Borgo Pignano Tuscany

AVOID AT ALL COST!! Definitely not worth the money and time! We have stayed at much better properties and facilities which are way better than this for a lower cost! Property needs a lot of work! Air con not working properly, shower is blocked and hot water not working properly! Food choice is limited, not great compared with other places we stayed during this Tuscany trip. Staff are generally nice which is the only thing I can say.

What can I say other than this is the most remarkable welcome and hospitality from Gigi and the staff who were wonderful to my wife and Issi my 14 year old daughter. Like anywhere if you make the effort and engage the staff it becomes like a family who just take any stress off and are proud to work there which came across so authentically. Gigi took us on a tour of the wonderful site, the gardens where all of the fresh vegetables are grown and the perfumery with local herbs, honey and grape juice amongst others. I won’t mention the pigs ❤️ The new pool and gym facility is epic and for those cyclists out there bring your bike, if allowed . I cycled to voltera and around the challenging but jaw dropping beautiful countryside and got some coffee stops in on the way. The food, all freshly grown and made on site is sublime and you really get a sense of local quality shining through. Finally every time I walked across the courtyard at 530 am for my bike rides a member of staff appeared from nowhere and brought me a fresh coffee and was really pleasant given the time of day ( it was super hot so do go out early if it’s August time). Gigi hugged me when I left and I was actually rather emotional! It was like being at home in Cyprus again just with a Tuscan warmth.

Recently completed a four-day stay at Borgo Pignana and can’t say enough good things about it. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty by the staff, who were helpful and genuinely happy to have us stay at their estate, which is perched on top of a small mountain, so provides panoramic views of the surrounding Tuscany countryside. We arrived at 11:30, and after a delicious lunch of pasta and red wine our room was ready. On the way to the spa for a 3:00 massage, we stopped at the front desk to get a map of the property and met Gigi - who treated us like we were his long lost relatives! Every time we needed something, whether it was a restaurant recommendation (and then a booked reservation) at one of the nearby towns, or a question about the history of the estate, or anything about Tuscany, Gigi seemed to appear out of nowhere and provided assistance - he is our newest best friend and we will come back just to see him! We have traveled the world extensively over the last 20 years and stayed at some of the finest resorts, and Borgo Pignano ranks in the top 10. All the food comes from the grounds of the estate, is made daily and they have an impressive wine cellar. There are miles of forested trails that you can walk, bike or ride on horseback. There is an equestrian center, 3 beautiful infinity pools, bocce, tennis and basketball courts, and a new fitness center. The property is immaculately maintained, the staff is courteous and helpful, and most importantly we left feeling rested and relaxed, on our way to our next adventures in Florence and Sorrento. We plan to come back next fall with our 3 children and their spouses. Arrivederci to one of our new favorite places! Jeff and Janice, August 2024
