Residential complex "BORGO LE VIGNE"

BORGO LE VIGNE - Beautiful property located on a hilltop that offers 360 degrees views over the surrounding vineyards and the countryside. The Borgo’s access dirt road is about 600 meters long and in fairly good condition. Vinci, Maestro Leonardo da Vinci’s birthplace is at about 3 kms with all shops, facilities and restaurants. The Leonardo Museum and the house where he was born are certainly worth a visit.

Empoli is at 12 kms with Railway Station that allows easy access to Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Siena without having to use a car. Lucca and Firenze are at 47 kms, while Pisa and the Galileo Galilei Airport and theTyrrhenian Sea's sandy beaches are at 60 kms. Siena is at 100 kms. Vinci also has a new Golf Course (about 1 km from the Borgo) that was inaugurated on April 2009 and it is considered one of the best with 9 holes in Tuscany.

The origins of Borgo Le Vigne go back to Romanesque times and the structures were first built around the Church, which is still standing, that dates back to the year 1000. The Borgo consists of three independent buildings set as a horse shoe around a central large lawn. Two of the structures are divided into apartments and rooms, while the third hosts the cellar and it is mostly used for the wine estate’s activities.

The estate expands over 80 hectares, 45 of which are vineyards that cover the hills around the Borgo, while the rest of the estate is occupied by olive groves. Guests can purchase an excellent selection of wines and olive oil from the owner, who is a charming and friendly person, a wine connoisseur and a passionate jazz fan who is available to assist guests with suggestions about what to visit, and good tips on local Restaurants. The owner lives on the premises and speaks French and English.

The two buildings, Casa Belvedere and Casa Clarinetto, where the apartments are located, are surrounded by ample garden spaces. There is a barbecue on the central lawn for Casa Clarinetto and another one in the back of Casa Belvedere for shared use of the apartments.

The grounds also offer both private and shared furnished garden areas, a swimming pool (7 x 14 meters - depth from 1,10 to 1,40 meters), located on a plateau below Belvedere, with fantastic views all around. The grounds are well equipped with garden furniture, and a hot tub with hydro massage for guest use. Pool towels will be provided at Euro 9 per person per week (bathroom towels cannot be used around the pool).

On the ground floor of Casa Clarinetto is a laundry room with washing machine, sink, iron and ironing board and a hanging rack that can be placed outside – it is for shared use of all the apartments.

The restoration of the two structures was completed in 2009, preserving the original characteristics of the farm buildings. The apartments are provided with all modern and technological amenities. Each apartment and room offers: independent air conditioning systems that provide both warm and cold air, included in the rental price, analogical and digital widescreen TVs, WIFI, dishwasher, free standing fridge with freezer section. There are some baby cots and private parking is on the Borgo’s grounds.

Casa Belvedere’s apartments have mosquito screens on the windows and apartment Sangiovese has them on the entrance door as well. None of the double beds can be separated and turned into twins. It is comfortably furnished with a combination of rustic furniture and pieces from the 1900’s.

The kitchens have Carrara marble sinks and kitchen tops with 4 fitted gas hobs and microwave ovens. The floors are in cotto and most of the ceilings also have wooden beams and cotto tiles. The building is surrounded by paved terraces with private furnished areas for each apartment.

The structure is divided into 5 apartments, 2 of which on the ground floor and 3 on the first floor – at one end of the building is the owner’s apartment.

Casa Clarinetto has a more modern characterization based on an idea of a well known and polyedric Italian jazz composer and singer: Renzo Arbore. This building is divided into 4 apartments, 3 of which on the ground floor (Pinot, Malvasia, Canaiolo), and the fourth (offered in two versions: Trebbiano or Vernaccia) on the 1st floor.

On the 1st floor are also 4 large double rooms (suites) named after the dominant colour of the room (Blue, Orange, Violet, Green), that can be booked together with any of the apartments in case of larger parties (ask your agency for prices).

The suites are all spacious and comfortably furnished with double beds, a sitting corner with two armchairs, shelf with kettle and basket with tea bags and other comfort items and an ensuite complete bathroom with shower stall.

Apartment Malvasia is equipped for disabled persons. Each apartment has a private furnished garden area on the central lawn.
