A Taste of Tuscany

Borgo Scopeto Wine & Country Relais is an exceptional five-star hotel nestled among the picturesque hills of the Chianti Classico region in the heart of Tuscany. It is an authentic medieval village with a history dating back to the 14th century, lovingly transformed into a luxurious retreat for guests seeking a perfect harmony of nature, gastronomy, and relaxation.

Enjoy the enchanting beauty of Tuscany's Chianti region from behind the wheel of an elegant sports convertible. Along the way, you'll stop for an exceptional lunch in the picturesque village of Panzano in Chianti — home to the legendary Tuscan butcher Dario Cecchini. His restaurant Solociccia is renowned for its outstanding grilled meat specialities, prepared exclusively from his own farm-raised livestock.

Look forward an unforgettable truffle hunting adventure on a private farm nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, just a short drive from the medieval town of San Gimignano. Accompanied by specially trained dogs, you'll venture into the lush woodland where these skilled four-legged hunters will sniff out precious truffles hidden beneath the soil. Once the hunt is over, the farm's talented staff will transform the freshly foraged truffles into a delicious 3-course lunch that truly captures the essence of Tuscan cuisine. To complete the experience, the farm owners will personally guide you through their estate, offering a fascinating tour of the farm and their winery where you can sample exceptional local wines.

As part of your stay, you will explore the iconic destinations of central Tuscany. The itinerary includes the famous "city of a hundred towers" San Gimignano, the historic Volterra, renowned for its alabaster tradition, and of course the enchanting Siena, whose Piazza del Campo is rightly considered the most beautiful square in Italy. It is especially in the evening light that its unique atmosphere truly comes to life.

The capital of Tuscany is a must for anyone passionate about art, history, and architecture. Its skyline is crowned by the majestic dome of Santa Maria del Fiore, Brunelleschi's masterpiece that continues to inspire awe worldwide. Inside the Galleria dell'Accademia stands Michelangelo's David — perhaps the most celebrated sculpture ever created. The UNESCO-listed historic centre reveals magnificent palaces, churches, and galleries at every turn, echoing a time when Florence stood at the very heart of world culture. This is not just a destination — it is an experience that stays with you. A English-speaking guide will accompany you through the city and its key landmarks.
