We (a couple travelling with an intellectually impaired adult son) spent a week in Forno House in May 2013. We found the location of Il Paluffo and the standard of accommodation met all of our expectations - the beds really are great! The property is "as advertised" and our experience at Il Paluffo was consistent with the other positive reviews... More

Il Paluffo has got to be the best place we've ever stayed at. Words fail me. There is this extreme aura of magic which envelopes the property - maybe it's the hills, maybe it's the setting, maybe it's just the way the place has been done up. One can just sit there gazing out at the hills & feel this... More

We have been traveling to Tuscany for several years now, most of the tiome we take our bikes with us to do something for our fitness.. Il Paluffo was the perfect place to recreate after the workout. The pool is extraordinary - we even learned to like the never ending sound of the frogs ;) We will surely come back...

I had the opportunity to spend a long week end at Paluffo with a group of friends, in May 2013. The location is stunning, at the very heart of the Chianti region, surrounded by a sea of green hills, olives trees and vineyards. The property has been tastefully and passionately restored by the owners, Luca and Liana. Every stone and... More

I would like to comment on the natural beauty of the people that restored this natural place. The mother, father and son (and cat). I can only see goodness in the hearts and souls of these people.

It's fantastic that places like Paluffo even exist in real life, and when staying there you feel luck that this beautiful house - set in a breathtaking Tuscan location - was turned into a b&b for you to enjoy. The way it has been restored succeeds in the nearly impossible task to not only preserve its beauty, but also actually... More
