A UNIQUE BLEND OF HOSPITALITY, TASTE, WELLNESS, ART, TRADITIONS AND SENSATIONS. An over-800 hectare estate in the heart of Va ... ldarno, the green valley of the River Arno, Il Borro’s fascinating one thousand years of history has been a succession of some of Italy and Europe’s most noble families. The estate includes a medieval village brought back to life by the enthusiasm and dedication of the Ferragamo family, which has made it a destination like no other in the world. A stay at Il Borro means experiencing Tuscany at its most authentic, where various types of luxury accommodation co-exist harmoniously with the life of a state of the art farming business that makes eco-sustainability its philosophy. A large part of the accommodation at Il Borro is in the medieval village, a Relais & Chateaux consisting of 35 exclusive suites, each with its own character and story to tell. Each one different from the other, they have little private gardens or balconies, and romantic, breathtaking views. Time stands still here to let you experience sheer enjoyment and relaxation. A LONG TRADITION IN WINE AND FOOD Under the leadership of Executive Chef, Il Borro offers a culinary experience that has its roots in Tuscan tradition, the use of prime local produce and modern interpretations of recipes from times gone by. Each of the estate’s three restaurants – Osteria Il Borro, Il Borro Tuscan Bistro and Vincafè - offers a unique experience. HONEY, OLIVE OIL, WINE AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE Love for this land means above all, respect. Renewable energy, the use of natural fertilizers and no pesticides – all practices here are oriented towards sustainability and respect for the life cycles of products and the land. This philosophy pervades all activities on the estate, creating a union between luxury hospitality and the life of a state of the art farming enterprise, and making it a truly unique place. read more
