Borgo Argiano

In the rolling hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga, set on a peaceful river. This country house/vacation home is about a 10-minute drive from Chianti Sculpture Park and La Fornace Art Gallery, and roughly 15–16 km from Piazza del Campo and Siena Cathedral. A quiet, family-friendly Tuscany base for exploring the region.

Twelve guestrooms feel like a relaxed Tuscan hideaway with kitchens (refrigerator and oven), private balconies or patios, down comforters and premium bedding, and smart TVs with satellite. Rooms are air-conditioned with limited housekeeping. The property keeps a neighbours-free vibe and offers a library, picnic and barbecue areas for low-key afternoons.

Standout features include an attached winery, a seasonal outdoor pool, bicycles to rent, an arcade/game room and playrooms for children. Onsite concierge, laundry and a safe-deposit box add convenience. Free self-parking and complimentary wireless internet keep things easy. Wake up to river-breeze mornings and wander straight into the vines.

Business center, express check-out and luggage storage are available, along with complimentary wireless internet access and free self-parking.

An attached winery lets you taste Tuscan wines without leaving the grounds. Picnic and barbecue facilities are on hand, and the tour desk can arrange vineyard visits and local food experiences to sample regional flavors.
