Biodynamic Tuscan estate
The 300-acre estate operates as an organic farming retreat, balancing regenerative cultivation with aristocratic ease across the Serena Valley.
“A Relais & Châteaux property, this 13th-century villa set amid gardens and a working farm pretty much typifies the tranquil Tuscan way of life.”

Also in The 50 Discovery and AFAR.
The antiques are authentic, painstakingly gathered from all over Italy, as are many of the building materials.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Borrow an estate bike to reach the roofless Gothic ruins and sword-in-the-stone hermitage at San Galgano Abbey.
The rooms
Italian antiques and open fireplaces fill the rooms. Select suites open onto private walled gardens with plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated freshwater infinity pool weaves around natural boulders, looking out across the rolling Serena Valley.
The spa
Treatment cabanas open onto herbal gardens, using botanical formulas developed on-site from the estate's own harvest.
The salon and fitness trail
An outdoor fitness trail is set among the woodland trees, and vaulted stone salons offer fireside seating.
Restaurant
Saporium Chiusdino
Michelin-starred tasting menus draw directly from the biodynamic gardens and farm, backed by an antique brick cellar.
Pitched amid 200-acre grounds – flowing between wild nature, exquisite formal gardens and a generous orto – the once-derelict site...have been lovingly restored to dazzling effect.
Restaurant
Trattoria Sull'Albero
Dining tables sit beneath the spreading branches of a living oak tree, serving wood-fired pizza and fresh estate pasta.
How it began
Built in the 13th century to shelter medieval pilgrims traveling to Rome, the derelict stone house underwent an eight-year restoration.
“Spread over 300 acres in the Tuscan countryside, about a 45-minute drive from Siena, Borgo Santo Pietro is the platonic ideal of an Tuscan estate.”
