Luxury Holidays At Borgo Pignano

It is no understatement that Borgo Pignano is a little slice of Tuscan heaven. Set amid 750-acres of organic farmland in an 18th-century villa and Etruscan hamlet, the estate exudes character. The full working farm is the soul of the property, producing fresh food and herbs that are used to create exquisite farm-to-fork menus and transformed into wonderful organic soaps and spa products. There is plenty to experience across the estate, whether you wish to visit the stables and go horse-riding, create your own herbal infusions with the herbologist or learn about honey-making with the beekeeper. Each room, suite and private villa has its own unique sense of charm, while the service is exceptionally warm and friendly. It also boasts a west-facing location, making for stunning sunset displays, made all-the-more magical by cocktails from the resident mixologist – on clear nights, you can even see the island of Corsica in the distance. Something of a secret to many UK visitors, this undiscovered gem is the perfect Tuscan hideaway.

Why Borgo Pignano is so special...

keyboard_arrow_left

Culture & History

Borgo Pignano is set in a 18th century villa and hamlet surrounded by 750-acres of organic farmland, which is dedicated to producing traditional organic food. Some of the original remaining walls date back over 2,500 years to the first settlement of people who lived here, while over the last nine-hundred years, the site has seen battles, a hospital and hardships of WWII. In addition, the Borgo Pignano Art Gallery and exhibition space, set in the hotel’s restored farmhouse building, is a wonderful place to discover inspiring contemporary artworks. Nearby, you can find the historic towns of Volterra and San Gimignano, plus the cities of Pisa and Florence.

You can also learn how to make your own traditional bread, focaccia and pizza with a cooking class or enjoy wine tasting in the historic 18th century villa cellar with an expert. If you are feeling inspired by the beauty of your surroundings, join a painting class, or if you’d rather unwind then join a yoga session out on the lawn.

Climate

The climate in Tuscany is generally very mild. The coast and valleys tend to have hotter summers than the hills or mountains although the coast benefits from breezes off the sea for cooler temperatures. April and May as well as October and November are good months to visit Tuscany: when the days are mostly sunny.

Winter offers many mild days but nights are cold, particularly in hill areas. Just dress in layers, to be prepared for shifts between daytime and evening.

Getting There

Flight Information
British Airways from London Gatwick and London Heathrow to Pisa.

Flight Time
From London to Pisa: 2 hours, 10 minutes.

Pisa

Best known for its iconic Leaning Tower, charming Pisa’s appeal does not stop there. Stroll beneath the Tuscan sunshine past Romanesque buildings, striking churches and Renaissance piazzas; the magnificent Duomo was begun way back in 1064, boasting a glorious tiered exterior and famed elliptical dome. Discover the countless museums and art galleries that the city houses, explore the hauntingly beautiful Camposanto cemetery (home to a number of iconic Pisans), before an evening of authentic Italian food and great wine in Pisa’s vibrant bars and restaurants.

Pisa
Food and Drink

For those with an interest in wine, the Chianti wine-producing region is blessed with some excellent vineyards where wine-tasting is a popular pastime. Numerous local trattorias and restaurants in both towns and countryside offer you the chance to indulge in tasty Tuscan cuisine. And, for fantastic ice-cream, head for any of the ‘gelaterias’ on Florence's Ponte Vecchio.

Food and Drink
Art & architecture

Birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, Florence is an art-lover’s dream. Beauty reflects from wherever you look, whether it’s the impressive Duomo which dominates the skyline, the picturesque Ponte Vecchio bridge over the river Arno that is lined with shops or the world-fabled Uffizi Gallery that is filled with some of the world’s most precious paintings and antiquities.

Art & architecture
Explore

If you wish to explore Tuscany in some depth, hiring a car is a great idea. Highlights for your sight-seeing list should include Lucca, with its maze of backwaters lined with captivating shops and restaurants, while the hilltop town of San Gimignano, with its famous stone towers soaring above the horizon, offers an array of architectural delights.

Explore
Siena's Palio

Whilst Siena’s charming gardens and pretty wells ooze romance, the city is also famed for its fast-paced, warlike Palio battles, perhaps Italy’s most famous annual sporting event. Twice annually, on 2nd July and 16th August, ten fearless jockeys race bareback around the famed Piazza del Campo, in a historic race held to honour the Virgin Mary. Join thousands of passionate locals and soak up the inimitable atmosphere of excitement and anticipation, as you wait to hear the thundering hooves as they pass. For the ultimate Palio experience, join a festive open-air dinner held by each of the city’s districts on the evening before the big race.
