Borgo di Capannole
A Retreat in the countryside where the city is just around the corner
Nestled in the gentle hills of Valdambra, between Siena and Florence, Il Borgo di Capannole is a 13th-century Tuscan farmhouse offering independent apartments for holiday and vacation stays, creative retreats, and artist residencies.
What began as a family home has evolved into a small cultural and educational micro-community — a living project rooted in Tuscan tradition, shaped by care, creativity, and respect for nature.
Guests stay in restored apartments with historic character and access shared spaces for workshops, gatherings, and artistic practice. Whether you are looking for a peaceful stay in the Tuscan countryside, a retreat venue near Florence or Siena, or a place to develop creative work in residence, the Borgo offers an environment where living, learning, and creating coexist.
Each stay becomes part of an evolving ecosystem — shaped by the seasons, the people who arrive, and the rhythm we build together.
