Once home to a horsewoman’s stable, Villa La Cavallerizza now stands as a refined retreat that blends countryside charm with understated elegance. Just a short stroll from the heart of Borgo Pignano, this 3-bedroom villa overlooks the estate’s stables and horse arena, with views stretching across undulating Tuscan hills.
Inside, the villa is light-filled and characterful, offering three en suite bedrooms with king-size double beds, all opening to the pretty garden. The delightful living space is open plan to an attractive kitchen and dining area with three sets of arched doors opening to a shaded dining terrace with glorious vistas.
Outside, the private heated swimming pool is an idyllic spot for long summer days or sit back on the raised terrace with a glass of Chianti wine in hand as you gaze out to Tuscan scenery.
Thoughtful details abound, from daily housekeeping and evening turndown service to fresh flowers, seasonal fruit and a bottle of estate wine on arrival. A golf buggy is at your disposal for exploring the estate, while parking with an EV charger ensures convenience at every turn.
Guests of Villa La Cavallerizza enjoy all the privileges of Borgo Pignano’s wonderful hospitality. Begin your day with an organic buffet breakfast served at the estate’s hotel (or delivered to your door for a supplement), then indulge in the estate’s many offerings, from the limestone spa to the Michelin-starred restaurant led by Chef Stefano Cavallini. For younger guests, there’s a dedicated family pool, summer Kid’s Club and room to roam whether playing tennis, horse-riding, wildlife spotting or enjoying cycle rides through the estate.
Creative souls will find inspiration in the estate’s art gallery, artisanal workshops and scenic walking trails, with other curated experiences such as cookery or painting classes, truffle hunting and vineyard picnics available through the concierge.
