Set in the heart of Tuscany between Montepulciano and Cortona, the Borgo is a medieval hilltop hamlet that has been restored and transformed into a relaxing country retreat. All the rooms have been created within six farm buildings and have been decorated in a classical Tuscan style with light wood furniture, terracotta floors and exposed beams. Traditional Tuscan dishes and an excellent selection of wines are served in the restaurant, which has a panoramic terrace offering stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
The estate has three wineries, with the nearest being just 600 meters away, and there are a variety of wine cellar tours and tasting sessions available. In addition, guests can learn the art of cooking traditional Italian cuisine. The excellent facilities at the hotel include a tennis court and outdoor swimming pool. However, the more adventurous guests can discover the surrounding area by taking a mountain bike ride, a horse ride or even an exhilarating trip in a hot air balloon.
