Property Description

Sting’s villa in Tuscany, the magnificent il Palagio Estate may be one of the most fabulous villas and estates we have visited in Tuscany! This stellar air conditioned nine bedroom 16th Century villa is owned, and often inhabited, by rock and roll icon, Sting and his wife movie producer, Trudie Styler and features spectacular and well manicured gardens, a gorgeous large swimming pool, a tennis court, stables, brilliant organic vineyards, lush olive groves and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!  With a bilingual full staff of cooks, maids, gardeners and concierge, this marvelous estate is now available to be rented in its exclusivity for vacations and weddings for up to 400 guests!

From May 15th and September 15th Villa il Palagio must be rented with its entire estate which gives you the three annexes, the Red House, Casa Colonica and the Chalet, giving guests a total of 16 bedrooms which sleep 31 people.  

Please note that Villa il Palagio must be rented in its entirety – and does not rent individual rooms.

Originally built as a hunting preserve for a Florentine noble family, Sting and Trudi Styler lovingly renovated the villa and preserved its natural beauty and greatly enhanced it with an injection of style and charm. Il Palagio has a variety of locations for parties and events, indoor, poolside, in the wine cellar, under the loggia, or on the terrace for al fresco dining. It has a state of the art recording studio, a conference center, also designed to accommodate yoga classes, accommodations from 25 to 31 people in the Villa and the three guest houses on the estate.   Impeccably, but comfortably, furnished, Villa il Palagio is not only an impressive villa and estate – so much so that it was featured on CBS television in May of 2019 – but it is very much a warm and beckoning home – and offers its guests an elegant but extremely comfortable vacation in paradise.

 

Entering Il Palagio through the well equipped kitchen, you come into a gorgeous dining room with spectacular frescoed ceilings; this connects to a small study, where there is a a computer for guests to access the internet. From the office you proceed to a comfortable living room with a beautiful fireplace. Off the fireplace there is another office/study. From the study there is access to the main garden – and there is a dining table set up for fantastic al fresco dining.

FIRST FLOOR: Up the stairs ot the first floor, you come to the spacious private living quarters.   There are four bedrooms on the first floor, each with its own huge en suite bathroom with a claw foot tub as well as a shower.  Sting and Trudie’s bedroom is also on this floor but is sealed off and not included in the rental.

Second Floor:  Up the stairs to the second floor, there are another five beautiful large bedrooms each with its own en suite bathroom

Red House  2 Double bedrooms, 1 single bedroom and 2 bathrooms

Casa Colonica 3 double bedrooms, and two bathrooms

Chalet – 1 bedroom, one bathroom.

Villa il Palagio’s Italian Renaissance grounds are truly stunning. The terraced gardens are beautifully manicured and graced by a stunning stone fountain that once belonged to Sophia Loren. There is a huge swimming pool, a tennis court, a brilliant huge outdoor chess board, and that is just the tip of the iceberg! Hiking down past the villa’s award winning vineyard, there is a stable for guest who wish to bring their horses with them (il Palagio is the perfect estate for those into horseback riding with miles of trails to explore!) There is a large private lake with boats, with a huge tree-house for those who want to enjoy hanging out by the water.

The estate produces 12,000 bottles of olive oil and 4,000 cases of three different organic red wines annually, plus another 1,200 bottles of white wine and 4,400 bottles of rose
