Borgo Pignano is an elegant, retreat in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, near the historic towns of Volterra and San Gimignano and the medieval cities of Florence and Siena. At the heart of this 750-acre organic estate is a hamlet that dates back to Etruscan times and a magnificent 18th century villa. Today this beautifully restored country estate offers warm and gracious hospitality in a tranquil setting with luminous views that can extend to the Mediterranean, seventy miles away. At Borgo Pignano you can enjoy an authentic Tuscan experience surrounded by an organic farm, biodynamic kitchen gardens, olive groves, horse pastures, orchards, meadows, lakes, waterfalls and ancient forests. The living connection between inside and out can be experienced throughout the Pignano estate. Flowers from the gardens are everywhere in the villa, farmhouses and apartments. Seasonal menus are based on biodynamic vegetables and fruits harvested at their finest. In winter, open fireplaces crackle and blaze with timber harvested from the borgo’s woodlands. Borgo Pignano’s central building, an 18th century villa, is bordered by traditionally planted English gardens overlooking pristine landscapes of Tuscany, unchanged since Renaissance times. Pignano has exclusive maisonettes and cottages that are an easy walk from the main villa, restaurant, gardens and infinity pool.
