For those wishing to include a trip to this fascinating place on their next Tuscan vacation, why not book into a charming holiday villa in Pomaia village where they can be right beside it.
Borgo San Carlo is the ideal destination for anyone looking to experience an unforgettable holiday in the relaxed atmosphere.
The architectural quality and style of its apartments and the tasteful furnishings and fixtures according to the country style of the tuscan tradition and perfectly respectful of the atmosphere of the place. Its geographical position, only 15km from the sea and very close to all the most important cities of art in Tuscany, is enriched by a natural environment lavish with green countryside and charming views.
Entirely rebuilt over the ruins of an old factory used to manufacture alabaster, just a few kilometres away there is the important Buddhist monastery of Lama Tzong Khapa, a place of pilgrimage for illustrious tourists from all over the world.
The construction work has been done not only respecting the environment with a preference made for natural materials and ecologically compatible techniques: the philosophy of a complete permeation of the Residence with nature – the proof of which stands in the fact that the entire complex is totally immersed in the lush green countryside – also confirmed by a system of solar panels which is used for the hot water supply.
