Borgo San Pietro
Arezzo-Castiglion Fiorentino-Toscana

This charming Borgo is set in a magical location, hidden in the Chio valley on the mid-slope of a promontory with stunning views over the valley. The position is strategic for those wishing to visit places like Castiglion Fiorentino, Cortona, Arezzo, and Lake Trasimeno, yet return to enjoy peace and tranquility, and why not, a swim in the pool overlooking the valley. The current Borgo dates back to the 1700’s and includes the main building, a parsonage, an old consecrated church, along with various outbuildings and storage facilities.

– Borgo San Pietro is located just a few minutes by car from Castiglion Fiorentino (10 minutes away), nestled in a lush green valley with few neighboring residences. The village is perched halfway up the hillside, offering stunning panoramic views.
– Historically, it served as a multi-family residence and is believed to have once been a monastery, as one of the two main buildings is an old rectory, and a consecrated church, although in need of restoration, still stands on the property.
– In the 1990’s, the property was renovated and transformed into a charming country hotel and is still used as a hospitality venue, currently functioning as a holiday home.
– The main building, approximately 833 sqm spread over three floors, includes 6 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, along with 2 living rooms — one of which is a spacious ground-floor area that formerly served as the hotel reception. It features a professional kitchen connected to a tavern, 5 lounges, and kitchens on the two upper floors. The top floor houses an apartment, once the owners’ residence, comprising a living room, sitting room, 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a walk-in wardrobe.
– The second building, “La Canonica,” approximately 453 sqm over three floors, includes cellars and storage rooms in the basement, a living room with fireplace, 3 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms on the first floor. The attic floor contains an additional bedroom and bathroom.
– Adjacently, there is a single-nave church with a sacristy.
– Surrounding the two buildings are landscaped courtyards and terraced gardens with flower beds, complemented by an 8×4 meter swimming pool offering breathtaking views of the valley. Additionally, there are 3 agricultural outbuildings, one of which houses a traditional bread/pizza oven.
– The estate also includes 5.2 hectares of land comprising various crops, including an olive grove, woodland, and arable land, with an olive orchard of 450 productive trees.
