Borgo Pignano is an elegant country estate in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, just a short drive from the historic, hilltop towns of Volterra and San Gimignano. A member of National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World, the 750-acre organic estate blends a working farm with a world-class resort experience and also acts as an ideal base for exploring Florence, Siena or the vineyards of Chianti nearby. The former 18th century villa and hamlet dating from Etruscan times has been sensitively restored to capture the soul of Tuscany through its architecture, culinary and wellness traditions; with a contemporary twist.

Borgo Pignano is one of those places that is genuinely difficult to put into words. My husband and I visited once before falling so completely in love with it that we decided almost immediately to host our wedding there. We returned a second time ahead of the wedding, and then spent a full week on property during the wedding itself — and across every single visit, the experience was consistent in the best possible way. The property itself is extraordinary. Expansive and impeccably maintained, it offers an almost overwhelming array of things to do and see — pools, a spa, horseback riding, an apiary, basketball courts, biking, walking trails, and some of the most stunning landscaping we have ever encountered. Whether you want total relaxation or to stay busy the entire time, Borgo Pignano accommodates both effortlessly. As a foodie, the food was one of the biggest reasons I was drawn to Borgo Pignano in the first place — and it never disappoints. The restaurant holds a green Michelin Star, and you feel that commitment to excellence in every bite. What makes it even more special is that nearly everything on your plate is grown or produced right on the property itself — vegetables, salami, and so much more. It is farm-to-table in the truest sense of the word. During our wedding weekend, with nearly 100 guests over four days, the kitchen did not miss a single beat. Our guests were raving about the food all weekend long, which is truly the highest compliment I can give. But what elevates Borgo Pignano above any other property we have visited is the staff. They are warm, attentive, and remarkably responsive — and that has been true on every visit, whether we were a couple quietly exploring the property or at the center of a large, complex event. Our wedding required constant coordination between the property team and our external planning team, all while managing the needs of ~100 guests over four days, including two days of exclusive buyout. Despite all of that moving complexity, and even with intermittent rain requiring last-minute adjustments, the staff handled everything with calm professionalism and grace. We also brought our miniature dachshund to the wedding, and the team could not have been more welcoming or accommodating toward her. A small but equally telling example of their hospitality: at our welcome dinner pasta station, a guest mentioned he was gluten free. Staff not only made him a fresh portion on the spot, they then found him in the crowd to personally deliver it. That level of care is not reserved for special occasions — it is simply how Borgo Pignano operates. We are already looking for any excuse to return. Borgo Pignano is simply unlike anywhere else.

We went there for a wedding. We stayed at Villa Poggio - it was just magnificent with beautiful views of rolling hills. The village itself is rustic, but modern in everything else - the shower is one of the best I have experienced in Europe. Gigi, the customer relationships manager made our stay extra special- he is full of stories and history as he drove us to the neighboring old city of Gimignano I will like to bring my family, including the grand kids back. It is worth penny.

We were looking for rustic luxury set amidst tranquil nature with splendid views. We were hoping for excellent service and tasty food. From our arrival, when Gigi welcomed us in classic gentlemanly style and warmth - glass of Borgo Pignano fizz (it is delicious!) proffered - we felt our expectations exceeded. Fabrizio who attended us at dinner was the consummate serving professional - hugely knowledgeable, attentive, authentic and quick to laugh. We also wish a shout out to Ariana (who, on discovering my preferred blend of mint tea at dinner, unbidden ensured that I would have it at breakfast too) and Patrick who arranged for me to have a light lunch relaxing by the pool and ensured that we had bottles of water after we awoke from dozing. Besides being our guide on the Land Tour, Gigi would check in with us throughout our stay - warm, welcoming and discreet. Our time in the spa was very relaxing and our daily walks around the property (hunt out the waterfall!) were refreshing and idyllic. We loved the focus on organic, local produce - but most of all we loved that we felt welcomed as we would to the beautiful home of friends who know how to host. Thank you to you all.

Even better than the photos and what we expected. We got a free upgrade which was utterly fabulous. The beds were comfortable, and the staff was extremely attentive. The views are absolutely stunning, and I even took the paint class and got to paint them. It’s an incredible place where the whole village is at your disposal on 800 acres. Gigi toured us around and showed us all the details. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. One of our absolute favorite spots and we will plan to go back.
