Borgo Santo Pietro

This hotel is the most overall beautiful location I've experienced. The buildings, pool, gardens and grounds were spectacular, the design-fantastic. The staff was friendly and went out of the way to be helpful.

From the moment you drive through the wrought iron gates and manicured gardens you know you are staying somewhere special . The12 th century building has been restore decadently with careful attention to detail . The view to the green rolling Tuscan countryside is breathtaking. The service is impeccable and the food is mouthwatering. One of the best places I've ever stayed. I'll definitely be back .

My husband and I have been fortunate to stay in many of the best hotels, both large and small, in the world. Borgo Santo Pietro has now seized the "top spot", surpassing our former favorite on the Amalfi coast. No detail has been missed. The rooms are exquisite, the service impeccable, the grounds beautiful and the food is world class. We enjoyed our five course tasting menu so much one evening that we requested the alternative tasting menu the following evening. While incredibly inventive, the cuisine is not overly fussy. As for the service,the staff, led by the incomparable Claudine and assisted by the wonderful Gian Luca, deserves an entire paragraph for their expert handling of every request, all while creating an atmosphere of comfort and warmth. During our stay, the hotel was sponsoring both an artist in residence who offered classes and also painted various scenes of the grounds, as well as a yoga instructor from New Zealand who offered free classes by the pool. We are currently staying in another five star Relais & Chateaux in Tuscany that is lovely, but which cannot begin to compare to our experience at Borgo Santo Pietro. We are already planning our next trip back in 2015.
