BORGO RINATO

Built on a hillside facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, Borgo Rinato is a former priory transformed into a visionary masterpiece, set in the heart of Tuscany’s Maremma region. With a private helipad, an impressive collection of contemporary art, and a spectacular saltwater infinity pool overlooking olive groves towards the Argentario coast, this estate redefines the frontier of luxury villa hospitality, all rooted in a genuine commitment to sustainability. Built with stone cut from its own hillside and shaped by Italian artisans, the property carries a distinctive, tactile elegance throughout.

What was once a spiritual retreat for cloistered nuns has now been transformed into a luxury sanctuary that channels the same sense of quietude. Traditional Roman construction techniques allow the villa to work in harmony with its surroundings, while vaulted wine cellars, secret passageways, and traditional fireplaces stir the imagination at every turn. Art here is far from an afterthought — sculptures by Matteo Pugliese and murals by Pixel Pancho feature throughout the estate.

The facilities are exceptional. A 32-metre saltwater pool, lined with hand-painted tiles, mirrors the blue hues of the sea, while a professional chef’s kitchen and vaulted wine cellar set the stage for memorable feasts. A private chef is available on request (ingredients not included), and wellness seekers will appreciate the spa’s sauna, Jacuzzi, and dedicated massage area. For more active days, guests can enjoy a tennis court, gym, games room, stables, and forested grounds rich with wildlife to explore.

Eight master suites form the heart of the property, each spacious, warmed by a fireplace during cooler months, and exquisitely scented — a personal touch courtesy of the owner’s wife and her sister, both professional perfume creators. Each bedroom has been thoughtfully composed with its own mood and story, featuring oversized bathrooms with tubs and/or walk-in showers. Some rooms open onto private terraces or balconies, while others feature their own fireplace to light as evening falls — offering a real sense of softness and relaxation after a day exploring the Tuscan countryside.

The central living room is anchored by a striking four-metre-high stone fireplace, the perfect gathering spot for reading or spending time together. The kitchen, a gleaming expanse of stainless steel, invites serious home cooks and professional chefs alike to work with local ingredients sourced directly from Borgo Rinato’s own orchards, gardens, and olive groves.

Cultural and coastal delights lie close by — the medieval village of Magliano in Toscana is under 10 minutes away, while Porto Santo Stefano, Porto Ercole, and Talamone offer easy access to beach life, seafood lunches, and harbourside strolls, all within 30 to 45 minutes.
