About the private Villa

+ Villa Borgo Belsedere Villa Borgo Belvedere, Toscana 

Within a 300-hectare organic estate encompassing vineyards, olive groves, and truffle fields, the property spans over two hectares and offers panoramic views of the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside. Steeped in thousands of years of history, Borgo Belsedere provides a glimpse into the region's rich cultural heritage and captivates with its unspoiled and authentic beauty. At the heart of the estate lies our medieval villa, surrounded by a picturesque outdoor area. The historic park connects the inner courtyard, which includes the chapel and greenhouse, to the spacious pool area.

Medieval Living
The estate has a rich and long history stretching back a thousand years. Throughout the many centuries of cultivation on the estate, dating back to the Romans and Etruscans, the fertile lands have yielded a blend of ancient grains, wine, and olives. At its height, Belsedere was once home to a thriving community of over 200 people, each contributing to the vibrant tapestry of life that unfolded within its borders. It is a place where history whispers tales of ancient civilizations, the rolling hills representing a unique intertwining of present-day life and practices that date back to medieval times.

Belsedere, Nestled in the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, this estate offers panoramic views of vineyards, olive groves, and fields of grain. Less than an hour's drive from Siena, the property is centrally located near Pienza, Montepulciano, and Montalcino, with views of Monte Amiata, Val d'Orcia, and the Crete Sinese. Perugia Airport is an hour's drive away, and Florence Airport is an hour and a half away. Pisa and Rome Airports are both a two-hour drive away.

Sustainability as a priority: In addition to 300 hectares/500 acres of cereal fields, our main agricultural product is wine. The vineyard is located in the stunning Val d'Orcia area, comprising 15 hectares/40 acres overlooking Montalcino and Siena. Nestled between the renowned wine regions of Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Mobile di Montepulciano, the wine produced here is of such superior quality that it is classified under the Denomination of Controlled Origin (DOC), which takes into account not only the quality of the wine, but also the production methods and origins.
