borgo la corte - tuscany: san gimignano and volterra

Borgo La Corte is a wonderful location with pool  surrounded by a beautiful landscape  near San Gimignano. This ancient building is composed by 15 beautiful apartments and  offers accomodation for 2 to 6 guests in apartments of 45 to 120 square meters of living space. All flats / apartments have air conditioning and satellite TV. At guests’ disposal furnished outdoor areas, a beautiful swimming pool (16 x 8 m), garden and parking spaces.

BORGO LA CORTE is located along the old gravel panoramic road to San Gimignano with open views of the beautiful countryside and the famous towers. The property lies on the side of a hill and enjoys the privileged position of sitting in the midst of the splendid Tuscan countryside, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards producing an excellent olive oil of the highest quality and the famous Vernaccia di San Gimignano.

This ancient property first belonged to the noble Acciaiuoli family and then to the Royal House of the Savoia family. It has then been recently restored respecting the different architectural and historical periods in which it was built and has been divided into apartments of different sizes and typology to satisfy the clients needs.

Traditional Tuscan dishes and fine wines can be tasted during the diners organised by the owners in the garden or in the caves. Furthermore, the region has a great culinary tradition; everywhere you go you can enjoy the wonderful dishes of Tuscan cuisine, accompanied by the fine wines.

Outdoors, century-old cypress trees, beautiful garden with plants and flower-filled green spaces. The outdoor equipment includes a gazebo with wrought iron tables and chairs and a large swimming pool (16 x 8 m).

Upon request, the resort offers three times per week (Tuesday, Friday and Saturday)  typical regional menus (appetizer, pasta dish, main dish and dessert) accompanied by a fine selection of Tuscan wines. Depending on the weather, either in the romantic gazebo or arranged in a stylish interior, the so-called Stanza del Duca
