A Millennium of Tuscan Splendor & Organic Living
Immersed in the rolling Valdarno hills of Tuscany between Florence, Arezzo, and Siena, Il Borro is a thousand-year-old medieval hamlet and 3,000-acre certified organic agricultural estate meticulously restored by Ferruccio Ferragamo. A prestigious member of Relais & Châteaux, this storybook retreat invites guests to sleep within the ancient stone houses of the village or in luxurious countryside villas, wander historic cobbled alleys lined with artisan craft workshops, tour century-old wine cellars producing organic super Tuscans, gallop through vineyards on horseback, and savor farm-to-table haute gastronomy at Osteria del Borro and Il Borro Tuscan Bistro.
Steeped in a millennium of Tuscan history, Il Borro is an enchanting 3,000-acre certified organic estate, historic vineyard, and restored medieval hamlet owned and cherished by the Ferragamo family. Originally founded in the 11th century and ruled by noble lineages including the Medici and the Hohenlohe-Waldenburgs, the ancient village was brought back to vibrant life beginning in 1993 with passionate architectural preservation, organic farming practices, and supreme artisanal craftsmanship.
Accommodations at Il Borro reflect authentic Tuscan aristocratic hospitality. Guests may reside within the charming stone residences of the medieval village itself, within the refined suites of the Aie del Borro countryside farmhouses, or inside grand standalone private estates like the 19th-century Villa Il Borro. Each room and suite features hand-restored timber ceilings, antique terracotta floors, wrought-iron bedsteads, and bespoke furnishings complemented by modern comforts and views over vineyards and cyprus-lined hillsides.
Gastronomy at Il Borro is an organic farm-to-table celebration led by Executive Chef Andrea Campani. At Osteria del Borro, guests savor contemporary interpretations of historic Tuscan recipes crafted with ingredients grown directly on the estate's organic bio-farm, paired with world-renowned estate-grown organic wines such as the flagship 'Il Borro' IGT Toscana. Informal dining flourishes at Il Borro Tuscan Bistro, while the historic underground cellars, equestrian center, tennis courts, and La Corte Spa offer endless immersion in the Tuscan countryside.
