Borgo 69
Sprung from a love story – one spanning decades of high-end hospitality, no less – a modern spin on Italian rusticity, and a name with a knowing wink: Borgo 69 and Mr & Mrs Smith have common interests, it seems. After meeting in London in 1990, Philip Robinson and Paolo Kastelec followed their heart (and Paolo's heritage) to Italy, and after restoring legendary Villa Fontelunga, set about licking into shape this labour of love (named for its street number, FYI). Philip's past life as a film-set designer has come in handy: upcycled furnishings, market-sourced antiques and luxe local materials (travertine, woods, marbles) join elegantly with Tuscan terracottas and greens and the odd beamed ceiling. Settle in with gentle games of boules, a swim in the infinity pool whose edge gives way to the glory of theVal di Chiana, or have the concierge send you off in a classic car to local vineyards, to a falconry session, or maybe a hot-air-balloon ride. Then, let your hosts wine you, dine you and…send you to bed very content.
Borgo 69 enjoys an empyrean placement between Siena and Arezzo, handily close to an arterial autostrada, yet deeply entrenched in vine-clad countryside.
