Discovering Il Borghino is an unexpected delight, discretely situated on a quiet road of a charming hamlet, just 6 km from San Gimignano. Il Borghino has recently been converted into 5 apartments, four on the ground floor, one on the first floor.

You may choose the freedom of staying on a self-catering basis or take the Bed and Breakfast / half-board option with full hotel services, including daily cleaning, daily breakfast service, laundry service.

The garden is located in the adjacent olive groves and the view from here, over the Tuscan countryside, is a delightful picture. In the evenings there is a choice between the restaurant Leonetto, located just 60 yards away, or driving to one of the many local restaurants; both Certaldo and San Gimignano boast an excellent choice of restaurants.

Il Borghino represents the perfect start to a day of exploring the nearby hill towns of Certaldo and Volterra, with Florence and Siena both reachable in an hour. On the other hand you might just stay and relax by the pool. The pool is discretely placed and is shared with the guests of the neighbouring hotel, located 60 yards from the property. Certaldo is on the main railway line to Florence to Siena; ideal for visiting Tuscany’s two centrepieces by train, leaving the worry of parking behind.
