From the moment we drove into Borgo Santo Pietro in Tuscany, we knew we were someplace very special.  Although we were there in mid-October, the grounds were still lush and wonderfully manicured with gorgeous foliage everywhere.  I can only image how incredible the property looks now that spring is here!

I was speechless when I entered the main 13^th century villa for the first time. No detail has been overlooked in the magnificent interior—the ambiance is exquisitely old-world, yet friendly and intimate.  Every guest suite has been custom designed and includes the latest modern gadgets like hidden flat-screen TVs and personal iPods. 

Despite the luxurious and romantic ambiance, Borgo Santo Pietro is still amazingly kid-friendly. This is in part due to the fact that the owner has a toddler of her own and wants to host families. Consequently, the property features amenities and services to make families comfortable including a playground and football/soccer field. There is no structured children’s program, but there are endless outdoor sports opportunities including swimming, fishing, hiking, walking, and biking.

The service level is closer to staying at someone’s private villa than a hotel—this is a big part of why the property works for families. Meals can be taken anywhere and quite simply, the staff will do whatever they can to make every member of the family comfortable.  The food is creative and delicious—most of the produce is grown in their enormous, onsite organic garden.
