We wanted a quiet agriturismo location near Siena.The Antico Borgo Porgiarello exceeded our expectations. Nino, the patriarch of the family which owns and operates the property extensively renovated and remodeled this working farm in 2000 to create a rustic haven. The views across the Colle Val D'Elsa were spectacular whether during the day, watching the magical sunsets or at night looking at the lights of San Gimignano and other Tuscan hill towns flickering like medieval torches against the splendid backdrop of the night sky. We had a suite with a small well equipped kitchen, TV, table and sofa, modern bathroom with great hot water and a comfortable bedroom. We stayed for 5 nights and ate dinner every night at the lovely little restaurant on the property. One of Nino's sons is a very talented chef and served a splendid and varied 4 course dinner every night. Breakfasts were also very good. The property is only accessible by car, up a narrow, windy road, so we would breakfast and then head out for the day. We visited Montereggiano, San Gimignano, and Sienna on successive days and spent one lovely languid day reading on our private terrace, food shopping in a nearby village and lolling about the lovely big infinity pool.
