The origins of the Il Borro village are found in the history of medieval Tuscany and the people who established the region’s fame. Every alley, every stone speaks of a time where flavours and scents are reminiscent of a rare and authentic Tuscany.
Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees along Via dei Sette Ponti an area rich in art and culture between three main cities: Florence, Arezzo and Siena, the Estate is an open window over history.
The Medici dynasty, the Savoia and now the Ferragamo family have safeguarded and preserved this precious oasis, suspended between past and present, a sanctuary dedicated to well-being and the art of hospitality.
Il Borro Relais & Châteaux ***** is a perfect location to celebrate your event. The Relais is an ideal blend of tradition and luxury in the picturesque setting of the Tuscan countryside.
