This Michelin starred farm hotel and restaurant in Tuscany was a thirteenth century healing refuge for pilgrims. Today you can stay there and eat cheese, meat, and honey all produced on-site. And the spa uses skincare made from herbs grown just a 100 feet away. This is Borgo Santopietro in Tuscany, Italy, and it's raising the bar on farm to table luxury. In 2001, it was an abandoned 800 year old ruin. A Danish couple, Jeanette and Klaus Thautrup, bought it and spent seven years restoring it stone by stone with Italian artisans. They planted 300,000 plants, created 13 acres of landscaped gardens, and opened in 2008 with just six rooms. Today, it's 22 individually designed suites on a 300 acre working organic farm. And it's a fully functioning farm ecosystem. Over 300 sheep provide fresh milk every morning for the on-site artisanal dairy. That milk becomes handmade sheep's milk cheeses and yogurt served at breakfast. Free roaming pigs eat acorns in rank woods. Their meat becomes house made prosciutto and salumi. Italian honey better produce raw millefury honey used at breakfast and in spa products. A six acre herb garden grows lavender, rosemary, calendula, juniper, mint, lemon balm. These herbs go into Borgo's on-site laboratory where they're turned into the best seed to skin 100% natural skin care line. You can tour the herb fields with better gardeners and watch how plant oils are extracted in the lab. The spa was named Worse Best Romantic Spa 2025 by the Times and World's Best Country House Hotel Spa in 2024. All treatments yes seed to skin products made from the Best herbs. And the experience doesn't end there. The flagship restaurant, Zipporium, earned a Michelin tier for farm to plate gastronomy. Every dish uses ingredients grown, raised, or foraged on-site. The estate earned three Michelin Keys in 2025 for extraordinary stay. This is luxury where you don't just taste the land. You participate in and experience its entire cycle.
