The property, staff, experiences were all amazing! Every detail is thought through. If there was a small detail that was out of order, it was the loud noise of their cars dropping off guests late at night (past 10).

A lovely stay made extra special by the efforts of Ksenia on the front desk who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thank you very much, James & Anastasia. P.s. If you like horses, this is the place for you - they have so many and we spent hours walking around the extensive equestrian facilities that are on-site.

We are at Il Borro right now. The construction is super flimsy. We can easily hear footsteps, peeing, and flushing from the room above us. The footsteps sound like thumping. Very loud and highly unsatisfactory, all because this place is cheaply constructed and poorly insulated.

The Il Boro is a very beautiful hotel. The service provided by all of the employees of the hotel is exemplary. The dining experiences were extremely memorable with delicious food, wine and very attentive service. The hotel grounds and the extensive amenities provided made it a very special family vacation. The winery tour, pools, horse back riding, three hole golf course and spa services all offer ample activities for a family vacation. The hotel rooms in the medieval village were spacious and well appointed. The landscaping of the grounds surrounding the village, pools and dining rooms were naturalized with beautiful plantings native to the region. If you are considering a very special vacation for families and couples Il Boro would be an excellent choice.

Where to start…this place is beautiful and amazing. If you want to be in a quiet, secluded medieval village in Tuscany, this is the place. It is very old. But the place is so updated and kept in the period. Upon checkin, we were given a map of the resort. It looked overwhelming at first, but a quick tour of it fixed that. The service you will receive is the best. Be prepared for lots of steep hills and steps. If this is a problem, a golf cart or car will pick you up and take you where you need to be. Our room, which was Marta Terrazzo, room 108, was OUTSTANDING! It shares an entry way with one other unit. First room you enter is the living room with a log burning fireplace, chairs, table and a wonderful coffee machine. A nice window there too. Next is the bedroom with a king bed with the softest pillows. In this room there is a tv, a window and a door to your own patio! Private! Heading toward the bathroom you will have a walk in dressing closet and safe. Lots of places for clothes. Then the bathroom which was really pretty. It was the largest shower ever and it provided a great rainfall. There is a window there too. All of the windows and the patio door have not shutters but inside are swinging panels to block out the light. I’ve never seen anything like it. The property is lovely; there are horses with their babes in a few pastures. Breakfast is ordered from a set menu or the buffet. So many cheeses, meats, breads, and many other things to eat. Coffee is always really yummy. Dinner was great as well. Ate outside one night. Two nights inside. Pretty pools, not heated though. The wine cellar is unbelievable. Their own wines are made there and the tour was outstanding. Some Bottles start at $30 euros and we’re great. We drank so much wine. 🍷. Our guide was Sophia. She was awesome and so knowledgeable. The cooking class was fun, but the price was way too high for what we did and got. You make your meal with a group if you chose that route, and then later in he evening you eat what you made in the main dining room. Our dinner was potato gnocchi with a cheese sauce, meatballs in a prepared red sauce, and biscotti. It was really tasty! One night we left the property and had a dinner down the road to the left. That was great as well, a family owned place. Osteria dell’Oca Satolla, it is the only place near the resort. If you want to get around you need a car. We visited Arezzo, which was a quite nice little city maybe 45 minutes away, and Loro Ciuffenna is 15 minutes away and a cool little local town. Very hilly everywhere we went. We are glad that we stayed here. I have to say at first we thought, oh no what are going to do here? It was absolutely wonderful.

An over priced gimmick. The place barely has any staff. Breakfast experience is a nightmare. Good luck getting a place to sit and good luck getting any service. Took 45 minutes and chasing services to finally get a coffee that was cold. Nice concept - but not the service is non existent!!!
