History :
Villa La Palagina is a splendid 16th century villa which combines its old beauty with the sobriety and elegance of a modern construction.
Positioned in a beautiful part of the Chianti Classico region, immersed in a park of century-old plants, it enables tourists to see how things were in times gone by - a relaxing environment amid breathtaking panoramic views.
Ages ago where now stands Villa La Palagina there used to be a convent of Vallombrosan nuns. We don't have many records of this convent because it seems to have been destroyed by an earthquake.
From the rubble Villa La Palagina was built. As time passed the villa was owned by the family of Bettino Ricasoli, a baron who owned several castles and properties in the Valdarno area. Evidence of this can still be seen - the iron initials B and R are still on one door of the villa. Just to remember, Bettino Ricasoli was twice the head of the government of the Kingdom of Italy. For many consecutive years he was the Mayor of Gaiole and a promoter for the constitution of the Agricultural Co-operative of Chianti Classico.
