The origins of the village of Il Borro are lost in the history of medieval Tuscany and the famous people who established the reputation of the region. Every alley, every stone speaks of a time that once was, of flavors and scents that recall the memory of a rare and more authentic Tuscany. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, in the shadow of the cypress trees of the ancient Via dei Sette Ponti, (an area rich in art and culture between the three main cities of Tuscany Florence, Arezzo and Siena), Il Borro is an open window on history, a fresco to a far away world.
The Medici dynasty, the Savoia family and now the Ferragamo family have safeguarded and preserved this precious oasis, making this place, suspended between past and present, a sanctuary dedicated to well-being and the art of hospitality. You are welcome – one thousand years of history are waiting for you!
The rooms are an elegant portrait of the classic Tuscan style. Subjected to a meticulous restoration, they have retained their original features whilst enriching them with all the most modern comforts. Stay in historic villas or in one of the suites in the village and enjoy the unique culture of Il Borro.

Mikael & Art in Voyage far exceeded any expectation I had! The customer service, personal attention, selection of accommodations, included dinners, and tours were all exceptional. What was really special was Mikael’s ability to modify the “set” itinerary to allow us more time in Florence and Siena, as well as the addition of our cheese making class. This was definitely “not” your “normal” tour; it was so much more; truly a trip of a lifetime!
…unbelievable. The attention to detail was exceptional and our hosts Franck and Sophie were so very attentive. Although the rain tried to dampen our spirits it was not to be. From the Amalfi Coast to Rome to Tuscany we have memories we will hold dear.
