Over the centuries, Paluffo became a small borgo, or village, and many structures were added, including a well to draw water, an oven for baking bread, a cellar, an oil mill and a stable for farm animals. The territory became famous for its olive oil, wine, saffron, pork, flax, wheat and spelt production.
Paluffo derives its name from its original owners, the Paluffi family, who resided inside the main villa (now the bed & breakfast). The main villa dates back to the 17th century, although some rooms were built earlier, and is adorned with vibrant frescoes that depict rural landscapes and ornamental motifs painting in the Italian “grotesque” style.
