Chiusdino, Italy (2/2011) -- As Tuscany awakens to the beauty of spring, the 11-room Borgo Santo Pietro www.borgosantopietro.com), nestled within the Tuscan hills of Valle Serena, will roll out the green carpet and welcome guests back for the 2011 season on March 31.  For those who want to delight in the off-season luxuries of Tuscany, the hotel will offer a special "Pay for 2 and Stay 3" package from March 31 - April 30, 2011.

Located 35 minutes from Siena, 40 minutes from Volterra (made famous in the movie Twilight) and an hour from Florence, this enchanting Borgo (hamlet) features eight rooms in the main house, three garden cottages, a Spa set in an 800-year-old bakery, an affinity pool, an outdoor cabana style bar and 13 acres of ornamental gardens sectioned into a flower, rose, fountain, lemon, vegetable and herb garden.

An enchanting world unto itself, guests who visit the Borgo can sign up for daily cooking classes, partake in wine tasting sessions with the hotel's sommelier, play Bocci Ball or hike or bike to the nearby ruins of San Galgano Abbey.  Nearby, small wineries abound and guests can enjoy the quaint hilltop village of Chiusdino.

Originally built in 1218 to accommodate early settlers traveling to Rome,  Borgo Santo Pietro provided food and shelter and a nearby church (Ecclesia di Santo Pietro) for these early pilgrims.  Jeanette and Claus Thottrup purchased the property in 2001 and after a meticulous seven year renovation opened the 11-room Borgo and its Gardens in 2008.
