Immersed in the peace and quiet of nature, Borgo Vallombrosa in Tuscany is a perfect mix of tradition and modernity. The Borgo took over two years to restore and first opened its doors in 2019, thanks to the hard work of many local artisans and craftsmen.
The sleek, contemporary design of the Borgo merges flawlessly with its exposed wood-beams, its arched ceilings and its stunning brickwork. The décor, composed of a variety of custom designed and traditional objects handpicked all over Europe, gives the property a sense of casual elegance and refined mystery.
Borgo Vallombrosa’s philosophy comes to life within its rooms. A seamless combination of simplicity, elegance and modernity where you can feel right at home and experience the profound energy of the monastery. The fourteen rooms and suites are individually designed and enriched with unique pieces of décor.
