Enjoy Il Palagio

“Il Palagio is like stepping into a painting. And one of my favourite places on Earth. I hope you fall in love with it as much as I have."

Sting

Il Palagio estate lies amid the rolling hills of the lush, fertile Tuscan countryside south of Florence. The private home of Sting and his wife Trudie Styler, the favourite retreat for their friends and growing family, this truly remarkable sixteenth-century estate nestling amongst the vineyards of the Chianti region is now available as a luxury events venue and bespoke holiday destination.

 

From the mid-1500s Il Palagio has harvested, fermented and bottled its own wines. Sting and Trudie have gone to great lengths to keep the tradition alive. Using organic farming methods, they have replanted 11 hectares of vineyards since 2000. Resulting in four beautiful reds: Message in a Bottle, Casino delle Vie, Sister Moon and When We Dance.

 

The grounds at Il Palagio offer a sprawling picture book for you to explore. Where countless small joys and moments of wonder await. Whatever your whim or desire, chances are Il Palagio offers it in a unique and memorable way. The estate extends some 350 hectares, much of the land given over to forest which boasts, among its countless natural wonders, some truly breathtaking lakes.
