Borgo Pignano - Villa La Lavandaia

Beyond a grove of cypress trees and the rhythmic sweep of golden fields, Villa La Lavandaia rests quietly within the breathtaking landscape of Borgo Pignano’s 750-acre organic estate. This two-bedroom villa is a serene and characterful hideaway, where terracotta floors, vaulted ceilings and soft sage tones reflect the natural beauty of Tuscany just beyond the window.

Step through arched doorways into the cosy living room, where a crackling fireplace and richly woven rug invite relaxed evenings with a glass of local red. The country-style kitchen, with marble worktops and timber beams, sets the scene for long breakfasts and sun-drenched lunches. Both bedrooms can be configured as twin or king, each with a private bathroom, creating a flexible yet refined space for couples or small families.

Outside, a shaded dining terrace opens to uninterrupted views of the rolling countryside, where every meal feels like a scene from a Tuscan postcard. Just below, the villa’s private heated pool glimmers invitingly, edged by stone walls and wild borders.

Fresh fruit, handpicked flowers and a bottle of estate wine await your arrival, setting a warm and thoughtful tone. With daily housekeeping, evening turndown service and the option of breakfast either at the main villa or delivered to your terrace, the experience is effortless from start to finish. A golf buggy is included for discovering every corner of the estate, while the concierge is on hand to assist with anything from spa bookings to seasonal excursions.

Borgo Pignano itself is a rare find, a beautifully restored rural hamlet where history and craftsmanship are woven into every detail. Guests can enjoy access to a host of facilities, including a panoramic infinity pool, tennis courts, horse-riding trails and a serene limestone spa. Children can enjoy the family pool and summer Kid’s Club, while the estate’s workshops, art gallery and produce garden invite guests of all ages to engage with the land and its traditions.

With the storied towns of Volterra and San Gimignano just a short drive away, and the cultural wonders of Florence, Siena and Chianti within easy reach, Villa La Lavandaia promises an enriching and restorative stay, wrapped in the quiet rhythm of Tuscan country life.
