Borgo Finocchieto Estate Tuscany, unique among luxury villas in Tuscany, is a beautifully and elegantly restored eight hundred-year-old village, or “borgo,” with stunning views located thirty minutes south of Siena and very close to Montalcino in the Brunello wine-growing district. John Phillips, the owner of the Borgo, is an American of Italian ancestry and former U.S. Ambassador to Italy from 2013 to early 2017; he purchased the property in 2001 and spent the next eight years planning and overseeing the Borgo's extensive renovation. Five village houses, atop six acres of Tuscan hilltop grounds, accommodate groups of up to 44 guests in 22 bedrooms. The Borgo specializes in creating unforgettable, custom-tailored experiences for gatherings of all kinds.
