High on a mountain top sits a 750-acre estate. The main building was an 18th century villa that has been converted into room and suites. There are also 4 villas on property; one 5 bedroom villa and three 2 bedroom villas. Two more 3-bedroom villas are in the process of being constructed. The villas are pet friendly; however, there is an additional 50-euro fee. The property also has 31 rooms and 2 pools; one for adults only.
The spectacular views you will enjoy from your room and the property won’t disappoint. The goal is to immerse yourself in nature. The hotel is sustainable and makes every effort to recycle and be eco-friendly. They have solar panels, a water filtration system, an recycled water irrigation system and use wood chips in the boiler system from old trees to heat the property.
70% of the ingredients you eat when you dine at Borgo Pignano are produced on site. This includes a vegetable garden, herb garden, tea garden, honey, olive oil, pasta, grains, sauce, soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion in the rooms, spa products and of course wine. They even make their own silk scarves for women. All the products are ecological and do not use any chemical.
There is plenty to do on property; starting with a grand tour.

On a typical afternoon you will see groups having a wine tasting as they sit overlooking the mountains, people enjoying the grand lawn playing chess, chatting or reading a book. Splashing in the pools and lounging in the sun. Borgo Pignano encourages its guests to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and take time out to be in nature.

There is a formal fine dining restaurant as well as a boutique Tuscan restaurant with one group table of 14 to encourage guests to enjoy dinner communally in true Tuscan fashion and flavor. Reservations are required for this restaurant due to the limited number of seating.
