Karen's Review Of
Borgo Argenina:
Borgo Argenina:
Borgo Argenina has all the elements of a “bestseller” bed and breakfast: the perfect location in the heart of Chianti surrounded by vineyards, very comfortable accommodation in an ancient stone farmhouse, glorious countryside views, and, above all, Elena, the Borgo Argenina’s gregarious hostess. She left behind a successful fashion business in Milan and bought an entire abandoned village, restoring two of the stone houses for herself and the bed and breakfast. She chose the best artisans in the area and literally worked with them to create the house of her dreams. Everything from painting stenciled borders in rooms through restoring furniture to sewing quilted bedspreads was executed exclusively by Elena herself. The downstairs living rooms and breakfast room are beautifully done in rich cream and soft yellows that complement perfectly the brick-vaulted ceilings and terracotta floors. Elena is up at dawn baking cakes for breakfast and makes occasional dinners for the guests accompanied by classical music. Every little detail has been attended to in the pink-and-blue bedrooms adorned with white eyelet curtains, patchwork quilts, and dried flower arrangements. Across the way is a very comfortable three-bedroom, independent house.

My husband and I along with lifelong friends spent 5 glorious days at Borgo Argenina. Elena and staff were fantastic. We stayed in her largest villa, Villa Oliviera, and it was so much more beautiful than the website portrayed. Each day after a long sightseeing trek, we looked forward to coming ’home’ to this wonderful p...

The beauty of Chianti only matched by the beauty of Borgo Argenina and the gracious Elena. What a way to make our honeymoon seem to spring out of a novel. You had to pinch me as we drove up to this wonderful home to make sure it was real. Elena is a beautiful person who made our stay a perfect memory. The meal she cooked for us was out of this world and certainly made for a highlight. I cooked a meal out of the cook book she gave us as soon as we got home to accompany the wonderful wine ...
