Borgo69

Looking out the window of Borgo69 are quintessential Tuscan roads. The same roads that were the movie set for Under the Tuscan Sun. Our villas are so beautiful. They were newly built as part of extensions to a Tuscan farmhouse. The owners have won both Italian and European architecture awards that we all thought were justly deserved. Borgo69 is in the small town of Pozzo Della Chiana. It reminded me a lot of Montcuq with a tiny supermarket, a butcher, and a pizzeria. The local stone lined the walls of our villa and so much thought had gone into every detail – clearly the awards were for the fantastic job that they had done in balancing Tuscan farmhouse architecture with gorgeous high-end luxury, modern living. There was a beautiful book in my room on staircase design and much thought had gone into every tread. Our terraces were surrounded by hundreds of old olive trees. Breakfast was served in a lovely small ristorante, but the villas were fully equipped with everything you would ever need, and we cooked massive bowls of pasta. Al and the bambinos braved the coolish water of the infinity pool sitting right on the edge of the postcard view. We largely get ignored by all and sundry – it is the blue eyed, blond haired bellissima, principessa, bambinos that attract attention wherever we go.
