Fattoria Palazzeta – Pet & Family Friendly

Hotel Description

So I stumbled across Fattoria Palazzeta while looking for a place to stay in Cecina with my dog, and honestly? It ended up being one of those happy accidents that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something special. The place sits on Via Vecchia Livornese – which, if you know the area, is that quieter stretch that runs parallel to the main coastal road but without all the traffic noise from people rushing to Marina di Cecina.

What struck me first was how genuinely family-oriented this place is, and I don’t mean in that forced, we-stuck-a-playground-in-the-corner way. The owners actually get it – kids need space to run around, parents need to relax, and pets (well, they just need to be welcomed without side-eyes from staff). There’s this lovely farmhouse feel to the whole property, which makes sense given the “Fattoria” name, and you can tell they’ve put thought into creating spaces where a toddler having a meltdown won’t ruin everyone’s vacation. The rooms are surprisingly spacious – I mean, you’re not going to get lost in them, but there’s enough room that you’re not tripping over suitcases and dog toys every five minutes.

The location is actually pretty perfect if you want to explore this part of Tuscany without staying right in the tourist madness. You’re about a 10-minute drive from the beach at Marina di Cecina, but far enough inland that you get those beautiful rolling hills and that proper Tuscan countryside feeling. I loved walking my dog in the mornings – there are these great little paths that wind through the olive groves nearby, and the early morning light hits the cypress trees just right. Plus, you’re close enough to hop over to places like Volterra or San Gimignano for day trips, but you come back to this peaceful spot where you can actually hear the crickets at night instead of car horns. The 9.7 rating doesn’t surprise me at all – the staff remembers your name, they actually care about whether your stay is going well, and when they say pet-friendly, they mean it (my slightly anxious rescue dog was treated like royalty). It’s the kind of place where you end up extending your stay if you can, because checking out feels like leaving friends behind.

• Can't wait to come back! – Kamalatharsi from Switzerland – 17 May 2024 (10/10)

  The real gem of Fattoria Palazzeta is its people. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. For example, when the staff noticed there was a room that would better suit our family with a small child, thanks to easier garden access, they kindly upgraded us at no extra charge. We felt completely at home and loved using all the facilities. The room came well-equipped with everything needed for our 1.5-year-old, including a high chair, toilet reducer, bathtub, bike trailer, dinghy, and cot. The bikes available for guests added a fun element to our stay, allowing us to cycle to the beach, which was a blast. The breakfast was also fresh and delicious! We're already excited about our next visit!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing 🙂

• Excellent – Milan from Czech Republic – 2 May 2024 (10/10)

  Two floor Bungalow was spacious, living room with sofa, well equipped kitchen, wardrobes and storage, two baths. Garden, grill. Large pool on meter distance and little rabbit farm. Those are properties. But the staff was the best ever. Both ladies give you a home feeling. Certainly give help and advice in all aspects. Was only three days stay next time will be obviously more.
