Your Home away from Home
Under the Tuscan Sun
Lost in time. Borgo di Vagli — a majestic sanctuary that captures the essence of serenity and peace. This 14th century medieval Hamlet has been meticulously restored to exist in perfect harmony with its natural, rural setting.
This is genuine Tuscany, that romantic lifestyle sought by many, and found by few.
You might be the next one.
Residences
Your Tuscan Retreat
Upon his first tour of Borgo di Vagli, architect Fuivio Di Rosa became consumed with the “bug to make it live again,” and dedicated the next ten years to seeing his vision through to completion. The Hamlet maintains as faithfully as possible its medieval feel, atmosphere and look, without compromising modern-day comforts and needs.
The intimate one-and two-bedroom residences have been brought back to life to inspire the charm of a simpler time and embrace owners with the true experience of living in a rural Tuscan hamlet.
Original 14th century doorways and windows cut through thick stone walls to lend an authentic feel. Among the ancient architecture, you will find genuine rural furnishings, Tuscan antiques, terra cotta floors, exposed wooden beam ceilings, fully equipped kitchens with handcrafted cutlery, cozy bathrooms, and luxurious Busatti linens alongside modern conveniences like satellite television, bluetooth speakers, DVD players and high speed WiFi internet connections.
