In the sleepy village of San Giustino Valdarno, little has changed over the centuries. Wines and olive oils are produced by traditional methods, while the locals go about their business among ancient buildings and elaborate floral displays.

Il Borro fits its surroundings, disguising its many treasures behind a medieval facade. The hotel comprises of an ancient villa and farm buildings, conserved and equipped with all the modern trappings a discerning traveler expects. This bounty is spread across 40 guest accommodations, ranging from the calming confines of the Classic Suites to the oversized Villas. Across all categories, WiFi is complimentary, living rooms are spacious and the en-suite bathrooms boast separate baths and showers.

Chef Andrea Campani is a native of the area, and his pride in Tuscan cuisine is clearly apparent in the creations at Osteria Del Borro. The menus here change with the seasons, providing guests a contemporary twist on some regional favorites. When surrounded by vineyards, a little vinotherapy is hard to resist and a range of labels are available to sample from the hotel's own private vineyards.
