Villa il Borghetto
A stately home under the protection of the "Soprintendenza ai Beni Artistici e Culturali"
Do you want an ideal location to visit Siena, the 4 Unesco sites in its province and Tuscany?
Our flats are the ideal base! The villa is very close to the accesses to the main state and regional roads.
Do you want to stay in Siena but have your car parked “under the house”?
Thanks to our convenient car park, free for all customers, you will be free to use your car whenever you want.
And just over 500 metres away is a well-stocked shopping area with supermarkets, cafes, shops and bakeries.
Do you want to stay in Siena and be able to reach the historic centre (entirely pedestrian area) of Siena on foot?
The ancient walls of Siena are less than 2 km away and can be reached in 20 minutes.
Do you want to live like a local and enjoy the culture, traditions and food of Siena?
I, Cristina, and my brother Claudio are two native Sienese and therefore know the area as only a local can! We will be able to advise you and organise authentic experiences (and not just tourist itineraries) and if you wish, we will be at your complete disposal at the reception of the Villa to plan your day together.
Would you like to stay in a typical, authentic Tuscan house?
The villa dates back to the 17th century and our father Cesare has restored it preserving all its original charm without neglecting comfort and modern functionality in the flats.
Do you want to open your eyes in the morning and see the real Tuscany?
From every window of every flat you can enjoy a unique view of the rolling Sienese hills. Or enjoy a glass of wine in the Villa's gardens (equipped with tables and chairs) overlooking the hills and vineyards opposite!
Are you travelling by motorbike or bicycle?
We provide you with free garages where you can store your two-wheeler!
Do you prefer to use the bus?
The bus stop is right in front of the gate and the shuttle runs every 15 minutes from morning until 9pm!

Historical Background
“Villa il Borghetto”, or more simply “The Borghetto” as we in the family usually call the Villa, is a palace protected by the Superintendency of Artistic and Cultural Heritage for its prestigious architectural value; in the past it also housed a convent, as evidenced by the charming chapel, still consecrated, located right next to the main door.
Il Borghetto has been linked to the history of our family for several decades, and in particular since 1997, when our father, Cesare, took full possession of it.
At the time, the Borghetto was little more than a ruin, but after a long and painstaking renovation, finally in 2005 the “Borghetto” was resurrected to a new life, becoming a evocative period residence.
Instead of old ruins, bright and charming flats, where there used to be vegetable gardens and weeds there are now gardens.
About Us
Cristina
the younger sister. With a degree in communication, she is the one who “dragged” the whole family into the wonderful world of tourism when she finished her studies! Passion, enthusiasm and empathy are the winning mix that she puts at the service of guests on a daily basis!
Claudio
the older brother. Kind and caring, he takes care of the day-to-day running of the Residence, from reception to administration. He knows Siena and its territory better than his pockets!
Caesar and Marina: our parents
Cesare was born and raised in Borghetto, he strongly wanted the renovation of the Villa and is the architect of everything you see now! He works as a nurseryman and takes care of gardens, so it is only natural that his main job is to maintain the green areas. Marina is a typical Italian mother, for her anyone who enters the Borghetto's door is not just a guest but a member of the family by right. She takes care of the flats as if they were her own home and supervises the cleaning work inside the flats.
