Borgo Vescine

My wife and I stayed here two weeks ago for three days, it was one of our best experience's ever staying in Italy. We never stayed in Tuscany before and we just literally stumbled on finding this Hotel. Domizia and her entire staff was great. Very tentative from all of the restaurant staff to every ground keeper. My wife took a cooking class with Luigi the head chef ,and she is still talking about him. The food in both restaurants were excellent. One night we had dinner under the olive trees which was very romantic. We definitely will come back here again. Thank You ;)

The Borgo Vèscine was a very peaceful, romantic and quiet experience of a hotel. The architecture and layout hotel itself is extremely beautiful and really does set itself apart from other local hotel options with its rustic vibe. The rooms are quaint but you can tell that they are very well kept. The staff was extremely helpful at all times and will also provide power converters to charge your foreign electronics in the room. The breakfast buffet has a very wide variety of options sure to cater to all tastes. The Borgo Vescine provides a lovely experience and I would absolutely recommend this lovely hotel to everyone.

One star is all I can give this place. We do a lot of diligence in our planning and this place has rave reviews so we had no concerns. We’d like to think it was an off week for Borgo Vescine or something — but based on our experience, I would not encourage anyone to stay here. I’ve lived in Europe for 6 months and this was the 3rd leg of our honeymoon trip and it was by far the worst value for your money that I’ve stayed — and I have a high threshold! Absolutely not a 4 star hotel. 1. The service was awful. If you wanted something, you’d need to first find someone somewhere on the grounds and then ask them to get you what you were looking for. Nobody serves you. 2. There is a pool bar and another bar that says hours are open all day, but never any servers there to take your order. 3. We were staying for our honeymoon and all our other hotels made sure to add something a little special, Borgo didn’t even acknowledge it. 4. We had a lizard in our room and killed over 2 dozen bugs within the first hour. We then asked to move rooms (which ultimately downgraded our stay) and there were no bugs, so that was better. But not a good start! 5. The picnic is all the leftover foods from breakfast packaged up in a cute basket. 6. The wine tasting is them just pouring you 3 of their wines — no conversation, not even telling you what the wines are, unless you ask (a recurring theme here) 7. I got food poisoning our 2nd night and the only food I ate was at the hotel. This had me bed ridden for over 14 hours. 8. Last but not least, they booked a private transfer for us. It was confirmed in writing and reconfirmed the day before. The transportation never showed and ultimately had to be rebooked with a taxi in Florence causing us to wait an hour+ for a new transfer. We were seconds away from missing our train. The grounds are beautiful, but that is all this hotel has to offer. Insanely overpriced.
