We stayed here five nights and it was too long for me. You could hear everything in the rooms beside yours which was annoying in my opinion (we were whispering so no one would hear us). And I NEED a shower, so the whole European bathtub with handheld shower started to wear on me after the second or third day.... more

Borgo Argenina is a beautiful bed and breakfast in the Chianti region that is completely relaxing and in a great location to base your trip to Tuscany. The 1000 year old buildings are wonderfully restored and comfortable. Elena is a wonderful hostess who will make certain that you have a true Italian experience. It is definitely worth having dinner with... more

To get an idea what this inn is like, see the movie 'Stealing Beauty', different characters, but same scenery, although Elena is also a true character. Beautiful decor, cozy, charming, great patio for wine & cheese with an amazing view. You can even see the Milky Way at night. Elena is very helpful with restaurants and sight seeing. more

We stayed at Borgo Argenina at the recommendation of a friend. Elena is a wonderful host. She gave us recommendations on sites to see and restaurants to visit based on our interests and preferences. The rooms are small but comfortable for sleeping. Our favorite aspect of Borgo Argenina is the view from the breakfast room and patio. The patio overlooks... more

Every where one looked it was a breathtaking vista. The highlight was the evening Elena prepared a delicious dinner for us in her kitchen with some of the other guests. For a highly... more

My husband and I stayed here with another couple for 3 nights in mid October. We absolutely loved Borgo Argenina and Elena. This place is very special. You feel as though you have been transported back in time. Elena has done a magnificent job of restoring this 1,000 year old property. The setting is dream-like, with the most amazing views... more

Borgo Argenina was fabulous in every way. The accommodations were beautiful, comfortable and clean. Everything about it screamed that you were in the heart of Tuscany. Elena immediately made you feel like you were home. I couldn't get enough of walking around the property and taking pictures of her garden, the vineyards and the stunning countryside. If there was one... more

We didn't want to leave.... it took everything to get in that car... the owner and family treat you like you are family.... more

We spent three days in Chianti at Elena's beautifully restored "hamlet" in the heart of the countryside. The place is lovely and there are travelogue-perfect walks and drives in virtually every direciton. Lovely local restaurants and very good wineries about. The short drive to Siena made for an exciting daytrip, though it is tempting to simply remain at Borgo Argenina,... more
