Fantastic place!
Our hosts Sylvia and Franco were extremely helpful prior to our stay as well as during. They provided maps for hiking and for interesting villages to see in the area!
The hotel is in a very small area but accessible to a wide area. Restaurant across road is highly recommended.
The hotel has a beautiful pool, well maintained and an area for table tennis or relaxing. Many BBQ’s are available for use.
Beautiful stay if you want to live the real Tuscany feeling. Hotel staff was extremely friendly, helpful and the overall property is extremely neat, always keeping the Italian style.
This rustic farmhouse aparthotel ticks all the boxes. Booked 2 nights, stayed 7! The location is beautiful, great views from the good sized pool across the valley. Tuscany at its best. Special mention goes to Sylvia and Franco for perfect hospitality - very helpful with everything, thank you very much. It has been a real pleasure staying here. Hope to return soon.
First week of April Family of 5: Beautiful views, Silvia extremely helpful with reservations for sites in Florence, her knowledge of process, where to park in city. Very grateful. Enjoyed ping-pong! We stayed in an apartment with no one above us and it was nice and quiet.
We had a fabulous experience at Borgo Sicelle. The location was perfect the views especially at sunset were beautiful. The scenery in the Chianti region is stunning. It was very peaceful. We enjoyed having our own kitchen and the pool was great. The owners Franco and Sylvia were lovely and very helpful. You do need a car for sight seeing unless you want to just chill by the pool and enjoy the surroundings.
Having the popular restaurant across the street was great!
Franco and Sylvia were great hosts, and really went out of their way to be helpful during our ten night stay, but the area has built in hardships that made the trip more of an adventure than a vacation. The room sounds appealing at 4000 plus feet elevation and looking down on a beautiful valley, but the road in and out is treacherous, especially toward the St. Donato side. The nearby towns of Castellina and Racca are wonderful, and Firenza, San Gimignana and Sienna are less than an hour away, but if you plan to travel far afield you will find the driving difficult. Roads in this area are constantly up and downhill and offer one twisting turn after another.
This is a wonderful property - full equipped apartments in the middle of Tuscany! Experience the fun of cooking with local ingredients. This inn is well-located and very comfortable. A good value for the money.
Superb views. Spacious accommodation. Hosts very gracious and informative.
Great pool and pool furniture. Very good grilling equipment.
Spacious common area with table tennis table. Secure parking.
This was a property that was converted to 10 apartments in a Tuscany farmhouse. Actually 2 buildings with a swimming pool and private parking. Nice views and in a good location. A car is a must.
The views are amazing. The apartment had everything needed to cook if you want to. There is also a very good restaurant across the road. owners are helpful and knowledgeable. Perfect!
We stayed for 8 nights. The hotel staff are fantastic in every way. They are helpful without being in your face. Franco is a font of knowledge from telling us where to park to see Florence to handy tips about very small local towns to visit. We had a 2 bedroom apartment which was clean and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. There are bbq's and an oven for guests to use in the grounds. The children made the most of the table tennis and the swimming pool. The laundry facilities were very generous and if we had known this we would have taken fewer clothes with us. It was lovely watching the sunset over the Tuscan hills while meeting and talking to other hotel guests. We are so pleased that we found this hotel.
My wife and I had an amazing stay!! The property is absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. We stayed one week and waking up to the most beautiful sun rises and amazing views of the Tuscan countryside is exactly how to experience Tuscany and fall in love all over again! From Borgo you can wine taste.dine and experience the Chianti region all within minutes- the location is fantastic.
Silvia and her husband are gracious and amazingly helpful- booking reservations at nearby castles for wine rating and fabulous dinners. We have traveled Italy many times and if you want to experience Tuscany this is a hidden Jem which you will absolutely fall in love with!!!
This was one of the highlights of a long trip. The owners are great and very helpful, and the property is stunning. Clean pool, quality pingpong table and other activities, and a great base to explore the region. We didn't want to leave after 3 nights.
Excellent room in heart of Tuscany, small but very nice kitchen to cook own meals. Lovely views of Vineyards, covered car park. Best of all very helpful owners, gave excellent suggestions and very detailed maps to help explore all of Tuscany. Would definitely stay here again.
Very nice stay! We spent three nights and enjoyed having the use of a kitchen for meals. The owner was very helpful with planning our day trips to Florence and Sienna and recommended great drives throughout the Chianti region. The grounds are very well kept and the views are amazing! We spent the first night enjoying a bottle of wine by the pool and watching the sun go down. The room was clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends.
Borge Sicelle is situated on a small road surrounded by olive trees and grape vines. Our apartment had a small refrigerator and stove top in a kitchen counter that was very adequate for preparing breakfast and dinners. The wifi worked well although it only extended to the courtyard and within the main house, not in the separate house where our apartment was. The owners were very welcoming and available to answer questions. They were also very ready to help with directions and advice on how we could spend our time. This was an excellent base from which to visit the surrounding towns of Chianti, Siena and Florence. This is a wonderful place to stay in Chianti.

Muy bien , lo único malo es q no tiene desayuno pero todo perfecto
Accueil chaleureux. Conseils pertinents pour les visites en Toscane ( itinéraire/stationnement//villes - villages à ne pas manquer). Sylvia Parle français) et Franco ( parle anglais) sont des hôtes horsmparis. Avec en prime piscine/ grand BBQ/ laveuses/ salle de jeux etc. Nous y sommes restés 7 jours et que du positif.
Ottima stuttura, pulita, ben curata con proprietari molto gentili e disponibili. Camere dalle dimensioni ottimali, pulite e funzionali, con bano, cucina con piccolo tv ed tanti accessori, e camera da letto comod. Unica pecca la doccia, che spruzza acqua forte e con un getto fastidioso..
Les hôtes sont exceptionnellement accueillants et aidants. C est un agriturusmo possédant de petit appartement avec chambre et cuisine. Le paysage est charmant et relaxant. Le village est très très petit, soit eglise, restaurant et leur auberge. Oubliez le night life. Nous y retournerions sans hésiter.
