Il Borgo di Petroio is a beautiful stone farmhouse with private swimming pool, set on an important 900-acre estate in the hills above Rufina, within easy reach of Florence. The large farmhouse has just been lovingly restored by the owners, using their experience as caterers and event designers for the wealthy spanning two generations added to our 25 years of experience in renting luxury villas in Tuscany. The final result is nothing short of sublime; large rooms with high whitewash beamed ceilings, air-conditioned bedrooms and contemporary en suite bathrooms are but some of the elements that make this a superb place to relax in complete style and comfort.

A professional kitchen, a spacious dining room, two fireplaces with plenty of comfortable seating areas are the focal points of Il Borgo; the main house also has an attached guest house that leads into a charming courtyard with a second kitchen that has a bread oven and a large fireplace, alongside two double bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom. The rooms have been furnished very tastefully with collections of paintings, traditional black and white photos, drawings and a wide selection of English books. Light pours from the wide gardens through the doors and windows into the pastel-colored rooms creating a soft, peaceful atmosphere.

The large private swimming pool is set in the ideal location, enjoying sweeping views of the surrounding hills and bathes in the sun all day. Like the house the garden and the pool area are furnished with high-quality garden furniture and by the pool, there is an open shower and a changing room with WC. There is an astroturf tennis court on the estate which is shared with the estate’s Villa that is also available to be rented separately or as a whole with the Estate of Petroio option we offer. Newly added is a multi-functional space that features a well-equipped gym area, video projector space with sound system, massage area and an external Jacuzzi for 6 people from where to savor the beautiful views.

The owners are a prominent local family with roots in the US and Tuscany, that are able to cater for any of our clients' needs, however complicated they might be. Guests will be able to liaise directly with the management prior to arrival in order to tailor any service to their requirements, and full assistance during the stay as well to ensure absolutely nothing is amiss, allowing for more peace of mind and time to revel in this stunning setting.
