This lovely villa of ancient origins is located 1500m to the historical town of San Gimignano and its famous towers in an elevated position, on top of a hill. Villa Arnilù, which is part of Agriturismo Niccolai, is surrounded by a large private garden immersed in the verdant Tuscan countryside. 
The first settlement, the ancient watch tower, was built before 1000. The other buildings were added later on to form a splendid example of spontaneous rural architecture, so typical of the Tuscan countryside.

At the Estate Palagetto, the attentive owners have married history and tradition with a necessary modernization of the producing facilities. Here you will find:

Guided tours to the modern and efficient wine cellar with its fascinating barrels and barriques stockrooms, two different areas for red wine and for white wine making, a bottling room and a storage for refinement in bottle. To be mentioned the estate mill where, from late October to December, visitors can attend the oil making process and the magic moment when olives are pressed to obtain an excellent extra-virgin olive oil;

Guided wine tasting in the beautiful and professional tasting room, next to the winery, where visitors can taste several types of local wines (red and white wines, wines to be drunk young or for long ageing) that made Azienda Agricola Palagetto famous all over the world. Not to forget Vin Santo (typical Tuscan dessert wine), grappa, and precious extra-virgin olive oil;

Relax in the well-kept gardens with the panoramic sun terrace, or in the reading room, TV hall and music hall on the ground floor of Villa Arnilù. For the most energetic ones, long training in the panoramic swimming pool enjoying fine views of San Gimignano medieval towers;

Unforgettable walks throughout the hills, across the vineyards, the olive groves, and the woodland, to breathe the atmosphere of this natural paradise, walking along the well-marked footpaths of the CAI network.

We can provide you many other services such as: shopping tours, sightseeing tours, trekking tours, bike tours, cooking classes and many more...
