The village of Peccioli, located on the hill overlooking the Valdera, is a tourist destination of great charm. The Touring Club Italiano has recognized its beauty by awarding it the Orange Flag for its ability to preserve the landscape, offer quality hospitality, and enhance its cultural heritage.
Peccioli has agricultural roots still reflected in the territory today, with wineries, oil mills, farms, and agritourism establishments.
In addition to its charming medieval center, Peccioli includes small historic villages such as Cedri, Ghizzano, Fabbrica, Montecchio, Libbiano, and Legoli.
Its strategic location, close to Tuscany's most beautiful art cities, makes it a trendy destination for Italian and foreign tourists.
Palazzo Senza Tempo
The history of Peccioli dates back to the 15th century when the farm and the Palazzo di Via Carraia were founded and owned by the Florentine Salviati family. In the 16th century, the farm passed to Piero Salviati, uncle of Cosimo I de' Medici.
The Salviati family were bankers and merchants who specialized in silk and wool, with interests that extended to Constantinople, London, and Bruges.
After Piero's death, the palace passed to the Almeni family from Perugia, probably as a sign of gratitude from Cosimo I de' Medici for their loyalty. The last heirs of the family were Isabella Nerli and Eleonora Bonaccorsi, who donated the property to Pietro Leopoldo, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and later to the Royal Treasury, which sold it to the Berte family.
