Notes to Editor  

Borgo Pignano Florence is owned by Sir Michael Moritz KBE and his wife, creators of the award-winning Borgo Pignano, a luxury eco-conscious retreat set on a 750-acre estate in the heart of Tuscany near Volterra suffused with art and books reflecting the owners' tastes. The original Borgo Pignano is a meticulously restored 12th-century hamlet that exemplifies sustainable luxury, holding a Michelin Green Star for its commitment to environmental practices. The estate produces its own organic wine, beer, gin olive oil, honey and grains, and offers guests a curated selection of nature-based activities including horse riding, painting classes, yoga, hiking trails and truffle hunting. Borgo Pignano Florence is Sir Michael Moritz's second hotel. 

The choice of the name Borgo Pignano Florence is a deliberate nod to the estate's sister property and its defining characteristics. Like the original hamlet in Tuscany, Borgo Pignano Florence is composed of 11 historic buildings set in twelve acres – remarkable for a city location –offering a similarly intimate experience. The term borgo traditionally refers to a village that developed just beyond the walls of a main city, and this new property reflects that legacy: a refined enclave on the edge of Florence's urban heart.
