Located among the beautiful hills of Tuscany, in the heart of Valle Serena and really close to Florence, Borgo Santo Pietro is a charming old Tuscan villa which was converted into a fantastic boutique hotel. Actually, since the 13th century, locals and travelers alike have taken refuge in this charming stone villa, and who could blame them?
At Borgo Santo Pietro, a massive brick oven bakes bread and dries figs the same way it did hundreds of years ago, contributing to a one of a kind experience that will take you by surprise. There are just sixteen rooms that await lucky travelers, each of them blending classical furnishings and gorgeous antiques with high-tech amenities like plasma TVs, climate control, and iPad docks. Some rooms look out to the rustic garden, which also provides for the herbs added to your sophisticated meals.
Michelin-Starred Chef Andrea Mattei highlights the region’s freshest farm foods in the most incredible way. The freshly updated Meo Modo restaurant at Borgo Santo Pietro will impress guests with classic, locally-sourced dishes, savored in a relaxed atmosphere. And if you thought this was enough, you’ve got another thing coming.
You see, various other unique amenities also await guests at Borgo Santo Pietro. Among them, we can count complimentary mountain bike rentals, paid Vespa scooter rental, ping pong tables and the very special Borgo Cooking School. I’m not sure who would go on a holiday and learn to cook, but if there’s ever a perfect place to learn how to prepare a few dishes, it’s definitely at this charming hotel in Tuscany, guided by Chef Andrea Mattei.
