Reviews of Borgo Argenina

It was a great old village with amazing nature, and a pool and kind people. We enjoyed our stay a lot and felt sad while we were leaving

Rarely do we give 10/10, but this stay was definitely one. Freshly home baked cake everyday at the breakfast buffet, an incredible terrace. The whole accommodation has the vibes of a neat Tuscan village, interiors are super clean and kept in classical Italian chic. Every morning we felt the urge to explore the lush gardens with its fruit trees, the houses, play with the three local kitties and chat with neighbors. Elena gave great hints of what to visit in the surrounding area. Being able to have an "honesty tab" on every room is not only convenient but creates a real feeling of trust and increases hospitality. The property is quite big so that guests are scattering and it almost feels like you have everything for your own, yet there's always options to mingle, especially the occasional dinner, which you optionally can join. We joined in one which had live jazz background music in the garden together with a dozen or so other guests. Incredible experience. The pool is wonderful to refresh yourself. Conveniently it features a fridge and freezer nearby with cocktails, wine, soft drinks, beer and ice-cream whose consumption is paid with said honesty tab. There's a small selection of sports equipment (yoga mats, weights, tension straps, ...) in a trunk in the garden and an electrical vehicle charging point. Again, we can only say that this (our honeymoon) stay at Borgo Argenina exceeded our expectations by magnitudes.

Small thing: There's no shower head mount in the bathtub. You can practically only shower while sitting or take a full bath.

Very peaceful. Loved the surroundings. Although you are sharing a building with other guests it is very quiet and we rarely saw or heard anyone! Great activities like the bike ride tour through the countryside with wine tasting.

The location is very lovely. Parking is easy, pool is so peaceful and comfortable, lots of friendly cats and dogs on-site and the staff help you carry luggage to the accomodation via a golf cart which is very fun :) They also hosted a wonderful bbq on one of the nights which was a great activity. The accomodation seems to be family run which is also great to see and support!

The sink in the bathroom didn't work too well. We also had a bug problem however the staff were very quick to rectify it. Bath towels are not exchanged unless you sleep 7 nights which is a bit too long especially in summer when you take frequent showers. All in all though, we still liked it a lot.

Quiet, beautiful surroundings, gracious hosts

Absolutely nothing

The property was immaculate! A unique village conveniently located. The room and facilities were simply exquisite, we didn’t want to leave.

Could not fault anything.

An amazing, generational family-run business that puts heart into what they do. The owners are exceptionally kind, welcoming, and genuinely accommodating. The cooking class was a standout experience. View is breathtaking, every detail was perfect. Highly recommended!

Everything was amazing.

The cooking class that we took was the best part about this property - we were able to learn about the history of the place from the woman who built and designed it, and it felt like we were a bit more in touch with the Tuscan experience. Our room and the views from our apartment were beautiful.

What a special place… just relax and have a bottle of wine, while sitting outside and enjoying the Land view

Beautiful grounds, very friendly staff

Paying for washing tablet

Gorgeous secluded place. So beautiful and quiet with a lovely breakfast and pool

We liked absolutely everything! The place is stunning, comfortable and staff super helpful. Nothing was a problem. Room was very clean and the whole property and the whole area breath taking. We changed our plans a bit and decided to rent electric bicycles and they arrived within an hour all ready and set up to use. Breakfasts to die for, massive selection of cold meats and salads together with lighter options were also available. Would recommend to everyone as location is great if you travel by car. Thank you Gabrielle and family!

A stunningly beautiful place perched atop a hill, offering breathtaking views in every direction. The buildings recreate an ancient village and are exquisitely designed. The service is excellent and welcoming, with the ladies in the dining area being especially wonderful. Breakfast is delicious, with a different fresh surprise each morning. Overall, this place truly delivers an incredible Tuscan experience. No on-site restaurant, and the nearest options are 20+ minutes away. The shared kitchen isn’t for cooking, which wasn’t clearly stated, so we had to change our dinner plans. No coffee/tea in the rooms, and making a cup in the shared kitchen costs €1. The narrow private road makes two-way driving and parking tricky when it’s full. None of this ruined the experience—just good to know in advance.

Amazing location, very beautiful views, well connected and within a reasonable driving distance from major cities. Peaceful and quiet. The hosts were helpful and pleasant. There was heating in the house, and a chimney, which we didn't use.

We stayed in what was advertised as a "Deluxe Two-Bedroom Apartment". The distribution of the apartment itself was ok, but it definitely is in urgent need of a reform. It is a rustic house, but rustic doesn't need to mean old to the point of things working poorly. The bathroom was a nightmare, the shower cabin is old and mouldy, and the water pressure was non existent. Several times we had no water and couldn't wash hands or flush the toilet because the toilet tank woudn't fill in. Sometimes there was no hot water. Sometimes the flow would be so poor that you'd only get a few drops barely enough to wet your hands. The electricity plugs are outdated, we couldn't plug any of our devices to charge and there were only two adaptors for the whole apartment and one of them didn't even fit (we're from Europe, so in theory the plugs should be the same). The coffee machine in the kitchen leaks. There were 4 coffee capsules for a week of stay of 5 people, and when we bought new ones at a local shop, it turns out they were not the right kind, so it was money thrown out. There were of course no instructions on which capsules are the right ones, so you either know it or you don't. There was no TV in the apartment (even though it's supposed to be there). Not that we need a TV, but traveling with kids, having a TV can be helpful. Swimming pool was supposed to be open until Nov 3rd, but it was already closed on Oct 28th. Breakfast was apparently not included, although this wasn't clear during the reservation. We were informed that we could order a breakfast basket each day ahead of time, even though there was a breakfast room that was used by other guests. We couldn't use it, so no opinion on breakfast. It would be good to have mosquito nets to avoid wasps, flies and other bugs in the room. All in all, if you're staying for a few days and are fine with certain inconveniences, it's a good place to stay.
