Luxury Villas and Hotels in Tuscany : Villa La Borghetta Resort
Opulence and elegance in one of the most striking corners of the world. Villa La Borghetta is more than just a four-star estate in the Tuscan countryside, it's an escape. Your very own hidden heaven and a chance to feel like royalty. Stretching out across the untouched hills of the Chianti Valley, between Arezzo, Siena and Florence, Villa La Borghetta isn't simply a place for you to stay while on holiday. It is part of the vacation, allowing you to pleasure yourself to all life's luxuries; good food, wine and company, while soaking up everything remarkable Italy has to offer.
Villa La Borghetta isn't a name thought up by the resort's owners to make it sound more lavish. This incredible hotel began life as a watch tower in the 14th century, before becoming a fortified farm known in the surrounding towns as 'El Borghetto del Zocco'. The farm was then bought by the powerful noble Piccolomini family who transformed the humble buildings into a magnificent resort , painting their coat of arms on the manor house you still see today.
Much of the rich tradition that the Piccolomini family carved into Villa La Borghetta remains in the resort today. It shines through the manor houses; it reflects off the flowers in the bright garden and creeps into the olive groves and vineyards that border the estate. Extraordinarily unique and grandiose , this incredible history is only matched by the landscape that Tuscany itself has to offer, landscapes that draws visitors from hundreds of miles.
The rooms keep with the old gentlemanly style that is spread throughout the villa. Feel like Marie Antoinette or King Henry as you relax on the velvet chase lounge or chill-out in the gold-lined bathtub. From its four-poster bed with silk sheets to its terracotta bathroom and thick, draping blinds, each room drips with opulence and elegance. And with internet, pay-tv, air-conditioning and heating you won't be cut of from the comforts of the modern world either.
Inside the hotel, the majesty continues. The hotel rooms are, one-by-one, tiny paradises of silk sheets and luxurious fabrics. Beautifully designed and fitted with every comfort, from internet to pay-tv and air-conditioner to heating, the rooms are another reason why Villa La Borghetta is simply too good to be true. Enjoy a warm bath in the decadent tub or unwind on the four-poster wood bed and soak in the pleasures of being on vacation.
If the endless beauty of Tuscany and the grand charm of the villa itself isn't enough, Villa La Borghetta also treats you to the ultimate self-pampering delight, a spa. Located within the resort estate, the Villa La Borghetta Spa is guilt-free treat a few metres from your room. From a relaxing massage, to toning facial mask or chill-out session in the sauna, skilled staff and a superbly designed inside will make your day at the spa one to remember.
