Borgo San Felice 4 stars
Immersed in the beautiful, vine-covered countryside of the Chianti region and just a few kilometers away from the historic city of Siena, the age old Borgo San Felice complex, offers guests to this much-loved part of Tuscany an unbeatable combination of superb accommodation, excellent cuisine, and professional wellness facilities.
The earliest existing documentation concerning Borgo San Felice is dated 714, the year in which the powerful bishops of Siena and Arezzo came in to dispute over the control of the Church of San Felice. For centuries San Felice has been known as one of the principal wine producing estates of the Chianti region, and it is here in the vineyards surrounding the old hamlet, or borgo, that the grapes for some of the world's finest wines are cultivated. In recent years the cluster of stone cottages and elegant 19th century houses of which the borgo is comprised, have all been meticulously restored and transformed in luxury country resort, member of the esteemed Relais & Chateaux group.

Guests sojourning at Borgo San Felice, stay in any of the 43 wonderfully romantic bedrooms and suites located in the main palazzo or in the adjacent cottages. All rooms are individually decorated with traditional Tuscan furnishings and offer breathtaking views out over the countryside and the stone walled hamlet.
Superlative Tuscan cuisine is served at Borgo San Felice's 'Poggio Rosso' restaurant, with beautifully presented dishes prepared using only the finest local produce, including the region's highly prized extra virgin olive oil. A gourmet selection of wines ensures the perfect accompaniment to each and every meal, the only difficulty being that of choosing from over 500 labels, including all of the most highly acclaimed Chianti Classicos.
Wine has also found its way in to Borgo San Felice's Health Center, in the form of 'wine therapy', an exceptionally relaxing treatment known for its powerful anti-aging properties.
