The apartments Borgo Bello are part of a village located in the middle of a 160-hectare (395 acres) farming estate filled with woods, groves, and vineyards. You will be in the countryside between Arezzo and Siena, where the area of the cultivation of the Chianti wine begins.


All the dwellings in the hamlet have been restored in order to become vacation houses. Even the narrow streets have been renovated with care. Every corner will surprise you with terracotta jars with exuberant geranium flowers and perfumed shrubs of rosemary and lavender…


The hamlet is located on a hillside, and from every part of the village, you can enjoy the gorgeous view of the valley below. The crenellated walls and the tower of the nearby residence of the lord of the land add to the charm of the scenery.


The village has a small restaurant (available upon request), a bar, and also a reception desk with staff at your disposal. The hamlet consists of ten apartments and a small hotel with four rooms.


As guests in the village, you can use the big shared swimming pool, go fishing on a small lake nearby, rent mountain bikes, and taste the local wine and products, which are for sale as well.


You can even book some cooking lessons, guided excursions and trekking tours!!


This wonderful village is a convenient place to begin your quest for the beauty of Tuscany.


From here all other places are quite accessible for daily excursions: Siena (40 km - 24.8 miles), Florence (50 km - 31 miles), and Arezzo (30 km - 18.6 miles), three splendid cities boasting artistic treasures and tourist activities. You will be placed near some of the most famous and characteristic villages in Tuscany: Cortona, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, and others.


If you are a wine enthusiast, don't forget to take (and not in a rush) the Via Chiantigiana, a road crossing the whole area which produces the Chianti wine.


You will cross a land rich in hills whose slopes display vineyards and whose tops are embellished by towers of medieval hamlets and bell-towers of age-old churches. There are also wine-cellars and restaurants where you will be able to taste the Tuscan cuisine while drinking a glass of Chianti wine, renown all over the world.


If you enjoy fashion and going shopping, don't forget that Florence is one of the fashion capitals of the world. You can indulge yourself in the many fine shops in the center of Florence. But if you'd rather save than spend, don't let the "outlet-shop" signs found on highway exits pass unnoticed. You are likely to find clothes and objects of the Italian haute couture for very reasonable prices in some of these stores!!
