Borgo Vista Serena is a small-scale accommodation in Tuscany for guests seeking peace, nature, a swimming pool, a private terrace, and views over the Tuscan landscape.
You won't be staying at a large holiday park here, but in a quiet borgo in Serraglio, near Castel Focognano in the province of Arezzo. Danielle and Martijn will welcome you personally and ensure a relaxing stay with attention, simplicity, and the authentic Tuscan outdoor life.

Those looking for small-scale accommodation in Tuscany with a pool, views, and peace are often looking for more than just a place to sleep. You want space, atmosphere, nature, privacy, and the feeling of truly being away from it all. That is exactly the foundation of Borgo Vista Serena.
Our borgo is located in Serraglio, a small hamlet in the municipality of Castel Focognano. From the terraces, you look out over the Tuscan landscape, while still staying close to villages, restaurants, markets, hiking trails, and beautiful cities in the province of Arezzo.
From Borgo Vista Serena, you can easily discover the province of Arezzo and the green heart of Tuscany. More general information about the region can be found at Visit Tuscany.
Borgo Vista Serena is all about the kind of holiday many people look for: waking up to a view, having breakfast on your own terrace, swimming in the afternoon sun, hiking directly from the borgo, and ending the evening with a glass of wine.
You don't have to be out and about all day here. The accommodation itself is part of your holiday. The silence, the stone houses, the pool, the terraces, and the views ensure you can truly slow down. This is precisely why our small-scale accommodation in Tuscany feels more personal than a large holiday park or mass resort.
For us, Borgo Vista Serena is not just any holiday accommodation in Tuscany. It is the result of a conscious choice for peace, space, and a different rhythm. A place where we found the peace that we felt less and less in the Netherlands.
Danielle worked for many years with great commitment in healthcare and was always there for others. She now brings that attention to people as the hostess of Borgo Vista Serena. Martijn is involved in the development, communication, and experience of the borgo.
Together, we are building a small-scale accommodation in Tuscany where guests feel welcome without it becoming formal or distant. Personal hospitality, clear information, a relaxed atmosphere, and a love for Tuscany form the foundation.
“The peace we found here, we want to give to our guests as well. Not as a luxury extra, but as the core of the stay.”
Many guests look for an apartment in Tuscany where they can stay independently, yet still experience the atmosphere and personal attention of a small-scale accommodation. That is exactly what we want to offer.
You have your own apartment, your own terrace, and the freedom to experience the day at your own pace. At the same time, Danielle is present on-site as your hostess, and we are happy to share our tips for restaurants, walks, villages, markets, and day trips.
You don't have to check everything off here. You can also just sit still, listen to the silence, look at the hills, and enjoy that exact moment.
Tuscany has many holiday homes, apartments, and agriturismos. Borgo Vista Serena distinguishes itself as a small-scale accommodation in Tuscany through the combination of private outdoor space, pool, views, nature, and personal hospitality.
You stay in Serraglio, an existing hamlet near Castel Focognano. Not a purpose-built resort, but a place with character, elevation changes, stone houses, old paths, and the daily Tuscan landscape all around you.
For guests seeking small-scale accommodation in Tuscany with peace and privacy, this specific combination is important: you have the freedom of your own apartment, but also the atmosphere and attention of a personal place.
When Borgo Vista Serena crossed our path, we immediately felt that this place had everything: peace, nature, views, character, and the opportunity to welcome guests personally.
The location near Castel Focognano is ideal for us. You are quietly nestled in the hills, but not cut off from Tuscan life. Villages, cities, restaurants, markets, hiking trails, and cycling routes are all within reach.
This makes Borgo Vista Serena suitable for guests who want to relax, but also want to discover Tuscany. A day by the pool can be just as natural here as a visit to Arezzo, a walk through nature, or an evening meal at a local restaurant.
Many people aren't looking for an overcrowded schedule, but a quiet holiday in Tuscany where they can relax, live outdoors, and feel space again. At Borgo Vista Serena, it's not about crowds, entertainment, or mass appeal, but about slowing down.
Here, the morning is allowed to start slowly. With coffee on your terrace, views over the hills, and the silence of Tuscany around you. Then you choose for yourself: a walk, visiting a village, swimming, reading, cycling, or just staying put because it feels right.
A small-scale accommodation is determined not only by its location or apartments, but also by the way you are welcomed. Borgo Vista Serena is our joint project. Danielle is usually the familiar face on-site for guests.
Danielle is the hostess of Borgo Vista Serena. With her background in healthcare, her commitment, and her natural attention to people, she ensures that guests feel welcome and at ease.
She welcomes guests, helps with practical questions, and gives the stay the personal, warm atmosphere that suits a small-scale borgo in Tuscany.
Martijn is, like Danielle, involved in the development of Borgo Vista Serena. He contributes to the practical side, communication, experience, and the further growth of the borgo.
Together, we ensure that the stay not only feels beautiful, but is also clear, pleasant, and well-organized for guests.
The name tells you what to expect as a guest: a small-scale borgo, views over Tuscany, and a peaceful atmosphere in which you can slow down. That is also why the name fits our small-scale accommodation in Tuscany so well.
A small-scale place with stone houses, history, privacy, atmosphere, and hospitality. Not a mass accommodation, but an authentic Tuscan place.
The view is an integral part of the stay. From the borgo, you look out over the green landscape and the surrounding hills.
Serena represents the atmosphere we want to create: relaxed, clear, peaceful, and warm. A place where you feel space, both literally and figuratively.
