Holiday Homes in Palaia

Very comfortable beds. Fully equipped kitchen. Very helpful hosts who explained local attractions. Great restaurant next door.

Beautiful location, large garden/terrace with a super view of Pistoia.

Beautifully authentic two-story house full of trinkets and old elements. Equipped with modern conveniences like oven and microwave. Everything is clean, works fine and seems to be maintained. Cozy filter coffee machine present in the deliciously cool kitchen (ground floor) but no dishwasher. So wash the way it has been done for years with a brush. There is a (large) TV on the first floor (living room). In both bedrooms there is virtually noiseless air conditioning which is self-adjustable in the way the user wishes. There are windows for windows placed on the 2nd floor so you can always open your window and do not bother bugs. The double bed in the main bedroom has a spiral mattress (use is noticeable) and is for people up to 185-190 cm. We have nevertheless slept well. Terrace outside offers plenty of shaded areas, and there are lovely lounge chairs (and even a rocking chair). The view is magnificent and there is always a good breeze due to the thermal threats due to the height and temperature differences with the valley. Especially in the afternoon when the sun is the most powerful, it is very pleasant. Parasol is not movable, but can be put in different positions. Wi-Fi only on 1st and 2nd floors is regularly removed. The nearest dining area (Pizzosteria Al Piesto) is directly at the foot of the hill (7 steep hairpin curves). This is to walk 15 mins down, 20 mins up! Washing machine is included (take your own detergent) and works fine.Florence is fine by train from Pistoia (35 min) cost return per person 8.80 euro! Parking nearby The station is a parking place "Pertini" and you can stand for 2 euros all day! Tip take binoculars to spot birds of prey that float on the thermal! Improvement points -no mechanical ventilation in bathroom-no corner for bathroom window-light soot
