Unique in the world: In this historical 1100 hectare tuscan estate, time would appear to have stood still.
At the heart of a centuries-old hamlet, Il Borro is one of the last hidden treasures of medieval Tuscany. Here, time seems to stand still. After the splendor of the Medicis and the House of Savoy, it is now the Ferragamo family who, since 1993, have taken care of preserving the property through the promotion of its history, traditions, and excellence. Il Borro offers several types of accommodation, including luxury suites in the hamlet and villas around its 2,700-acre estate. You can stroll around its old shops, go horseback riding through the countryside, or recharge in the comfort of the spa, which features a pool overlooking the medieval hamlet. The cuisine at the Il Borro Tuscan Bistro an the Il Borrobar is sure to satisfy all tastes with traditional and elaborate Tuscan dishes, always accompanied by a selection of the best organic wines produced on site.
Il Borro offers its guests accommodation ranging from well-appointed, charming suites to the luxurious and imposing main villa: Dimora Il Borro. For some twenty-five years, it has been lovingly restored by Ferruccio Ferragamo and his family, whose aim is to preserve the medieval character while offering thoroughly modern facilities.
The Il Borro’s approach to sustainability is thoroughly modern too. The estate now generates its own electricity, from a field of photovoltaic solar panels. These can produce about 2 MWh a year—enough to power over 500 households. This is over three times the main hotel’s needs and the estate returns renewably-generated energy back into the grid. Four of the estate’s villas have been converted to low-energy properties, where a combination of insulation, solar panels, and heat pumps (which generate green geothermal energy), have drastically cut both consumption and emissions.Water consumption is carefully managed too: the estate’s lakes are used as reservoirs to store rainfall over the year, which is used for both farming and irrigation.
