We were looking for an idyllic Tuscan getaway and Borgo Pignano delivered. The building and surrounding grounds are picturesque, encompassing historic buildings. What made our stay unique was the homey atmosphere and personal touch. We were personally welcomed by the General Manager, and the staff made extra effort to make a personal connection. The approach of the property is to recreate a home away from home (if you’re a wealthy villa owner with a full set of staff ha!) with an abundance of cozy common areas, limited signs, and a strong emphasis on sustainable, natural, and homemade products.
The views are divine. We stayed at the beginning of April, shortly after the property opened for the season. As such, there was a nice, small group of guests and it was very quiet. Additionally, this meant the pool (so gorgeous!) was closed - they were prepping it for opening later in the month. Special shoutouts to the restaurant manager and front desk staff for being friendly, personable and helping us feel at home. The breakfast spread (included) is wonderful and full of items grown or homemade on the property. Note, two restaurants are available and the prices are not for travellers on a budget. We dined one evening in a room with a communal table and open fireplace but were disappointed with the food for the price point. This, I’d say, was the only blip in our stay.
Stay here for a luxurious, yet homey getaway in Tuscany that is a destination in and of itself!
