Our 5 star luxury hotel
Situated in the heart of Tuscany, Relais Borgo Santo Pietro was once a healing stopover for medieval pilgrims. Today it continues to provide a sanctuary for modern souls, merging a 5 star luxury hotel and spa concept with a 'farm to plate' philosophy on a 230-acre estate.
A sumptuous feeling of home pervades the 800-year-old luxury farmhouse hotel, with its worn leather armchairs pulled up around open fires, fresh flower arrangements picked straight from the garden, and weathered brick wine cellar lined with boutique labels. Each of the boutique hotel's 20 rooms has been singularly designed down to the utmost thoughtful detail, with custom-sought antique pieces, bespoke beds and frescoes executed by hand.
Our rooms combine this intimate luxury with ultimate seclusion, as light-filled, airy interiors open onto Mediterranean courtyards dotted with sun lounges and fragrant citrus trees, or leafy private terraces with outdoor fireplaces beside private pools, lounge areas and entirely private gardens. Adjoining suites can also be connected internally to create an intimate shared interior for families or friends.
The estate
A philosophy of nurture via nature and a spirit of collaboration are tangibly felt at Borgo Santo Pietro, where a teamwork of farmers, culinary gardeners and chefs work together to bring the fruits of organic cultivation to the table.
Borgo's 230-acre organically cultivated estate includes market gardens, nut fields, herb gardens, extensive vineyards and forests, some of which house the estate's drove of pigs. Each day the farmers collect milk from Borgo's sheep which is then transformed into artisan cheese and yogurt at the on-site dairy. The farm includes free-range chickens, honey bees, alpacas and extensive vineyards and supplies both the inspiration and ingredients for its two Michelin-starred restaurants, Meo Modo and La Bottega del Buon Caffè, as well as Trattoria Sull’Albero. The freshwater River Merse, famous throughout the region, runs through the outskirts of the estate.
Meo Modo Restaurant
Our Michelin-starred restaurant Meo Modo is housed in the luxury Tuscan relais Borgo Santo Pietro. It offers an innovative farm-to-plate dining experience that allows guests to enjoy the freshest ingredients harvested from the onsite kitchen gardens.
With an approach firmly rooted in native Tuscany, our restaurant continues to experiment and play with new ideas to transform locally-grown vegetables, artisan cheeses, sustainably-raised meats and freshly-caught fish into simple yet groundbreaking dishes.
Meo Modo hosts a wine cellar that showcases nearly 1500 boutique and prestigious labels from both Tuscan and Italian producers, whose passion for wine and time-honoured techniques faithfully reflect the terroir in which each wine is produced.
La Trattoria sull'Albero
Designed around a large spreading oak tree with rustic interiors that evoke an elegant expansive tree house, our Trattoria Sull'Albero (meaning treehouse) offers a laid-back lounge and dining ambience overlooking the fields and forests of the Valle Serena. Inside, the light-filled interior evokes the feeling of dining in an immense treehouse, with table settings beneath the oak boughs, exquisite wood detailing and trailing plants overhead. Exposed beams, studded leather armchairs and a rough-hewn wooden bar create an elegantly rustic and laid-back atmosphere, ideal for enjoying a traditional Tuscan meal by the fire or a glass of wine on the terrace.
The classic Tuscan menu of our 'farm to plate' fare showcases our organically cultivated ingredients sourced from our farm: freshly picked vegetables, artisanal cheeses, free-range eggs, in-house prosciutto ham and zero-kilometer sourced meat. Every Monday evening, Sull’Albero plays host to our gourmet Farmers' Market, where guests are invited to take their pick from a range of fresh meat, fish, cheese and seasonal produce on offer, watch it being cooked on the spot, and dine outdoors in a convivial atmosphere of live music.
La Bottega del Buon Caffe
Situated under the imposing medieval tower of San Niccolò in Florence, La Bottega del Buon Caffe is an outstanding Michelin-star jewel of the city.
What sets La Bottega apart from the others is the fresh ingredients that are sourced daily from its own organic farm at Borgo Santo Pietro where seasonal produce is taken from our rich vegetable and herb gardens, generous orchards and golden honey combs, and from sustainably-raised meats and freshly-caught fish.
La Bottega's outstanding collection of more than 1100 wine labels has been selectively chosen. To complete the five-star experience of the stylishly classic restaurant, next door at Il Lounge offers one of the most sophisticated wine bars in which to have a drink or a light meal and L’Enoteca has a hand-picked selection of boutique and select labels from which to purchase.
The Borgo Cooking School
The Borgo Cooking School is more than merely a kitchen. It is a purpose-built center located inside the luxury 5-star hotel Borgo Santo Pietro estate, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. The school offers an extensive menu of hands-on courses, classes, cooking workshops and specifically tailored tutorials for the food aficionado of any level. The cooking options are endless.
Most importantly, we aim to animate your imagination and enthusiasm for experimenting in the kitchen with our team of skilled chefs and local cooks. Surrounded by organic farmland, vegetable gardens, olive groves and vineyards, students are spoiled for choice and are encouraged to forage on the estate to create an entire meal, before sitting down to dine. Our philosophy at the Borgo Cooking School is simple - we want to share a love of good food – Tuscan style.

The elegant hand-carved wooden schooner is meticulously custom designed by the team behind the award-winning Borgo Santo Pietro Group.
