Borgo Petrognano Guest House, Bed and Breakfast near Ugolino Golf Club, Barberino Val d'Elsa, Tuscany, Italy.

 

A beautiful B&B in the countryside of Barberino Val d'Elsa, Borgo Petrognano has been designed so as to give today's travellers the chance to experience the simple pleasures of life in Tuscany.

 

With sunlight bathing silvery olive groves and patchwork vineyards, few places on the globe are as romantic and relaxing as Tuscany.

And this intimate atmosphere is what prevails at Borgo Petrognano, an elegant estate hidden in the heart of Tuscany less than an hour from Florence, Siena and Pisa.

Dominating this luxury retreat is a medieval tower, undoubtedly a reminder of the ancient city of Semifonte destroyed in 1202 A. D. by Florence, its rival.

 

The elegantly restored tower, together with four other refurbished edifices on the estate, is waiting to accommodate guests on a timeless journey into the heart of Tuscan life.

Whether you find yourself sipping tea by the pool or indulging in a glass of Chianti wine at sunset in the tower, the majestic views and magical essence of times gone by is sure to embrace every guest visiting Borgo Petrognano
