Borgo dei Gatti Albergo Diffuso & spa

We had the most fantastic stay in Il Borgo del Gatti. The property consists of a number of small houses that have been renovated to accommodate guests. The town is quant and cute, and there is free parking. The rooms are super comfortable. We had a two bedroom with a full kitchen, which enabled us to cook a night or two. There is the most amazing breakfast - savory cheeses and sausage, fresh eggs, local pastries, yogurt and more. Every morning the basket s left outside your door, and picked up when you are finished. There is a fabulous spa, which is free to guests for 90 minutes a day. Massages are extra, but we had one and it was the best ever. The town of Golferenzo, in which Il Borgo is located, is situated in the middle of vineyards that rival Tuscany. The local wine is delicious - pinot nero is the most prevalent grape grown here. Paola, the very lovely manager, is so helpful, and available to answer any and all questions, as well as offer great suggestions for restaurants, etc. We loved every minute of our stay here, and hope to return.

Everything was great

The village Golferenzo is in a region which has not fully been discovered by tourists yet. This leads to a genuine Italian experience. Borgo dei Gatti is the perfect match for this Italian experience. The hostess is warm and kind, the general ambiance of the apartments is lovely and authentic. Breakfast was perfect, with a large variety of choices and more than enough food for the entire family (including big eaters). The hostess was generous with everything we wanted, ranging from coffee capsules/pods for the coffee machine to advise on which city to visit. The infinity pool looks out over the beautiful Italian landscape, the perfect place to relax. In short: we had a perfect holiday experience and we would recommend this location to everyone!

Borgo dei Gatti in Golferenzo is a magical place to relax and to experience all the joys of the Italian countryside along with a lovely spa. There is a cat who welcomed us and visited each morning and evening. Paola, the hostess, is a gem of a soul— so thoughtful and sweet and charming! The daily breakfast in a basket is a feast! The pool has a lovely view. The various places to eat are splendid. It is a quiet, relaxing and rejuvenating experience to stay there. It’s location is off the beaten track, yet just 1/2 from the train station, where they picked us up. As an American, I loved every charming detail— all very reasonably priced for an absolutely splendid experience! I would give it 20 stars or more!

The host Paola is great!! She is really kind and helpful! The village is so beautiful in the middle of nowhere. The swimming pool and SPA are very nice and clean. Also the two restaurants and the cocktail bar in the village are highly recommended! The apartment was clean and the breakfast was delicious: every morning with warm bread, fresh eggs and some cake!

The only thing we can think of is that the furniture outside was not really comfortable. Further, we would recommend to book within the weekend when the restaurants and bars are open. On Monday most of the restaurants were closed.

Elegant, calm accommodation with indulgent and generous breakfast basket. Tranquil and peaceful spa with brilliant facilities and views. Accommodating and welcoming management and staff. A great base for our three day wine tour through the region.

We liked everything - All delightful, including the friendly workmen building the Albergo’s new kitchen gardens.

Beautiful home ,very authentic .lovely bedroom .Basket breakfast very thoughtful ,especially catering for coeliacs .

This place is magical. So much amazing details at the same time you have everything you need for a perfect stay. Located in village in the country with picturesque scenes there and on the way there. Convenient parking. All apartaments are located on different sports but 1 min away from each other. Breakfast is served in the room-all homemade style with amazing taste. In the room there is kitchen with cooking accessories, coffee machine. Restaurant in the village is 100 out of 10 :) the feeling is like being your grandma guest. Worth every minute spent here. Paula thank you for the great hospitality.

Breakfast, location, hospitality, all excellent! I am from the area but decided to stay in the "hotel" with my friends for a spa weekend! It's a great escape with spa, hotel, and restaurant all within walking distance. Away from the hustle & bustle of city life.

The most beautiful hotel/villa we have ever stayed in. Our villa was gorgeous, massive and full of beautiful italian antiques, the pool was perfect and very clean, the baskets brought every morning for breakfast were delicious and often had enough left over for lunch. Every little detail of the stay was absolutely perfect - Golferenzo is the most beautiful village, and the staff, especially Paola and Arianna, were so kind and attentive to every possible thing we needed or wanted. The hotel’s restaurant, Corte de Lupe, was delicious and so aesthetically pleasing, just like the rest of the hotel. It’s the perfect place to go and reset/relax, because it’s so peaceful and quiet in the village. We will be back next year - we felt heart-broken to be leaving!

Nothing at all. Would recommend hiring a car though, as Golferenzo is at the top of a hill with no shops apart from the hotel one, so trips to supermarkets and other villages may be necessary.

Nice house among vineyard hills. House was cozy and comfortable with shared garden with 2 other houses. Amazing pool with a view. Breakfast BIO, fresh and delicious, delivered to your house.

We are used to have breakfast early, then going out for a trip , so waiting for the breakfast basket around 08.30- 09.00 was not the best option for us. Kitchen was missing a couple of basic things, like cutting board for example

Fantastic setting. Beautifully restored properties respecting the surrounding neighbourhood. Excellent breakfast.

Building work in adjacent property.

Spacious house, amazing breakfast, beautiful location

What an exceptional experience. The location, the view, the facilities, and the staff were something out of a movie. I wish we could have stayed longer and used the spa. The daily delivery of a basket full of wonderful foods was such a treat. The hostess, Paola, was receptive, easy to talk to, and extremely caring. I wish this location was closer so that I could come more often.

Nothing. It was a memorable experience.

I have not experienced so much peace and quiet as in Borgo Dei Gatti. The staff was awesome and always willing to help you. The pool was fantastic and the view is indescribable and you enjoyed every minute looking at it. Every morning a basque basket comes with a different breakfast which was awesome and all from the region. Thank you and look forward to coming back in the future.

Everything !... I would like to keep the location a,secret but the owner needs to be recognised for achieving his dream in renovating the properties of the village where he once lived..the restaurant and facilities are of a very high standard ..it is a dream location and we have reserved dates for our second stay before we left .I should add Paola was the perfect host too.

100% perfect...we are,100% electric carwise and if there had been 2 charger locations I guess ? it would be 200% fabulous ..this isn't a criticism just a wish ..

Paola was a very kind and welcoming host. We got an upgrade to the villa because of construction works near our original unit. The last night we spent in the original unit, so we can compare! Both accommodation units are very nice, decoration is very stylish with attention to detail. Beds were great. The villa is larger and boasts a wonderful view of the swimming pool and the valley below. Breakfast was nice and plentiful, with both sweet and savoury options. There are two nice restaurants in the village and also a place to go for a drink with a view. We were there with a 1 year old and would recommend the villa in that case, because of the extra bedroom and the beautiful terrace, and also because the other units have a stair and no doors blocking the access to the stairs so you have to keep an eye on the little one :-) I also went to the spa, which has beautiful views all around and has everything you can ask for.

Very clean and attractive inside and out. Great location in a well cared-for hilltop Borgo. Breakfast excellent and beautifully presented. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was brought to the room in a basket and it was copious; varied and healthy with great feeling for local food. It was a pleasure to see the basket every single morning. Lovely white wine to welcome us to the house and a wonderful pool with a view!

We could have done with a kettle for boiling water for tea and perhaps a microwave oven but we made do with what was there and had no trouble improvising a little bit.

Wonderful! A beautiful home in an atmospheric restored hill village with access to a fantastic pool.

Nothing!

Paola has been a great host, showing us around in the apartment and sharing about the history and sights to see in Golferenzo. She also helped us reserve a table at one of the restaurants she recommended. Breakfast was superb and well thought out.
