Pieve a Salti - Buonconvento (Siena)

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Tuscany, Borgo di Pieve a Salti reveals itself as a true earthly paradise. My encounter with Leonardo, the energetic manager of this oasis, opened the doors to an extraordinary experience.

After a pleasant conversation about football and Leonardo's passions, we ventured out in a jeep across the estate. The trails, welcoming to both cyclists and hikers, allowed us to immerse ourselves in the real Tuscan landscape, a living painting I had admired so often on television. But nothing could have prepared me for the splendor that unfolded before my eyes from the top of the hill, where a majestic oak tree dominates the valley.

Borgo di Pieve a Salti enchants with its numerous offerings: a restaurant that reflects the soul of local cuisine, a spa shrouded in an atmosphere of pure serenity, a riding stable inviting to explore these impressive panoramas on horseback, and not just one but two swimming pools - one outdoors and one indoors - surrounded by the tranquil silence of the Tuscan countryside. And let's not forget about the tennis court, the mountain bikes ready to explore the surroundings, and an area dedicated to the white truffle of the Crete Senesi, a true culinary gem.

With over three decades of dedication and love for this land, the Prandi family has crafted a true paradise where one can experience the best of the "Tuscan life". Organic food straight from their farm, excellent wine that reflects the area, and an atmosphere of peace and relaxation that envelops every moment of the stay, caressing the heart of anyone who crosses the threshold.

This enchanting farmhouse is divided into two separate complexes: Azienda Agricola Caprili, featuring a restaurant, an outdoor pool, a tennis court, and a conference room, and "Borgo di Pieve a Salti", located one kilometer away from Podere Caprili. The latter offers rooms and apartments, a wellness center with a heated indoor pool and jacuzzi (for a fee), unforgettable horse riding tours (also by appointment), and the opportunity to rent bikes to explore the breathtaking panoramas surrounding this beautiful estate.
