BORGO’S EXPERIENCES
The experiences at Borgo Vescine are the rituals of a village that lives. You don't watch Tuscan life here; you take part in it: the harvest with our farmers, the festively laid tables of the Friday Cena in Piazza, the sunset aperitivo where the day gets told, bread from the square's oven, the olive picking, the autumn saffron. Some ask for your hands, some just for your presence, all of them are the real life of the borgo, changing with the seasons.
Choose the ones that call to you, and our Concierge will take care of the rest
