Borgo Santo Pietro is a five-star luxury hotel in the heart of the stunning rural landscapes of Tuscany , amid rolling hills and farmland . A Relais & Chateaux property , it is a grand house and garden about 20 miles from Siena , marooned in a luscious countryside setting which is surrounded on all sides by nature reserves . This is a nature lovers ’ paradise for ultimate countryside relaxation where you can take in the numerous delights of the glorious gardens , from the medicinal herb garden to the rose and fountain garden , apple orchard and cherry orchard . Not surprisingly , there is also a kitchen garden , from which the restaurant draws only the freshest produce , such as vegetables and herbs on a daily basis . The dishes created using these ingredients are served either in an elegant dining room or on the intimate openair veranda where views span across the manicured hotel lawns . Providing the utmost quality of service , the restaurant at Borgo Santo Pietro happily caters to specific dietary requirements , while food lovers benefit from the option to partake in cookery lessons and wine tasting on site . Also making the most of magnificent views is a curved infinity-edge swimming pool , around which rose buds blossom along shady trellises . This is the site for achieving true relaxation , though the indulgent spa also offers a wonderful service of treatments . Amid
the pristine gardens dotted with cypresses , the hotel building itself is built from rough-hewn stone and evokes the true essence of the rural Tuscan lifestyle . Reminiscent of a country manor house , the interiors have been exquisitely renovated to complement the evident history of the building . Decorated with gilded picture frames , chandeliers , wall murals , heavy drapery and four poster beds , the style is grand and opulent . What makes the Borgo Santo Pietro so different though is the range of activities available on-site from sports such as badminton and table tennis , to wine appreciation , cookery lessons , floristry and insight is provided into the craft of all sorts of local artisans through regular workshops .
