The Setting & Location

Nestled among the rolling hills of the Montagnola Senese in the municipality of Monteriggioni, Borgo Fungaia is an enchanting medieval hamlet dating back to the 13th century. Originally founded as a rural parish, rectory, and agricultural outpost under the sphere of the Republic of Siena, this fortified retreat enjoys an idyllic setting framed by holm oaks, olive groves, and dry-stone walls near the ancient path of the Via Francigena. The arrival at the hamlet is an experience in itself, approached via a scenic, private unpaved country road (strada bianca) of about 10 minutes that winds through pristine Tuscan nature, offering absolute tranquility and complete seclusion.

The Renovation Project

Borgo Fungaia is the centerpiece of a prestigious conservative restoration that breathes new life into the estate while reverently preserving its historical fabric. The project encompasses 27 exclusive residences reflecting the authentic, layered architecture of the hamlet: alongside classic exposed stone façades, select buildings feature warm traditional plastered exteriors, all enriched by numerous arched windows and graceful architectural arches throughout the homes. A unique hallmark of the estate’s heritage, precious original frescoes will be meticulously preserved and restored within select residences. Each home is designed with privacy in mind, featuring an independent private entrance and private garden wherever the historic structure allows, alongside charming shared internal stone courtyards and an elegant 7×14-meter swimming pool seamlessly set into the surrounding landscape.
