SATURNALIA VILLAGE ROOMS
Saturnalia Village Rooms is the new accommodation facility located in the heart of Saturnia, housed inside the Dimora Ximenes, a completely renovated historic palace from the 1600s with a unique design in country chic style. The main objective of the restoration was to preserve and enhance the historical details of the building: sack walls made of Saturnia stone, ceilings made of chestnut beams and bricks, and an irregular floor plan with completely asymmetrical walls.
This charming retreat offers a unique stay experience, combining the charm of historic architecture with modern comforts and refined style.
The property consists of five spacious and very bright double rooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, ensuring maximum privacy and comfort. Guests can relax in the communal living room, which includes a kitchenette, perfect for making coffee or a quick snack. Fresh water and coffee are always available free of charge for guests.

PALAZZO XIMENES
The Palazzo Ximenes, dating back to the early 17th century, during the rule of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, led by the Medici family, was entrusted to Marquis Sebastiano Ximenes of Aragon. This building, which today houses the Saturnalia Wine Bar & Village Rooms, was part of the large farmhouse that surrounded the main square of the village of Saturnia, where around 25 inhabitants lived at the time.
Over the centuries, the building has undergone various renovations. In 2021, it was acquired by the La Maliosa group, which carried out a careful restoration, preserving the historicity of the palazzo by using high quality materials that respected the historicity of the dwelling: clay for the structural part and for the soundproofing, cement-based paints, and fixtures and furnishings handmade by local craftsmen in solid wood. In 2023, the Saturnalia Wine Bar was opened on the ground floor, and in 2024 the Saturnalia Village Rooms were opened on the upper floor.
Palazzo Ximenes is now ready to welcome guests from all over the world, offering a refined and cosy ambience, ideal for a stay or even just a short break to relax while tasting a natural wine from La Maliosa.
