The wine cellars were one of our top priorities when we carried out the renovation work at Il Borro. We wanted this incredibly fertile land to produce excellent wine once again and to share its flavours. So, we rekindled the soul of our estate and our old wine cellars, which were extended to cope with the new production. Next we come to the Vino&Arte gallery where the history of wine through the ages is told in the works of the great masters (Goya, Mantegna, Piranesi, Manet and many others) and modern artists (such as Warhol or Picasso), which are included in my father's - Ferruccio Ferragamo - private collection of engravings. The visit to the cellars finishes with a wine tasting session.

Spa La Corte

Il Borro offers its guests accommodation ranging from well-appointed, charming suites to the luxurious and imposing main villa: Dimora Il Borro. For some twenty-five years, it has been lovingly restored by Ferruccio Ferragamo and his family, whose aim is to preserve the medieval character while offering thoroughly modern facilities.

The Il Borro’s approach to sustainability is thoroughly modern too. The estate now generates its own electricity, from a field of photovoltaic solar panels. These can produce about 2 MWh a year—enough to power over 500 households. This is over three times the main hotel’s needs and the estate returns renewably-generated energy back into the grid. Four of the estate’s villas have been converted to low-energy properties, where a combination of insulation, solar panels, and heat pumps (which generate green geothermal energy), have drastically cut both consumption and emissions.Water consumption is carefully managed too: the estate’s lakes are used as reservoirs to store rainfall over the year, which is used for both farming and irrigation.

On this superb 2,700-acre Tuscan estate, time seems to stand still. Owned by Ferruccio Ferragamo, Il Borro is a charming oasis reminiscent of a medieval hamlet comprising a 19th century villa, farm, and outbuildings. Here in this landscape, typical for the region, excellent wines and organic olive oils are produced using traditional methods. Whether exploring the hamlet's winding lanes, relaxing by the infinity pool, enjoying a treatment at the Il Borro spa, or savoring the flavors of the refined cuisine at the Osteria Del Borro, an original and unique experience awaits. Authenticity, respect for the environment, culture, and the promotion of excellence are the foundations of Il Borro's sustainable philosophy.
