Our guests feel a deep affection for Borgo Santo Pietro, as if it were their home away from home. Upon arrival they feel an instant return to nature and can sense our love for tuscan traditions, with an overwhelming sense of wellness that includes our farm to plate cuisine, holistic spa and meditative gardens. With each of our 20 rooms individually stylised, our guests are able to select a room that reflects their personal taste which enhances their connection to their time at Borgo Santo Pietro.
Borgo Santo Pietro is an organic working farm which proudly connects our estate to the members of our local community. Our guests are encouraged to participate in the day-to-day running of the farm together with our community members, where together they are able to collect fresh eggs, harvest the vegetables from the market gardens and participate in the cheesemaking workshop made with the morning's fresh milk from our 300 sheep.
Our guests will reach out to us years after their visit to Borgo Santo Pietro and one of the first things they mention are members of the Borgo Team who had taken such good care of them during their stay. They also love to relive The Borgo Experience, when they took a flower arranging lesson with our in-house florist, had a private lesson with our resident artist midst the lake gardens, spent time with the animals, had "the best" cooking class with Mamma Olga or how they relished in some much needed meditative time in our manicured gardens
One of my favourite things to do with our guests is to take them on a tour of our 200 acre estate. I grew up in a family of gardeners and know the work that goes into growing and maintaining plants and animals, so I feel such a sense of pride when I take new guests, or our annual visitors, and show them all that has changed and grown in our gardens and farm. I love sharing our farm to plate philosophy as we bicycle through the gardens and they can see with their own eyes our talented culinary gardeners working to maintain the highest quality produce.
