Accommodations

Historic character meets a quieter, contemporary sensibility.

With just thirty-two rooms and suites, Borgo Pignano Florence keeps things intimate. Restored spaces across the estate pair original character and artwork with contemporary comforts, while views open toward the gardens and Florentine hills. Four Garden Suites are spread among the estate’s buildings, each with private outdoor space that makes it easy to linger a little longer.
Pool + Gym

Tuscan sunshine sets the pace.

The heated outdoor pool is surrounded by greenery and a sun-soaked deck, creating an easy place to spend an afternoon after exploring Florence. Guests can settle in beside the water or wander over to Oscar’s Pool Bar for a chilled drink and light bite. The gym is equipped with Technogym equipment for guests who want to keep up their routine while away. The estate grounds offer an appealing alternative, whether that means yoga outdoors, a walk through the gardens, or simply getting moving against the backdrop of Florence’s northern hills.
Spa

Aromàtica Spa offers a restorative pause inside the main villa.

Set within the main villa, Aromàtica Spa features two treatment rooms alongside a sauna, a Turkish bath, a sensory shower, and an ice fountain. It's a natural stop after a full day in Florence or an easy reason to dedicate part of the itinerary to staying put.
Restaurant + Bar

Local ingredients shape every menu.

Chef Stefano Cavallini draws on produce from the organic farm at Borgo Pignano’s sister property, connecting the menus to Tuscany’s land and seasons. At Essenza, the rotisserie takes center stage, slowly cooking meats, poultry, and vegetables before select dishes are carved tableside. Seasonal Cedrus looks toward the Mediterranean, with fresh seafood, pasta, risotto, soups, vegetables, and seafood platters designed for sharing.

Max’s Bar brings contemporary mixology into the setting of a Tuscan villa, pairing spirits and local botanicals in signature cocktails. Six seats at the bar give guests a front-row view of the bartenders at work, whether stopping in for a midday spritz or ending the evening with a nightcap. Outside, Oscar’s Pool Bar keeps things relaxed with cocktails, salads, sandwiches, and light bites framed by olive groves on the Montughi hillside.
  • Vibe
    Historic, garden-filled, and quietly contemporary, Borgo Pignano Florence feels more like a private retreat than a traditional city hotel. The mood is polished without being overly formal, with enough space to slow down between days spent exploring Florence.
  • Who's it for?
    Borgo Pignano Florence works especially well for couples, families, and small groups who want easy access to the city without staying in the middle of its bustle. It is also a natural fit for romantic getaways and intimate celebrations, particularly for guests who value gardens, dining, and downtime as much as sightseeing.
  • Location
    Borgo Pignano Florence sits on Montughi Hill at the northern edge of the city, giving guests access to Florence while providing breathing room away from its busiest streets. The garden-filled setting makes the property particularly appealing to travelers who want to pair days of museums, restaurants, and sightseeing with quieter mornings and afternoons back at the hotel.
