We work with talented chefs to bring you the best in home cooking, cooking classes and wine & cheese tastings. We organize professional photo shoots for your family or group of friends. We have wonderful drivers who can be at your service for just a day or for your entire stay. We can schedule a private massage therapist to come right to the home for the pleasure and relaxation of one or many guests. Here is a short list of services we can help you with!
WELCOME DINNER, BREAKFAST, COOK
On the evening of your arrival, or any other night, one of our cooks
will delight you with a home cooked scrumptious meal made exclusively with fresh, local ingredients and in the most authentic Italian
style. The meals are fully served and customized for your group. Or,
you can indulge in a wonderful breakfast delivered to the kitchen
or garden, complete with fresh baked goods, juice, coffee, cereal,
yoghurt and more. Prices upon request.
GROCERY SHOPPINGCan be arranged upon your arrival so you have a full stocked refrigerator and pantry. We will provide you with a list that you can edit to suit your needs and add a small fee for handling it.
COOKING CLASS
We are lucky to have our friends and wonderful Michelin star chefs
Iside and Romano from "la Parolina" organize cooking classes for
our guests either at Podere Palazzo or in the kitchen of their restaurant. This is a wonderful experience if you want to explore the secrets of superb Italian food with a special chef’s flare. Dinner is served after class and wine pairings can be requested. Ask us about
the available custom menus!
WINE TOURS, WINE & CHEESE TASTINGS
At Podere Palazzo you will find a small cellar with selected wines
and a price list for your use. Feel free to drink all you want and we
can charge you for their use after your departure from the house.
If you have any specific wine requests let us know and we will try
to accommodate you. The wines are mostly a selection of local
and unique producers in a good range of prices and varieties.
If you want to know more about these and more delightful wines
and their characteristics and indulge in the perfect local cheese
pairings, we will organize a wine & cheese tasting and invite an
expert chef in the comfort of the house! A great way to learn
and savor the local territory so rich in both traditions.
We can also arrange wine tours to visit some of the most wonderful vineyards nearby and further away, with and without a driver.
Usually the tours are organized so you can visit 2 or 3 vineyards
for tastings in each one, with a light lunch or picnic at one of the
vineyards or good local restaurant. The Enoteca Experience is
another great way to enjoy Italian wines. An enoteca is a wine
repository that offers visitors an opportunity to sample many types
of wines and buy them if they like them. Many people think of
enoteche (plural of enoteca) as wine libraries when small quantities available and visitors can sample different wines from different producers at one location. Many of these establishments
also offer food to complement the wines served. The well know
"Enoteca Italiana", in Piazza Matteotti in Siena, is a wonderful
establishment that offers 1,000 different wines and is worth a visit
if you are wine aficionado.
WEDDINGS & EVENTS
Podere Palazzo is a place to celebrate life in all its beauty and
with the most dear people to you. Often our guests come to
celebrate birthdays, special events, weddings and each time
we love to help you organize them, taking away the stress of
having to do it yourself with limited time and resources. We
make the best of all of them as you can see from the reviews
we receive! We have a great network of professional people,
from caterers to musicians, from photographers to hair dressers,
who can make any celebration a memorable one.
If your wishes are simple we include that into the rental of the
hosue and if you need major planning we will work with you on
a small fee for our help. Ask us for details!
PERSONAL DRIVER & PRIVATE TOURSDifferent size cars and Minivans are available and can be scheduled in advance if you need to be picked up or dropped off at a train station, airport, or if you would simply like a chaffeur to take you to the places you want to visit without driving yourself. We can organize private tours to any destination for a single day or for the entire week. Our drivers will also allow you to explore out of the way castles, hamlets, wineries and vineyards and we can combine all this with wine tastings and special meals in the most beautiful areas of Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio. Let us know your needs and we will be happy to schedule this for you.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
We work with top notch photographers who will provide our
guests with wonderful personalized photo shoots that will make
the memories of Podere Palazzo everlasting! They will come and
spend time at the house with you for 2-3 hours to take a full
album of professional pictures of your family and/or group of
friends, or come for longer time and shoot your wedding or
special event at the house. They will deliver them to you in any
printed or digital format you desire. To see some of their beautiful
