Palazzo Brandano

In the tiny medieval village of Petroio amidst Southern Tuscany’s soft green hills and valleys the selective traveler finds a rare jewel: Palazzo Brandano, the Tuscan retreat. Far removed from the hustle and the bustle of nearby Siena, Petroio is a tiny Tuscan town perched on a hill. It has a butcher, a baker, and a cash machine that does not work. It has a church, a school, and a clinic with a doctor who comes once a week. There, in a sandstone fortress, Palazzo Brandano manages to blend 4 star service with the coziness of village life.
