentina, salads, sides which comes out fresh of the garden etc…
The perfect combination you will have with all of theire awesome wines (white, rosé, red) and everyone is delicious and matches to the food (of course also without food perfect to drink 😉).
When you sit in the restaurant with this breathtaking view and amazing quality of food & wine you are more than in love with this place.. 🥰
Which brings me to the most important thing in our lifes:
My husband and me decided to celebrate our wedding, one of the best and most important days in couples life at our absolutely happy place and we still have no words how perfect and breathtaking it was. Better than every dream and imagination you can have! Just magical!✨🙌🏽🙏🏽🥰😍
For weddings (depends a bit on the size or what you exactly want) you can choose to celebrate above at the Tenuta in the garden in front of the restaurant (here we had our magical ceremony with 4 leaves of those 🍀 in the grass 🥹✨) or you can celebrate down the hill around 200 meters) at another magical bigger place next to the winery shop (where they produce the wines). In front you can find an hidden small lake which gives you a lot of glitter moments when the sun catches the water ✨ the beautiful light chains which are luminous the garden in the evening gives the perfect light for dinner and afterwards for the dance floor.
The weather was more than perfect and the colours in the sky turned from
yellow to orange, rose, violet into red and blue which was more than breathtaking and underlined the feeling which surrounded all of us like an warm hug of this atmosphere of love! 🥰✨🙌🏽
I can’t even tell you in words how amazing and magical this place feels and I can more than recommend every future bride & grome to visit our happy place maybe it will
be yours too. 🙏🏽🥹
For your guests you can use all the rooms at the winery (16 rooms in 2 of them
you also have sleeping couches so 36-40 people max. can sleep at the winery - our other guests have been in hotels nearby in Arezzo).
The pool is amazing to use with bar service if you want. The son from the owners and his wife are so warmhearted people that we also can’t find words to thank them enough! 🫶🥹 @Laura all your suggestions, your lovely and caring mindset & all of your support was unbelievable, Grazie Mille that we have you! And you helped us that much that our big day becamed one of the best day we ever had! ❤️🙏🏽😘😘😘🙏🏽❤️ from now on we will come continuously and say cheers to the years! 🥂 Grazie mille

Wir waren in den vergangen Jahren schon einige Male im Il Palazzo und waren jedes Mal mehr als zufrieden! Dieses Jahr im August haben wir dann dort unsere Hochzeit gefeiert. Es war ein rund um perfekter Tag, was vor allem auch dem Il Palazzo Team und Laura zu verdanken war, welche super engagiert waren! Es wurde sich zu jeder Zeit um unser Anliegen gekümmert, telefonisch oder per WhatsApp immer schnell geantwortet und es wurden uns auch andere sehr gute Dienstleister empfohlen und der entsprechende Kontakt hergestellt. Laura hat sich um sehr viel gekümmert, was uns enorm geholfen hat, da wir kein italienisch sprechen und auch keine Wedding-Planerin hatten. Das war aber auch gar nicht nötig, denn sie hat alles nach unseren Vorstellungen umgesetzt. Auch am Hochzeitstag wurde sich um Dekoration usw. Perfekt gekümmert, sodass wir einfach unseren Tag genießen konnten. Alle unsere Gäste waren im Il Palazzo untergebracht und wir haben ausschließlich positives Feedback erhalten. Sowohl zum generellen Aufenthalt als auch zur Hochzeit. Jeder hat sich wohl gefühlt und war begeistert! Das Il Palazzo Team ist extrem herzlich und bemüht und wir würden jedem empfehlen hier zu heiraten wenn man eine wirklich unvergessliche und traumhafte Hochzeit erleben möchte!

Il Palazzo holds a special place in our hearts. The chapel was a perfect place for our intimate ceremony with breathtaking views for our photographs.
The service we have received from my first contact with Laura has been truly exceptional, she has been the perfect wedding planner. From our initial enquiry early in 2023 through to our special day in June 2024 nothing has been left to chance. Laura looked after our every need. She organised the most amazing catering team, celebrant, photographer and ensured that our special day was exactly that and so much more.
Our guests have said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended, they enjoyed wine tasting, a pizza party and time relaxing by the pool. The accommodation was beautifully presented, and the staff are second to none. We can’t wait to return.

From the planning with Laura to the actual venue “il palazzo” everything was seamless and absolutely incredible. Staff could not do more for you and were attentive and professional.
So friendly and kind and go above and beyond.
Every single person who attended the wedding described it as a heavenly place to be, not just to get married but as a retreat for everybody. Instantly felt relaxed and enjoyed every amenities they was offered, the beautiful pool was a real hit with our family and children. Views were simply breathtaking. Everything was 10/10 and we could not reccomend this place more.

From the moment we set foot in Il Plazzio, we knew we had found something extraordinary for our wedding. Nestled in the picturesque hills of Arezzo, this venue truly embodies the charm and elegance of Tuscany, providing a clean, hospitable, and friendly environment that made our special day nothing short of magical.

The venue itself is a stunning blend of rustic beauty and modern comforts. Surrounded by lush vineyards and majestic olive trees, Il Plazzio offers a breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony. The meticulously maintained gardens and the stunning views of the rolling hills made it feel like stepping into a fairytale. We particularly loved the option to incorporate the estate's own exquisite olive oil into our reception, adding a unique touch that celebrated the local flavors.

A special shout-out goes to Laura, who became like a family friend throughout this process. From our very first inquiry while we were still in the USA, she was incredibly accommodating and attentive, taking care of all the arrangements with grace and dedication. Her warmth and professionalism made planning from afar a breeze, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making our day perfect.

On the day of the wedding, the hospitality of the entire team was unparalleled. They made us and our guests feel like family, ensuring that everyone was comfortable and well taken care of throughout the event. The clean and well-organized spaces allowed for a seamless flow from the ceremony to the reception. We were particularly impressed by how well the team managed everything, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without a hint of stress. The exquisite wine selection, sourced from the estate's vineyards, paired perfectly with our meal and left a lasting impression on our guests. Each dish was a delightful representation of local flavors, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious.

If you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers not just a beautiful setting but also a supportive and friendly atmosphere, look no further than Il Plazzio. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we are forever grateful to Laura and the entire team for helping us create a magical experience that we, and our guests, will cherish for a lifetime. Highly recommend!
