Perched on the top of a hill amongst ancient olive groves, the Borgo lies between the beautiful cities of Pisa, Florence and Siena, on a site of 23 acres. The original medieval castle was developed over the years to become an aristocratic villa and estate. During the 17th and 18th centuries much renovation work was carried out to the frescoes and delicate mouldings so that the Borgo eventually became an elegant country retreat. Today the estate encompasses the main villa and the surrounding farm buildings, including a hayloft, a workshop and an administrative building. Shops, post-office, restaurants and other amenities are available in the medieval town of Palaia, a short drive or pleasant twenty-minute walk from the Borgo, and there is an excellent pizzeria immediately outside the gates of the resort.

Palaia is an historic town steeped in tradition and where you can still visit the old olive press, the antique wine cellars and the rooms where the olive oil was stored in large terracotta vases. Mainly an agricultural area, Palaia has a colorful history which can be seen at the interactive museum in the town. In the countryside around Palaia some of the best produce of Tuscany is grown with excellent wines, olive oil and white truffle. The restaurants offer traditional Tuscan cuisine and the markets offer a true feel of the Tuscan heritage.
