The Estate

Borgo Pignano is an elegant 750-acre estate set high on a hill between Volterra and San Gimignano, in the heart of Tuscany. At its centre stands an 18th-century villa surrounded by a restored medieval hamlet, first settled in Etruscan times, rolling fields, olive groves, vineyards and woodlands.

The estate has been lovingly restored to preserve its architectural heritage, while embracing the landscape’s natural rhythms. Borgo Pignano is more than a luxury retreat, it is a living, working organic farm that embodies the harmony between Tuscan culture, sustainability and refined hospitality.

“One of the most beautiful places in a magnificent land such as Tuscany.”

Luciano Lusardi

Key features

Borgo Pignano is a hymn to the beauty of Tuscany and its rural past and present, whilst adding a contemporary feel in some element of the interior design and its facilities. The design reflects the Tuscan way of life, yet rural and unique.

Everything from architecture to tailor-made experiences, food and wellness is inspired by Tuscan traditions but with a contemporary twist.

The attentive staff strives to welcome guests with art, music, gastronomy and tradition to tell them about the cultural identity of the region and its people.

Tuscany is an established world’s top destination and Borgo Pignano enjoys good air connections with the rest of Europe. The roads are easy and accessible so travelling throughout the region is easy and the main historic cities and villages are no more than one hour drive away.

Rooms & Suites

The main villa houses a collection of elegant rooms and suites, many of which retain original frescoes, high ceilings and views over the surrounding countryside.

Every detail has been designed to create a sense of timeless comfort and authenticity. A grand stone staircase leads to the upper stories and an elevator serves all floors of the villa.

Restaurants & Bars

At Borgo Pignano Volterra Tuscany, each dining moment reflects the time of day and the rhythm of nature.

Everything begins with the land: ancient grains of wheat and barley for breads and pasta, and a variety of legumes—chickpeas, lentils, spelt—that inspire seasonal creations.

Villa Pignano

Villa Pignano, our Michelin-starred restaurant, offers a refined, contemporary cuisine guided by Chef Angelantonio Cioffi—whose Michelin Green Star award recognizes his deep respect for nature and a thoughtful, sustainable approach to the land.

Al Fresco Restaurant

Simple, seasonal dishes and local ingredients come together in the ease of open-air dining. Fresh produce from the estate, traditional recipes, and a relaxed atmosphere create a dining experience naturally tied to the land. Easy, authentic, and in harmony with its surroundings.

The spa features private treatment rooms, steam and sauna suites, cryotherapy experiences, and serene outdoor areas for quiet reflection.
