Honey
Collected in two different apiaries located throughout the estate, our honey conveys a palpable sense of its floral surrounds. From lavender growing in profusion near the apiary to chestnut, ivy and orchard blossoms found throughout the grounds, our raw artisan honey changes subtly in perfume and flavour depending on the flowering season. Produced by indigenous local bees and free from chemicals and added sugar, it’s collected and cold-extracted by our onsite beekeeper to fully retain its potent natural properties.
Borgo honey is an intrinsic part of our ‘farm to plate’ philosophy, served to guests at our breakfast buffet and restaurants, and harnessed in our range of natural skincare.
- Type: Millefiori (blossom/nectar).
- Bee strain: Apis mellifera ligustica (Italian honeybees), indigenous to the Siena area.
- Extraction: Cold-extracted via centrifuge.
- Flavour notes: Lavender, chestnut and fruit blossoms (July harvest); hints of ivy (September harvest).
- Colour and consistency: Golden amber brown with a viscous, grainy texture.
Our boutique hotel was born out of the passion and desire to create and share a unique yet welcoming place where nature meets luxury. The location we chose in Tuscany, near Siena, San Gimignano and San Galgano and not far from Florence, was essential for bringing a sense of calm, relaxation and well-being and has enabled us to transport you far away from the stresses of the outside world. With a 13th century villa at its heart, our five star award-winning hotel is a haven rich in history where people can come to celebrate a special occasion such as a honeymoon or a wedding, to relax with our bespoke spa treatments or to simply enjoy a romantic taste of heaven. Our definition of luxury is attention to detail, unsurpassed friendly service and unique experiences in a comfortable yet stylish setting. We have taken inspiration from our own personal travels and observations, pinpointing the very details that make the difference between a 5 star hotel and “The Borgo Experience”.
