Description
Borgo Finocchieto villas provide a stunning destination, nestled on a rural hillside south of Siena. It was originally an 800-year-old farming village located directly on the historic Via Francigena, the medieval pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome. Borgo Finocchieto has been lovingly restored. Wherever possible, the original structures have been left untouched. One can still see the historic wood-burning oven that is more than 500 years old, and the soft grooves in the brick staircase made by thousands of passing feet. An ancient stone-carved Borghese crest greets visitors outside the dining room, gracing the entryway as it has done for centuries, indicating past ownership by the powerful Sienese family.
One of the most impressive Tuscan villas, it includes 9 suites in the manor house and four separate villas, arranged around a central piazza, forming its own community. Gathering spaces include a formal dining room and outdoor dining terrace, living room with grand piano and study, screening room, library, bar, conference facility for up to 50, a cantina and wine-tasting room, a professional teaching kitchen, an interior arcaded courtyard, a piazza, and an extensive lawn and gardens with various shaded benches and a gazebo.
Those looking to rent Italian villas will be impressed by Borgo Finocchieto's recreational facilities. They include a 60-foot oval swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, spa, tennis and basketball court, and bocce court. Individual suites are ample, luxurious, and private, while the public spaces encourage people to draw together for social functions. The cuisine and service available at Borgo Finocchieto are of the highest standard, upholding the Tuscan traditions of outstanding wine, delicious food and warm hospitality. Not only is Borgo Finocchieto a fantastic vacation destination, it is within driving distance of both Florence and Rome.
