Borgo Toscano

This 3000 square meters estate was a farming village passed between wealthy Tuscan families for centuries, populated by sharecroppers who worked the surrounding farmland for their livelihood – as the first trace in history, a tax and land audit from 1318 about the hamlet has been found. Thick stone walls, terracotta tiled floors, exposed wooden beams, fireplaces: located in panoramic position, the estate includes twenty-two bedrooms arranged around its central square, allowing it to function as its own community.

Gathering spaces include a formal dining room and outdoor dining terrace, a living room with grand piano and study, media room, library, bar, conference facility and ballroom accommodating up to seventy guests, a cantina and wine tasting room, a professional teaching kitchen, an interior arcaded courtyard, extensive lawn and garden spaces with various shaded benches and a gazebo. Recreational facilities also include a 60-foot oval swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, spa, a tennis, a basketball and a boules court. Individual suites are ample, luxurious, and private, while the public spaces are intended to encourage coming together in all the forms that might take: such gatherings most often include family reunions and special get-togethers, academic reunions, and retreats for groups united by special interests such as wine, cooking, art, architecture, music, history, biking or other athletic pursuits. It also serves as a place for corporate retreats and team-building.

Location

Situated in the most tranquil of settings on a rural hillside in the province of Siena in central Tuscany, the estate is located directly on the historic Via Francigena, the medieval pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome. It connected the monastic stopovers of Monte Oliveto and Sant Antimo and most likely hosted scores of pilgrims, merchants and adventurers through the centuries.

The hamlet own piazza was both a crossroads of the world and a place where the day-to-day personal interactions fundamental to life took place over hundreds of years.
