Palazzo Ninci

Palazzo Ninci is a small, art-forward B&B in the historic heart of Civitella in Val di Chiana, set inside an 18th-century residence with a calm, lived-in Tuscan feel.

Historic atmosphere: Staying at Palazzo Ninci feels like living inside a restored palazzo, with period character and a strong sense of place right on the village’s main square.

Spacious, curated rooms: The B&B has three large rooms furnished with quality pieces and contemporary artworks, aiming for a quiet, home-like comfort rather than a standard hotel setup.

In-room comforts: Rooms include air conditioning, linens, bathroom products, free in-room Wi‑Fi, and a minibar with some complimentary items, which makes downtime between day trips easy.

Breakfast experience: Breakfast is served in your room, a nice fit for slow mornings—especially if you’re planning a late start before exploring the Val di Chiana.

Library and “stay-in” appeal: A library with over 2,000 volumes adds a cozy, unplugged option for rainy hours or relaxed evenings back at Palazzo Ninci.

Walkable sights nearby: From the door you can quickly reach local landmarks like the Praetorian Palace, the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, and the Memorial of the Massacre—ideal for a low-effort, high-reward village stroll.

Limited on-site facilities: As a small B&B, it may not offer the full-service amenities travelers expect from larger hotels (such as a staffed front desk all day).

Parking logistics: There isn’t on-site parking, so you’ll typically rely on free parking nearby and a short walk with bags.

Old-building quirks: The historic setting can come with practical trade-offs, and some guests may notice period features that feel less “modern hotel” than “heritage home.”
