Borgo Scopeto Relais

Out on a Tuscan ridge in Castelnuovo Berardenga, this 4-star estate looks across rolling hills to Siena — the Mangia Tower and cathedral peek on the skyline. Minutes from Siena and close to the Chianti Sculpture Park and local vineyards.

A beautifully restored five-century Sozzini estate that blends historic charm with an international touch. Fifty-eight individually decorated guestrooms include refrigerators, LCD TVs, private bathrooms (bathtubs or showers) with bidets, safes and complimentary toiletries, many opening onto garden or countryside views.

Full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials; two outdoor swimming pools, outdoor tennis courts and a health club. Concierge and wedding services, complimentary wireless internet and a daily guest reception round out the facilities — wake up to hilltop views of Siena.

Two meeting rooms and a computer station support small events and conferences. Complimentary wireless internet, a 24-hour front desk, dry cleaning/laundry services and free self-parking keep business trips smooth.

On-site restaurant with garden views and alfresco dining (when weather allows), plus a bar/lounge for cocktails and mingling. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily; limited room service is available and a daily complimentary reception welcomes guests.
