Borgo Pignano 

What's included

Breakfast at Villa Pignano

The wellness centre is carved out of limestone in what was once the estate’s winery. Today, it offers decadent treatments using oils from local flora. In summer, you can choose a private spot near the infinity pool for an outdoor treatment. For yogis, there are plenty of classes, both one-to-one and group options in an atmospheric indoor yoga studio. There’s an all-weather tennis court and a large gym featuring Technogym equipment.

There’s so much to do here. Picking up bikes and maps is a great way to explore the estate and the two nature reserves, Berignone and Castelvecchio or following quiet roads through the scenery on road, gravel, or electric bikes.

Look out for painting classes or try a cooking class and learn pasta-making or baking. There are also wine tastings in the historic cellar and artisanal classes where guests can make handmade soap with the estate’s herbs, flowers, and honey.

Head out with specially trained dogs and go truffle hunting on the estate or take a more leisurely estate tour to go behind the scenes and see the farm in action.

Access to infinity pool for guests 12 and older, and there’s a family pool too.

The estate’s farm supplies the restaurants with olives, cereals, fruit, and vegetables. The kitchen garden uses natural and sustainable agricultural growing methods improve the soil and increase the vitality of the farm, orchards, olive groves, vineyard, and vegetable gardens. The estate keeps bees, and their honey is used in products created by the resort.

Borgo Pignano uses solar panels and chip-fired boilers to power its heating and hot water systems. These boilers are fuelled by wood harvested from the estate's forests. The gardens are watered with filtered rainwater that is collected and stored, and the farmland is irrigated using natural and manmade lakes.

This is a great option for families, with plenty of accommodation choices that comfortably fit everyone, plus options with kitchens if you fancy eating in, or your kids are still at the age where it’s useful to have somewhere to prepare bottles and snacks.

In the summer, there are half- and full-day programmes where kids can paint and sculpt and try dye-making with spices and flowers. Older children love to roam and bikes in the gardens and woods around the estate and take riding lessons.

In the restaurants, there are children’s menus.
