Palaia, a small municipality of the province of Pisa, develops just in the heart of the Upper Valdera. Idyllically set amidst lush green hills, this picturesque town is peppered with beautiful churches, and it is situated a short distance from further lovely villages. Like the other centres of Valdera,  Palaia is especially famous for wine and oil production.

Hotels in Palaia offer modern comforts and first-class services and facilities. The local inns and farm houses welcome guests with the typical warm hospitality from Tuscany, and give them the possibility to enjoy well-kept spaces and exquisite cuisine. The city's residences give tourists the possibility to stay at comfortable vacation homes and flats while experiencing a closer touch with the glorious surrounding countryside.

Palaia nestles on the top of a sweet hill that rises halfway between the course of the streams Chiecina and Roglio. Its old town, that is crossed by narrow streets and winding lanes and peppered with picturesque squares, revolves around two churches of great artistic value.
The Romaneque-Gothic Parish Church of St. Martino, that was built in the XIII century, boasts a splendid facade of unrivalled beauty. The Parish Church of St. Andrea is embellished by a beautiful thirteenth-century portal, and its interior cherishes a precious terracotta by Andrea della Robbia and a fourteenth-century crucifix by Andrea Pisano.
Palaia is situated a short distance from the picturesque villages of Marti, Bucciano and Villa Selletta. Wine lovers won't miss the opportunity to visit Palaia's cellars, where the famous  Colline Pisane DOC wine is produced.
