Palazzo Tiglio

Take a cue from Italian nobility and head for the rolling hills of Tuscany, where the walled gardens of Palazzo Tiglio unveil a boutique hotel with classical charms and modern comforts. Perched on a hilltop in the rustic hamlet of San Pancrazio, the breathtaking scenery of the Valdambra unfolds below, inviting exploration of ancient olive groves, family-run vineyards and quaint Tuscan villages. 

Inside Palazzo Tiglio, rooms are an effortless blend of heritage features and contemporary style, from Italian antiques to opulent fabrics, to faithfully restored wooden floors. Further tasteful touches include Ortigia Read more[SPLIT]Read lessproducts and flowers gathered from the hotel’s own garden. Spanning the entire top floor and ideal for groups, the Piano Superiore apartment features a large drawing room with a ‘stufa’ – a cosy Italian log burner. Beyond in the hotel’s grounds, explore the beautiful rose garden, organic kitchen garden, and swimming pool – with plenty of shady spots for lounging on balmy days. 

Whether sun-drenched mornings or hazy afternoons, refreshments are easily found and readily enjoyed. Head to heart-of-the-village La Cantinetta for a morning espresso, make for the shelter of the walled garden’s L’Orto Bar for soft music and aperitivo, then turn to the terrace for al fresco dining with a view. Take the taste of Tuscany home by signing up for a cooking class with a professional chef at Palazzo Tiglio’s kitchen studio, or explore local delicacies in the nearby towns and villages. Pretty Arezzo is close by, and offers stunning architecture, antique markets, and excellent shopping.
