Guests of Borgo Santo Pietro

About twenty minutes away, and on the same side of Tuscany as the Abbey of San Galgano — one of my favourite stops sits almost on your doorstep.

Borgo Santo Pietro is around thirty-five minutes from my base in Colle di Val d'Elsa, out towards Chiusdino. Staying here puts you unusually close to the Abbazia di San Galgano, the roofless Gothic abbey, and the sword in the stone above it — a stop most visitors drive an hour for.

I handle arrivals and departures from Florence, Pisa and Rome, and day trips into the wine country and the Val d'Orcia. Being local, I can time a San Galgano visit for the quiet, golden end of the day.

Tell me your dates and I will send back clear prices and a suggested plan — nothing to pay online to hold them.
