Excellence in wine production, luxury accomodation, art and design…all this is Il Borro, a timeless dimension thats’ roots are buried deep in the medieval period and creates a formula between the most “ avantguard” of tourist hospitality matched with quality wines.
Il Borro wines and unforgettable holidays, for an exacting, sophisticated clientele that loves to satisfy his senses.
Whilst hunting, it is that Ferruccio Ferragamo fell in love with the Il Borro estate in 1985, then belonging to Duke Amedeo D’Aosta.
For some years the Ferragamo family rented the Tuscan holding, until in 1995 they aquired the whole property, with its’ shabby hamlet and main villa, partly destroyed by the second world war bombings.
A thousand year history, which has seen protagonist families, that determined the rise of Tuscany, such as the Pazzis’, the Medici Tornaquinci and Savoia families.
With its’ 700 hectares, the Il Borro estate skirts the old Setteponti road, joining point of the principal Tuscan cities, Florence, Arezzo and Siena sitting in the basin of the Valdarno valley.
A territory rich in art and culture, like the characteristic Buriano bridge, that dates back to ancient Roman times and captured the attention of Leonardo Da Vinci, so much so that he used it as the background of his famous work the “Mona Lisa”.
