Food and drink in Tuscany: tasting the good life around Borgo Vista Serena

Food and drink in Tuscany is all about simplicity, flavor, local products, and quiet enjoyment.

Those staying at Borgo Vista Serena discover Tuscany not just with their eyes, but also through taste. It is precisely through food and drink that you feel how relaxed Italian life can be.

No rush, no tight schedule, no mandatory hotel rhythm. You choose whether to go out for dinner, prepare something simple in your apartment, or enjoy local products on your own terrace.

Our tip: don't plan a restaurant for every evening during your stay. A simple meal on your own terrace can become one of the most beautiful moments of your holiday.

1. Food as part of your holiday

In Tuscany, eating is not a rushed moment in between activities. It is part of the day. A lunch can take its time. A glass of wine doesn't need to be finished quickly. And a simple meal can be special because the ingredients are so good.

That fits perfectly with the atmosphere of Borgo Vista Serena. You have your own apartment, your own kitchen, and your own terrace. This allows you to decide exactly what your holiday looks like.

  • Ideal for: guests who love freedom and local flavors
  • Atmosphere: relaxed, pure, and personal
  • Perfect for: long lunches, simple dinners, and evenings on the terrace

2. Start the day slowly

A Tuscan day often begins simply. Coffee, a small bite, and a view. No crowded breakfast room, no buffet where everyone arrives at once, but a quiet start at your own pace.

At Borgo Vista Serena, you can start your morning slowly. Brew some coffee, open the door to the outside, and take your time. It sounds like a small thing, but these are exactly the moments that make a holiday relaxing.

3. Tasting local products

One of the best things about a holiday in Tuscany is how easily you can discover local products. Think of bread, cheese, olive oil, tomatoes, fruit, cold meats, fresh pasta, and of course, wine.

You don't have to make it complicated. Sometimes a simple meal on your own terrace is just as beautiful as a dinner in a restaurant. Especially when you have a view, evening slowly falls, and you don't have a single obligation.

4. Lunching in the area

A lunch in Tuscany is often more than just food. It is a moment to stop. You sit in a square, on a small street, or somewhere with a view. You order something simple, have a drink, and let the surroundings sink in.

From Borgo Vista Serena, you can visit various villages and towns where you can enjoy a lovely lunch. Think of Arezzo, Poppi, Bibbiena, Cortona, or smaller spots in the area.

5. Wine, olive oil, and simplicity

Tuscany is naturally connected with wine and olive oil. But the beauty is that it doesn't always have to be grand or luxurious here. A glass of wine at sunset, a piece of bread with good olive oil, some cheese or antipasti: sometimes that's all you need.

This fits perfectly at Borgo Vista Serena. The tranquility of the location makes simple moments truly special.

6. Eating out or cooking yourself?

A holiday apartment gives you freedom. You can eat out whenever you want, but you aren't dependent on it. This is especially nice if you don't feel like going out for a day.

After a day trip to Arezzo, Cortona, or Siena, it's lovely to come back, prepare something easy, and end the evening quietly on your terrace.

7. Evenings at Borgo Vista Serena

The evenings at Borgo Vista Serena are perhaps one of the most beautiful moments of the day. The heat slowly fades, the light softens, and the surroundings become still.

A drink, a snack, and a view over the landscape. That isn't complicated luxury, but exactly the kind of peace many guests are looking for.
