We are in Tuscany, in the southern part of the province of Siena.Our farm spans approximately 30 hectares and is partly located in the municipality of Montepulciano and partly in Chianciano.Our family has lived at Palazzo Bandino for seven generations, and we have always produced wine, extra virgin olive oil, grains, vegetables, and high-quality meats. For about 20 years, we have dedicated part of our estate to welcoming guests from around the world, offering them fully equipped apartments or bedrooms with private bathrooms.The Valeriani family will warmly welcome you, guiding you to discover the countless treasures of Tuscany!
Surrounded by greenery, far from the frenzy and typical noises of the city: at Palazzo Bandino nothing is left to chance! We always do our best to ensure that respect for Nature is maximum in all aspects of daily life
While the world is experimenting with genetically modified organisms, we continue to raise Chianina calves fed only with the fodder of our land. We can thus offer our guests ancient and genuine flavors: tasty steaks, spelt like that of the ancient Etruscans, Sangiovese aged in ancient oak barrels and much more! Our family lives in Palazzo Bandino and right there, on the surrounding hills, they grow in a traditional way all the products that are then offered to our guests. Come and breathe the pure air of our hills!
This system allows us to use wood waste from pruning the vineyard, olive grove and woods as fuel, which is shredded using a special machine (a so-called chipper) and reduced to chips. In this way, thanks to a boiler, we provide heating for the entire structure! We are thus able to cover approximately 80% of the energy needs of the entire complex. The adoption of this innovative system has allowed us to eliminate all the gas boilers previously installed with the great result of using a renewable, economical fuel and…with an “aftertaste” of cellulose!
