Antico Borgo B&B

Perched on one of Mount Amiata’s foothills, the medieval village of Seggiano ( Grosseto ) looks out over this hidden corner of Tuscany, near Montalcino and Val d’Orcia. The Antico Borgo B&B is located in a historic building dating back to 1878 that has been lovingly renovated. The Antico Borgo’s owners love their land, its culture and traditions, and want to share this with their guests. The Bed and Breakfast includes the following services: free Wi-Fi connection, TV, private bathrooms and heating. Pets are welcome (dogs, cats, etc.).

The Antico Borgo B&B is housed in a historic building where each of the three upper floors is an independent apartment. Each apartment is named after the old neighbourhoods of the village of Seggiano: FONTE, TORRETTA, PIAZZA. The apartments share a panoramic terrace which is the ideal place for guests to enjoy stunning sunsets.

Seggiano is within easy reach of three World Heritage sites – the Val d’Orcia, Pienza and Siena – lying at the heart of Italy’s richest province in terms of nature and culture.
The village is probably Etruscan in origin; during the medieval period it came under the jurisdiction of the San Salvatore Abbey, later developing as an autonomous community. After 1265 it came under the rule of Siena, becoming a stronghold against the Aldobrandeschi family from the nearby Santa Fiora village.
Nearby are: the well-known wine-producing villages of Montalcino and Montepulciano, popular for their Brunello and Nobile wines; Pienza, created by a medieval pope as an ‘ideal’ city; Siena, with its famous palio horse race; as well as all the charming villages of the Orcia Valley. Just across from Seggiano is Daniel Spoerri’s Garden, an open-air sculpture park created by this famous artist. Guests can also stroll around the beautiful villages of Pitigliano, Sorano and Sovana which stand on Etruscan foundations; spend a relaxing day in the spa resorts in Bagno Vignoni and Saturnia or visit the impressive tenth-century Sant’Antimo Abbey, known for its Romanic architecture and stunning position. The ANTICO BORGO B&B lies at the foot of Mount Amiata, a superb natural park home to countless wild animals, including the wolf and wild boar. This dense woodland also provides visitors with a range of both summer and winter activities (mountain biking, hill walking, snowboarding, skiing, etc.), including barbecuing in the designated picnic areas.

There are three airports that serve southern Tuscany: Rome Fiumicino, Rome Ciampino and Pisa. Cars can be hired from all these airports. Alternatively, some local companies offer airport transfers.
