    Beautiful breakfast room. The breakfast itself was good. Loved the cappuccino machine. It would have been nice if they made it available all day versus only in the morning. The instant coffee packets they make available mid day are not on par...

    Il Paluffo is a well situated, well appointed villa located in the heart of Chianti, with comfortable up to date amenities and a friendly and most accommodating staff. Would go back in a heartbeat.
