 Borgo Pignano 

 



 

 

 

 

 

## Borgo Pignano 



### (££) 



  

Set within a sprawling 750-acre organic estate, Borgo Pignano blends centuries of history with impressive sustainability. Dating back to the 12th century, the property is just a short drive from the pretty hilltop towns of Volterra and San Gimignano. Accommodation is spread across the estate, with a central villa, ten maisonettes and six larger villas dotted around the grounds. The estate grows much of its own produce, with fruitful olive groves and beehives contributing to its farm-to-table dining offering. This is just one reason why its destination restaurant, Villa Pignano, holds a Green Michelin star. Here, diners can enjoy long lunches of light dishes featuring sustainably sourced ingredients. Elsewhere, more relaxed meals can be enjoyed in its casual al fresco restaurant. All of the hotel’s heating comes from renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and woodchip boilers fuelled by timber from the estate. Guests can enjoy private art lessons and horse riding, or simply spend afternoons lounging by the hillside pool.

*Rooms from €350 per night.*

## Castello Di Vicarello 



### (£££) 



  

Built on a hilltop in the Maremma region, family run Castello Di Vicarello is a 12th-century castle that has been carefully transformed into a luxury boutique hotel. With ten designed suites and a separate villa, the property blends medieval architecture with luxurious interiors – think antique furnishings, rich fabrics and open fireplaces. The estate’s own vineyards produce excellent wines (if you’re not staying, visit for a tasting), and guests can enjoy dishes made from seasonal, organic produce grown on site. Activities range from truffle hunting and wine tasting to yoga classes and hikes through the Tuscan hills. The infinity pool, overlooking the rolling country, is the perfect spot to relax and take in the views.

*Rooms from €720 per night.*

## Borgo San Vincenzo (££) 



  

In Val d'Orcia, Borgo San Vincenzo is a boutique hotel set within a restored 18th-century borgo (village). It’s a great choice for foodies because of its access to nearby vineyards and local restaurants – its 21 rooms and suites are even named after different wine bottle sizes. Interiors are simple and traditional, so original features like local stone and exposed beams take centre stage. Its prime location in Montepulciano wine country means there’s no shortage of vineyard tours and tastings to enjoy, and the hotel itself offers curated wine experiences and cooking classes that celebrate Tuscan cooking. The relaxed atmosphere extends to the hotel’s outdoor pool, where guests can lounge with sprawling country views.

*From £240 per night.*

Housed in a restored farmhouse, the property is surrounded by olive groves and fragrant herbs, with beautiful views from every corner. The highlight is the panoramic terrace, where you can take in the sweeping views down to the sea, whether you're enjoying fresh pasta made from local ingredients or unwinding with a book. The design is understated yet chic, with vintage wrought-iron furnishings and plenty of outdoor space to relax. Guests can relax in the heated saltwater pool and enjoy a wide range of activities, including wine tasting at local vineyards, drawing workshops, yoga lessons, boat trips and bike rides around the local towns.
