About Borgo Sant'Ambrogio Resort
The history of Borgo Sant’Ambrogio traces its roots back to the 17th century, which is when the oldest part of the structure was built.
During the 18th century, Sant’Ambrogio became a convent for nuns dedicated to the saint of the same name, whose portrait is still preserved in the structure. In 1971, the property, was acquired by the Apollonj Ghetti family, who, along with their six children, chose Sant’Ambrogio as a place to enjoy the richness of the Tuscan countryside. Even today, thanks to renovation and improvement projects, the family decided in 2015 to open it as a hospitality business, allowing guests to enjoy the beauty of this corner of paradise.
Behind The Brand
What was the initial spark for the property and how did it all begin?
The inspiration behind our ancient resort in Tuscany stems from a deep appreciation for the region’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. Originally built in the 17th century, our resort’s foundation reflects a time-honored craftsmanship that has been lovingly preserved through the years. The vision to transform this historic property into a haven for travelers was sparked by a desire to offer an authentic Tuscan experience.
As we look back on the resort’s journey, its transformation into a welcoming retreat began when it was acquired by Ranieri and Maria Teresa Apollonj Ghetti in 1971. Their passion for Tuscany’s rich cultural heritage and serene landscapes fuelled the vision to share this hidden gem with others.
Today, our mission is to provide a sanctuary where guests can immerse themselves in the timeless charm of Tuscany.
