"BorgoCollection gave us something we didn't know how to ask for — an Italy that actually feels like ours."
James & Catherine M. · New York
Who We Are
A circle defined
by values,
not just means.
BorgoCollection owners come from different countries, different professions, different lives. What they share is more specific: a genuine love for Italy that goes beyond tourism, a preference for depth over novelty, and a belief that the finest things are worth preserving.
The selection process for new owners is intentional. Financial qualification is one part of it. Values alignment is equally important. We look for individuals who understand that co-ownership carries both privilege and responsibility.
The Collector
Drawn to objects, places and experiences of lasting quality. Sees heritage property as the natural extension of a considered life.
The Global Family
Seeking a permanent anchor in Europe for multi generational gatherings. Values a place that grows more meaningful with each
visit.
The Understated Investor
Allocates capital with patience and precision. Appreciates the
resilience of prime Italian real estate alongside the lifestyle return.
The Italophile
Has visited Italy for decades and finally wants to stop being a guest. Fluent in the culture, ready for the permanence of
ownership.
"We've owned property in France and Portugal. Nothing has come close to the experience BorgoCollection provides. The villa feels genuinely ours — not in a transactional way, but in the way that matters. Our children have started calling it 'the house in Tuscany' as though it has always existed in our lives. It has only been two years."

Owners since 2024. Two annual stays, spring and autumn. Three-generation family with a focus on cultural immersion and long-term stewardship of the estate.
What Our Owners Say
Sophie R.
London, United Kingdom
The moment you stop arriving as a visitor and start arriving as an owner is difficult to describe. The staff knows your name before you land. The wine you mentioned last October is in the cellar. Your grandmother's recipe has been noted and is ready for Sunday. This is not hospitality — it is something more intimate than that.
Marcus K.
Zürich, Switzerland
I evaluated four co-ownership models before choosing Borgo. The legal structure here is the most rigorous I encountered. My lawyers were impressed. But in the end, it was the people — Eleonora's clarity and the quality of my co-owners — that decided it.
Helena N.
Stockholm, Sweden
The concierge service is unlike anything I have experienced. Not intrusive — I barely see them — but everything is always exactly right. The flowers are fresh. The temperature is set. The itinerary I mentioned in passing six months ago has been quietly arranged.
Anne & Pierre L.
Paris, France
We spent three summers at the masseria before our children could reliably identify every olive tree in the grove. That kind of knowledge only comes from ownership. Borgo made that possible for us.

My co-owners have become friends. We've never conflicted over the calendar, the property, or anything else. The governance structure removes ambiguity before it can become tension. That was the biggest surprise.
Roberto & Lucia B.
Milan, Italy
We are Italian and we know these villas. What BorgoCollection has done with the restoration of Borgo San Martino is extraordinary — every original element preserved, but the comfort is completely contemporary. It is a very difficult balance to achieve.

In Their Own Words
Thomas H.

"I am a lawyer. I read every clause in the ownership agreement twice. It is one of the most carefully constructed documents I have seen in a real estate transaction. That rigour extends to everything BorgoCollection does."
What impressed me most was the transparency — the independent annual valuation, the quarterly financial reporting, the governance framework. This is real ownership, not a lifestyle product with legal dressing.

"The first time we arrived at the masseria, the local baker had been told our daughters' names. There was a small drawing left on their pillows by the previous housekeeper — just a sprig of lavender and a welcome note in careful Italian. My eldest still has it."
These are the details that no hotel can replicate because they require continuity, memory, and genuine care. BorgoCollection has built a system that produces this kind of moment consistently, invisibly, across every stay.

"We were sceptical about co-ownership. The concept seemed logistically complicated. In practice, we have never once thought about the other owners — not because they don't exist, but because the structure removes any reason to. The calendar is clear, the property is always perfectly maintained, and the management handles everything."
What we didn’t anticipate was the community itself. We have had dinner with two of our co-owners at other times in other cities. They have become part of our lives in a way that has nothing to do with the property.

What comes with
belonging to the
Borgo Circle.
Owning a residence in the BorgoCollection grants access to more than a property. It opens a network of experiences, partnerships, and relationships designed for those who value depth over novelty.
Private Cultural Events
After-hours access to museums, private gallery openings, artisan ateliers, and estates not open to the public — curated for the circle throughout the year.
Priority Access to New Properties
Existing owners are offered first right of access to new residences as they enter the collection, before any external presentation.
The Borgo Network
Introductions to fellow owners — architects, collectors, winemakers, cultural figures — who share an appreciation for the same things you do.
Seasonal Owner Gatherings
Intimate events across the collection — harvest weekends, cultural evenings, private dinners — for owners and their families to share Italy together.
