Set within the walls of a former residential villa, Borgo Pignano Florence spans thirty acres of landscaped gardens on the Montughi hill north of the Tuscan capital. The owners have completely renovated the property, transforming what was once simply a lovely private residence into a high-end establishment. The sculpted colonnades, vaulted ceilings, and imposing monumental stone staircase have been admirably preserved. Large bay windows in the rooms and suites frame views of the property’s garden of earthly delights and the vast heated swimming pool. Though just minutes from Florence’s historic center, Borgo Pignano Florence is an oasis of peace and quiet with two superb restaurants: Essenza, the gourmet establishment, and Cedrus, a garden dining option open in the summer with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Borgo Pignano Florence

Essenza

On this superb 2,700-acre Tuscan estate, time seems to stand still. Owned by Ferruccio Ferragamo, Il Borro is a charming oasis reminiscent of a medieval hamlet comprising a 19th century villa, farm, and outbuildings. Here in this landscape, typical for the region, excellent wines and organic olive oils are produced using traditional methods. Whether exploring the hamlet's winding lanes, relaxing by the infinity pool, enjoying a treatment at the Il Borro spa, or savoring the flavors of the refined cuisine at the Osteria Del Borro, an original and unique experience awaits. Authenticity, respect for the environment, culture, and the promotion of excellence are the foundations of Il Borro's sustainable philosophy.

Osteria Del Borro

Hotel and restaurant in a village.

Nestled in the heart of the Chianti region, the Pieve Aldina embodies the spirit of a Sienese hamlet. This hotel, located on the Chiantigiana, the picturesque wine route that links Siena to Florence, invites you to fully enjoy Tuscany’s charms. Surrounded by vineyards, cypress and olive trees, the main building dates back to the 10th century and was once a summer residence to the bishops of Siena. Most of the historic building’s terracotta floors, beamed ceilings and charming archways are original. They highlight the local style of this authentic address beautifully. The region’s rich culinary heritage is showcased in the two restaurants, both with terraces, including the oenoteca. After a day well spent exploring the area’s wine cellars or taking part in a cooking class to learn the art of making delicious fresh pasta, you can enjoy a relaxing massage and lounge by the pool overlooking the valley.
