Close your eyes. Open your eyes. Is it real or is it a postcard? We have been looking for a place like this for a long time. You are surrounded by the splendid Tuscan countryside, in the midst of olive trees and vineyards from which high quality fragrant olive oil and delicious white Vernaccia wine is made. Located directly on the ancient panoramic road which leads to the famous medieval town of San Gimignano and its famous towers, IL BORGHETTO awaits you with warm Tuscan hospitality.

Thanks to its central position in the heart of Tuscany, IL BORGHETTO is an ideal starting point to discover some of the most beautiful and atmospheric places in this region – Florence, Siena, Monteriggioni, Volterra, and of course San Gimignano!

The property offers11 apartments whose sizes vary so that we can be sure to satisfy the needs of all guests! We have one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with one or two bathrooms. Each apartment sleeps a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 6 people and is composed of a living room, kitchenette with microwave/grill and full fridge (dishwashers are provided in the larger apartments), heating/air conditioning, satellite TV sat and telephone. Some apartments also have a fireplace.

All apartments are charmingly furnished creating that typical Tuscan atmosphere, distinguished by taste and style, which is part of our tradition “la nostra terra”.

The villa is surrounded by a large park with centuries-old cypress trees. Guests can meander through the lanes among a rich variety of green plants, colourful flowers and delightful scents, or enjoy the shade under a delightful gazebo with wrought-iron tables and chairs, or treat themselves to a refreshing swim in a large 16 x 8-meter pool which has been specially placed to incorporate the spectacular views of the countryside. In addition the villa has ample parking spaces located inside the property.

For lovers of fine cuisine and prestigious wines, IL BORGHETTO is pleased to offer the possibility to dine three times a week in the magnificent gardens or else by candlelight in the romantic cellar. Our Chef creates traditional Tuscan dishes, with home-made recipes, accompanied by wonderful local wines and our own fragrant extra-virgin olive oil.

Keep your eyes open, you have found IL BORGHETTO!
