Medieval Tuscan estate with organic farm, wineries, luxe spa
"Restored by the Ferragamo family beginning in 1993, this fully rebuilt medieval borgo sits amid more than 1,100 hectares of organic farmland where vines sit alongside vegetable gardens, fruit trees, beehives, cheese production and free-range eggs. Wine production ranges from top-notch Valdarno di Sopra DOC reds (Sangiovese and international varieties) to whites and an impressive sparkling rosé, Bolle di Borro; a standout bottle to sample is the Petruna, a 100% Sangiovese. The village itself houses 38 suites, artisan shops and several restaurants—from a casual poolside pizzeria to an elegant flagship osteria—while chef Andrea Campani sources estate produce for precise, seasonally driven dishes; booking a cooking class with his team is highly recommended." - Federico De Cesare Viola
"Housed in a restored 13th-century Tuscan castle and operated as a Relais & Châteaux estate, this property underwent a careful renovation to marry traditional Tuscan architecture with contemporary comforts while converting gardens, farms, and vineyards to organic management. Owned by the Ferragamo family, the estate sources many ingredients for its on-site osteria from its own gardens and farms, runs on renewable energy, and offers a range of restored suites, villas, and farmhouses where guests can enjoy well-regarded organic wines—primarily Sangiovese—by the pool, at dinner, or beside a cozy fireplace." - Lauren Mowery
"A renowned vineyard of over 40 hectares, vast olive groves pierced by cypress and oak trees, three villas, three sumptuous old farmhouses... and to top it all off, a fully restored medieval village!" - The MICHELIN Guide
"Il Borro is a sprawling estate in San Giustino Valdarno that Ferruccio Ferragamo bought in 1993 and have since been developing into the Tuscan luxury hotel to end them all." - Mark Fedeli
"For some of us, the fantasy of owning a Tuscan villa is sufficiently romantic; if you’re more ambitious, however, you set your sights on something closer to an old-fashioned Tuscan principality. Enter Il Borro, the sprawling estate in San Giustino Valdarno that Ferruccio Ferragamo bought in 1993 and have since been developing into the Tuscan luxury hotel to end them all. Il Borro comprises no less than an acclaimed, hundred-plus acre vineyard and winery, vast groves of olive trees amidst the cypress and oaks, plenty of rolling green hills, three villas, another three lavish farmhouses and — here’s the real coup de grâce — an entire restored medieval village. Given the scope of the estate, it’s almost unnecessary to mention that it also contains tennis courts, a driving range and a football pitch, to name just the athletic facilities." - Tablet Hotels
