Italian Hospitality-Borgo San Luigi

Located in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, Borgo San Luigi is a four hundred year old hotel, with open spaces and peaceful surroundings. Located between Florence and Sienna it is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. We felt so welcome here. The staff was very warm and gracious.

Please have a look at the Borgo San Luigi web site. http://www.borgosanluigi.it/en/index.html

It was an incredible experience. Chef Ricardo even allowed us into his kitchen. Three generations cooking in a restaurant kitchen. How awesome is that? Have a look at the video on You Tube.
