The Village
Il Borgo Villa di Bossi Pucci is an ideal place from which to explore all the splendors of Tuscany. Il Borgo, which means "the village" in Italian, is comprised of six 17th century farm buildings which housed the farmers and their families and stored their precious harvests. This is where the grapes fermented and olives were pressed. It is the quintessential Tuscan home beautifully restored into fully equipped apartments accommodating one to five persons each with its own terrace or balcony, en suite baths, kitchen, and living room. All residences are elegantly furnished with great care given to retaining the classic features of the original structures: the warm rich colors, open wood beamed ceilings, fireplaces, porticos, a bread and pizza oven in the gathering area ideal for small or large groups, all forming a beautiful village in perfect harmony with its surroundings.
