About this property
Beyond the vine-striped slopes and cypress-sentinelled paths of the Tuscan countryside, Villa Il Vignino sits quietly beside Borgo Pignano’s organic vineyard, just moments from the heart of this exquisite 750-acre estate. A recent addition to the estate’s collection of refined private residences, the villa offers an intimate yet elevated escape, where guests can experience the slower pace of country life with access to exceptional estate services including a spa, tennis court and Michelin-starred dining.
From the villa’s shaded terrace, views stretch across gently undulating hills and herb-filled gardens, a soothing backdrop for slow breakfasts or alfresco dinners as the sun dips behind the vines. Inside, the atmosphere is airy and serene. The open-plan living and dining space is filled with soft light, and the traditional kitchen is well equipped for preparing Tuscan favourites or hosting a private chef.
Two spacious double bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other convertible to twins, each offer an en suite bathroom and charming views. Just beyond the terrace, a private heated pool glimmers invitingly, perfect for long summer days surrounded by rosemary, lavender and olive trees.
Fresh fruit, flowers and a bottle of estate wine greet you on arrival, while daily housekeeping, evening turndown and optional villa breakfasts bring hotel-style touches to your stay. A golf buggy makes it easy to explore the estate, and the dedicated concierge team is always on hand to arrange everything from wellness treatments to wine tastings and art workshops.
Villa Il Vignino is one of several private villas at Borgo Pignano, a beautifully restored historic estate with roots dating back to Etruscan times. Guests enjoy access to an impressive range of facilities, including a panoramic infinity pool, family pool, spa, gym and seasonal Kid’s Club. The estate’s restaurants celebrate farm-to-table flavours, while its gardens, art gallery and stables invite a deeper connection to the land.
Just a short drive from the medieval towns of Volterra and San Gimignano, and within easy reach of Florence, Siena and the vineyards of Chianti, Villa Il Vignino offers a peaceful yet well-connected retreat, where nature, heritage and thoughtful hospitality live in harmony.
Set beside the entrance to Borgo Pignano’s organic vineyard, Villa Il Vignino enjoys a quiet, scenic position within the heart of Tuscany’s celebrated countryside. Nestled within a 750-acre private estate, this elegant villa is framed by olive trees, cypress-lined trails and gently sloping farmland, just a short distance from the medieval towns of Volterra and San Gimignano.
Guests can explore the estate with ease using their own golf buggy, enjoying access to its impressive array of amenities including a serene spa, fully equipped gym, tennis, basketball and football courts, and a choice of swimming pools. The main hamlet of Borgo Pignano lies just a few minutes away, where you’ll find a curated produce shop, art gallery, and a selection of restaurants including Michelin-starred dining led by Chef Stefano Cavallini.
There’s also a horse-riding centre, cycling and walking trails through the woodland, and opportunities for wildlife spotting—from hares and pheasants to owls and wild boar. The estate’s shop stocks organic honey, herbal teas, pasta, preserves, olive oil and estate wines, along with handmade soaps, essential oils and Pignano lavender.
Just 15km away, Volterra reveals its Etruscan roots through ancient ramparts, Roman ruins and artisanal alabaster studios. Further afield, San Gimignano (19km) enchants with its skyline of medieval towers, winding stone lanes and famed gelato shops, set against a backdrop of vineyards and open hills.
The world-renowned Chianti region is easily explored from here. Villages such as Castellina in Chianti (37km) offer atmospheric cellars, terracotta-roofed piazzas and tastings of some of Italy’s finest wines. For a day steeped in Tuscan culture, Siena (46km) draws visitors with its majestic Gothic cathedral and the fan-shaped Piazza del Campo, while Florence (67km) offers Renaissance masterpieces, designer boutiques and riverside dining along the Arno.
From vineyard strolls to art-filled city days, Villa Il Vignino opens the door to some of Tuscany’s most captivating experiences, all set within the natural splendour and warm hospitality of the Borgo Pignano estate.
