Borgo Colleoli Resort

We have just returned from 4 Nights Preview Complimentary Stay at Borgo di Colleoli with the Karma Group. What a wonderful memory! Superb Resort, luxurious rooms and facilities. The beds were so comfortable, decor all new, beamed ceilings and with a kitchen in the lounge it was great for self catering, although the restaurant served delicious food, the breakfast was a complete feast. They thought of everything at Borgo: hairdryer, kettle, coffee & tea, private terrace & patios, 2 beautiful pools and vast grounds with amazing views over the rolling Tuscany hills. They organized delivery of car hire so we had great days out into Florence, San Giminano, Sienna and wine tasting on a Chanti vineyard. The Karma rep was lovely, no hard sell but great information regarding all the worldwide Karma Hotels and discounts through a membership. It's a fabulous package so we shall be taking the offer. Our next trip will be to their Bavaria Hotel & Spain. If they are anything like the standard and uniqueness of their Italy Resort we can't wait! Definitely delighted we tried this!

We just stayed for 4 nights at this hotel and it was absolutely beautiful. Reception on arrival at 9pm on a Friday were very welcoming and we managed to squeeze in a quick pizza across the road before they closed which was lovely. We had a 1 bedroom apartment which was huge, comfy and very clean. Our view across the courtyard was lovely in the mornings and our bed was big and comfy. Manuel from Karma was so friendly and great to chat to. We used the bottom swimming pool one day and that was nice. You definitely need a car to visit the local towns and cities. The cafe in local Palaia serves a nice coffee and pastry/sandwich. We would 100% stay at this hotel again, my only comment was I felt the food was overpriced on site, breakfast was 18 euro per person for an ok looking continental buffet, because of this we only had coffee and would then head out somewhere local for food. Such a shame as the courtyard is a beautiful setting. The breakfast location also then apparently serves lunch and snacks but it was quiet and there are no menus on display so again we weren’t tempted. For dinner we preferred the more relaxed restaurants locally or in the towns. This would absolutely not stop us staying here again but I think the food offering could be broadened.

April 2024 Karma Borgo di Colleoli Colleoli is an oasis of detente and relaxation with flowers, blue sky, birds singing, beautiful sunset.... Just the perfect environnement to renew yourself. Out of city trafic, you may need a car if you want to visit Tuscany cities and beauties. Everyone from the reception to the breakfast with Rita and Sabrina to the Italien dinner are there to satisfy your needs. Well most of your needs. Karma Italy is young and I am sure that many things will improve in a close future. Anyways, I spend 2 perfect weeks meeting people on the premise.

Whole property gives you feeling of Royal Richness. On the hill with views of vineyard, Olive farms , our unit was not big but enough to accommodate us. Kitchen was well stocked. Nice view from windows but We missed balcony. Maintenance staff helped me for discharged car battery,it was really great. Breakfast was ok. We had a wine and cheese party from resort. We visited Pisa, Florence and Sea Cliff with Great sinery. Most important things was eating PIZZAS in nearby village in local shop, we had never had that quality with cheaper price in my life 😀 Enjoyed Italian wine also.

This is a very tardy review of our stay at Borgo di Colleoli. We spent a week there in May 2023 and can't wait to go back. This historic estate has several buildings and you can feel the history as you walk through them and on the grounds. The resort is well appointed and easy to get to; about an hour from Florence or Pisa and right in the middle of Tuscany. You are surrounded by beauty and every view is stunning. The staff are amazing! Not only did they help organise a car and driver to pick us up at the Pontedera Train Station and deliver us to the resort, they also helped us rent a car. The car was delivered to the resort and we then returned it to the rental lot in Pisa when we flew out. Jacopo and Jakob at reception deserve a special thanks as they were extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. These two gentleman were wonderful, helping organise everything from our rental car, to reservations at area restaurants and wineries and suggestions on villages to explore. Every request was met with a smile and it was such a lovely treat to get to know these two young men and learn a little about them and their home. In the months prior to our visit, we peppered them with questions and they were quick to get back to us with answers and suggestions. Dennis, the Karma rep, was a friendly chap and we appreciated that he wasn't pushy. We have encountered other reps who could learn by his example. Dennis organised an evening of cocktails and nibbles for Karma owners in the library and we enjoyed chatting with everyone. It was a nice change of pace and made us feel very welcome. We had an amazing two room apartment on the upper floor in the main building. This building also housed the library and the main restaurant. Everything was well appointed and we were very comfortable. The library was a great place to relax and we enjoyed an evening there playing records, drinking wine and getting to know other guests. The bed in our room was great and we slept like babies. Our apartment also had a nice sitting area in the main room and in the bedroom, both which we utilised on quiet nights in. As this was a historic building there were some quirks but nothing worse than the room phone not working. If we needed something, we either called reception using WhatApp or walked down to the office. We had a refrigerator which was handy after stopping by a local market for some nibbles and drinks. Our room also had both a shower and a large spa which was great for soaking in after our long daily walks. There was a coin operated washing machine and dryer available for guests to use on site. As we were traveling for a few weeks, we were grateful to have these available. There are two pools on site, however, we didn't use these. They looked nice and other guests seem to enjoy them. Breakfast was included with our stay and it was plentiful and quite enjoyable. There was a blueberry tart at breakfast that I still think about and wish I had asked for the recipe! It was that

My experience at Karma Borgo di Colleoli was truly unforgettable. Located just a short 30-minute drive from Pisa and an hour from Florence, the resort's prime location made it easy to explore some of Tuscany's most iconic destinations. Upon arrival, I was struck by the resort's stunning sunset views. The warm colors of the sky complemented the lush greenery and rolling hills that surrounded the property, making for an idyllic and peaceful setting. The resort itself was a joy to stay at. Our apparement is very cozy. Swimming pool wasn’t open yet (1st week of April). After a long day visiting, the library music room makes everyone to relax and unwind. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional service provided by the staff. From check-in to check-out, every staff member we encountered was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Overall, I would highly recommend Karma Borgo di Colleoli to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in the heart of Tuscany. The resort's location, amenities, and exceptional service make it the perfect place for a family vacation or romantic getaway.

We visited Karma Borgo Di Colleoli for my wifes 60th birthday. From the moment we got there we were welcomed. the resort itself is beautiful, an old Olive oil factory that has been converted. The views are amazing and the ambience is so relaxing. Dennis, the Karma rep was very helpful with information on the local area, how to get around, restaurants etc. the reception staff were very helpful, arranging a suprise birthday meal in our own section of the restaurant, and even, despite the weather, managing to arrange a truffle hunt experience for my partners birthday. This was as well as all the other trips they arranged. A big thank you to all the reception team. we must also say thank you to the other Dennis in I Secoli who makes the best coffee in the morning, and also for acting as translator on the truffle hunt. the rooms in the Karma building were beautiful, and the decor matched the style of the building. the library is a very relaxing part. Karma are apparently looking to renovate this building soon, so any minor flaws should be rectified the 2 pool areas are very clean, it looks like the liners have been recently replace so going for a swim was a pleasure (despite the water being a bit chilly) I would definitely recommend a car for getting around as it is well nestled in the Tuscan Hills, but the 25 minute walk into Palaia is no real hardship and there are buses from there to Pontedera if you want to get a bit further without the hassle of driving. I Secoli is nice as a restaurant, however i do think the menu could do with bringing up a notch. not so much in the quality, but in the variation of food. If you do get bored with the menu i recommend I Tigli just next to reception. A family run restaurant with a huge smile for a welcome

This resort is lovely. Beautiful views of the countryside, has 2 swimming poles. The reception staff is very friendly and helpful. Our Maps on our phone took us to the middle of nowhere when we first arrived, called the resort and they gladly guided us to the place. Breakfast was wonderful and so was dinner here at the property. Rooms were a great size. We stayed in RM23 which had a beautiful balcony. Do be prepared to walk to and from your parked car across the street [the resorts parking area]. Overall it was a wonderful stay!

Great location - terrible service. No attention to customers and when asking for timings, we were given a time which was wholly inappropriate. Completely uninterested in being attentive and only interested in talking amongst themselves.
