Borgo Santo Pietro is booked in exclusive use for weddings, corporate retreats, strategic meetings, product launches and private celebrations of up to 100 guests, with 22 rooms and suites, two restaurants and a spa reserved for the group. The five-star hotel stands on a 300-acre organic estate at Chiusdino, in the countryside south-west of Siena, around a restored 13th-century villa.
Seminars and company events
The events offer covers corporate retreats, award functions, educational retreats, product launches, strategic meetings and roadshows. Every event takes the whole property: the villa, the gardens, the 22 rooms and suites, the restaurants, the spa, the pool and the sports facilities are reserved for one group for a minimum of two nights. That format suits an executive offsite or an incentive for a leadership team, with farm and dairy tours, a cooking school, wine tastings and excursions available as extras. The site does not describe a dedicated meeting room with audiovisual equipment, so the working setup should be agreed with the team in advance.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings range from small gatherings to formal celebrations of up to 100 guests. Blessings can take place in rooms of the villa or in the gardens. The hotel can also arrange a ceremony at the roofless abbey of San Galgano or at the round chapel of Montesiepi, which holds the sword in the stone, a few kilometers away, with the reception and accommodation back at the estate. A marquee can be added in case of rain. Staff are included until 1 am each evening, with later parties charged by the hour. An in-house team of floral designers handles event flowers.
Rooms and capacities
The estate states a maximum of 100 guests. Dinners are set at long tables in the gardens and courtyards around the villa, and the two restaurants are reserved for the group during an exclusive booking. The gardens cover 13 acres.
Accommodation
There are 22 rooms and suites. In the villa: two Deluxe rooms, three Junior Suites, three Suites and a Grand Suite. In the gardens: two Garden Junior Suites around a shared courtyard, seven Garden Suites with private gardens and four Pool Suites with private pools. Some suites connect for families. Extra accommodation for larger groups is arranged separately.
Catering
Saporium, the gourmet restaurant inside the villa, follows a soil-to-plate approach under executive chef Ariel Hagen, using organic produce grown on the estate; the hotel lists a Michelin star and a Michelin Green Star. Its Meo Modo cellar holds about 1,500 labels. Trattoria Sull'Albero, built around a large oak with a terrace over the Valle Serena and the vineyards, serves a Tuscan menu. Food and drink for events are quoted separately from the venue hire.
History and setting
The villa dates from the 13th century, and the estate was once a stopover for medieval pilgrims. Today it combines market gardens, vineyards, nut fields, herb gardens and woods, with sheep, pigs, chickens, bees and alpacas; cheese and yogurt are made on site. The River Merse runs along the edge of the property. The spa uses the Seed to Skin range made in a laboratory on the estate. The hotel holds three Michelin Keys.
Getting there
Siena is about 35 km away by road. Florence airport is about 1 h 30 by car and Pisa airport about 1 h 45.
