Checking in here can be confusing depending on when you arrive and whether anyone is in the office. Their is no checkin location so you kind if feel your way around to find who can help. Once led to our room we got settled and explored around the grounds. The common areas are very warm and welcoming. Plenty of time to meet other guest who are visiting from everywhere on the planet. All with great stories and time to share what you learned. The friendly staff from those making breakfast to cleaning the room are great. Enjoyed meeting and talking to them. Only negative is the poor internet. It only worked in the common area. Really no reason they could not improve this. After all, I wanted to tell the world where we were.

As a…read moretourist, it felt like a really authentic Italian experience with true tuscan cuisine (as seen as we were surrounded by locals). First, the staff was so incredibly helpful, kind and attentive which is always great to find!! The burrata and pepper starter was absolutely delicious and packed full of tomato flavor. Free bruschetta was also provided during the meal and it was one of the best i've had, more finely chopped than most bruschettas! The gnocchi was cooked perfectly and the lasagna was pretty solid as well. I also highly recommend the pistachio dessert! It's not just gelato as it has a gooey warm center and a cookie base but it was even better than expected. I love this place and would go back in a heart beat!

Happy to say this place is still just as amazing as I remember it almost 10 years ago!…read more A couple of girlfriends and I discovered Pensavo Peggio during our first trip to Italy in 2017, and it quickly became one of the reasons Florence became one of my favorite cities. Back then, I ordered the Osso Buco, Lasagna, and Tiramisu--and I still remembered how incredible everything was. So, of course, when I returned nearly 10 years later, I had to order the same meals... and yes, I said meals! Fabrizio, the same server who took care of me in 2017, asked, "Are you sure you want two dinners?" I told him, "Yes! I want to try them both." Fast-forward to 2026: I walked back in two days ago, reminded Fabrizio of our conversation, and told him I was ordering both again. He immediately started laughing. Some things never change! My boyfriend ordered the pappardelle and instantly fell in love with it. We also shared a delicious cheese and meat platter and, of course, finished with Tiramisu. Nearly 10 years later, Pensavo Peggio still holds a special place in my heart. Highly recommend this cute little spot! It just goes to show that sometimes the best memories--and the best meals--are found when you venture off the beaten path. Some places are simply worth coming back to.

For many of them, this was the first time they met my American husband. We were seated at a long table outdoors, surrounded by green vines in the luscious garden of the villa. So why were we nervous? Because this was the night we announced our engagement, and we had chosen Villa Borromeo to have our (small) party. By European standards we were young to get engaged, though we had agreed to wait several years. I remember little of our dinner that night, but I will always remember our beautiful surroundings as we told our family that we were getting married. Four years later we returned to Villa Borromeo, this time with about fifty friends and family members, to celebrate my birthday and to welcome everyone as they arrived in Italy for our wedding. The villa opened up their rarely seen upstairs room for champagne, and we talked and laughed as I opened my presents and simply enjoyed having everyone together again in one place. After the drinks, we went downstairs into their beautiful cellar restaurant where they had set up large tables for our six course meal. And my god, the food kept coming: Crostini with porcini-truffle spread and chicken liver spread, delicate meats and cheeses, large plates of fresh pasta, meats, ice cream, fruits. A true feast that went down easily with a rich selection of velvety Chianti wines. We could barely finish all the food, it was wonderful. Everyone went home filled to the brim with fine Tuscan foods and wine (no drunk driving, my father had arranged a bus). Villa Borromea was a generous host that made both our special events absolutely perfect. We couldn't have chosen a better location to announce our engagement, celebrate my birthday, and welcome our guests before our wedding. A big thank you to all the amazing staff!
