We we were there a bit ago, but loved the place. Off season so we had the place mostly to ourselves. Guisella and Fortunato were like family. The history of the place is amazing. Dream of it all the time. Going to go back soon I hope.

We were 7 Swedish families, in total 28 guys in the age of 6 to 50+, celebrating midsummer at Borgo Rapale. Our very high expectations were exceeded by far. Borgo Rapale is a fantastic place and the owners and hosts, Gisella and Fortunato, do everything to make your stay memorable and pleasant. We also catered some dinners and can really recommend Carlo and his team from Buscine providing excellent food and service. We will be back for sure.

My husband and I arrived here on the Monday and our friends joined us on the Wednesday for a week . The details in the advertising were what sold us on booking here and sometimes you think well if its only half as good then it will be OK. But it was exactly what was advertised . Friendly gracious owners Gisela and Fortunato could not have done more to make us feel at home. The first day we knocked on the kitchen door as bidden and Gisela welcomed us in and gave us fresh tomatoes from a local garden an onion garlic and herbs from her garden. Our first meal we cooked that night was a simple pasta dish with local wine cheese and bread. I couldn't have dreamed of a better introduction to the Chianti region.
A car is a must to stay here and see the many walled villages of the area. My most vivid memory is waking up and seeing the mist in the valleys below and just enjoying the sunrise in the cool quiet morning.
Bravo Gisela and Fortunato for saving this place for so many people to enjoy!

The owners are some of the most generous and sweet people you will ever meet, and the place is fantastic, old, beautiful, and very near nice hiking in an uncrowded setting. My mom and I loved it. In fact, our favorite day that we stayed in Tuscany was spent just at Borgo Rapale, hiking, reading, and enjoying the quiet.
