Once upon a time, Borgo Finocchieto was the center of a medieval Tuscan village. Today, the nine-bedroom manor house near Buonconvento is an up-to-date gathering place, its 14th-century foundations supporting an event space for fifty, teaching kitchen, media room, gym and jetted tub. Book the villa for an unforgettable event, use it as a base to explore the area around Montalcino, or simply treat yourself to pampering by the villa’s staff.

Indoors and out, Borgo Finocchieto offers a wealth of amenities, from voltage adapters, iPod docking stations and Wi-Fi to conference and ballroom facilities for up to fifty. Stroll the gardens, cook on the outdoor charcoal barbecue, bring a book to the al fresco seating areas by the shared pool or dine under the stars. Go head-to-head at the chess table, PlayStation or Wii, or relax in the library, at the grand piano or in the home theater. A wine-tasting room, gym and indoor jetted tub offer something for everyone.

The villa’s decor reflects its elegant past, with stately beamed ceilings, carved fireplace surrounds and well-preserved cotto floors. But it’s been renovated with comfort in mind, as multiple seating areas offer plenty of sofa space, and warm-toned walls and cheery tile accents create a welcoming feel. There are two dining areas, one formal, one more relaxed, and two kitchens, one for cooking lessons and one for family-style meals.

Borgo Finocchieto has nine bedrooms that can accommodate up to eighteen guests; each has a king bed, en-suite bathroom, mini fridge and sound system for hotel-worthy luxury. Some have additional amenities as well: one has a jetted tub, steam shower, sauna, fireplace and private balcony, another bedroom has its own jetted tub and fireplace, and still others have private balconies, sitting areas and dressing rooms. Young and old alike will appreciate the bedroom with a pull-out sofa and elevator access.

Though you’ll be well looked after by the villa’s wait staff, breakfast chef service, gardener and concierge, it’s only a 5-minute drive to the shops and restaurants in the village of Buonconvento. Montalcino is 15 minutes away, and the city of Siena is only 30 minutes away. Bring your clubs to the golf course, an hour’s drive away, and your shopping bags to Florence, a 75-minute drive. Continue your stay in Italy in Rome or Pisa, each 90 minutes away by car.
