Borgo d’Assio is perched on the slopes of a lush green hill, offering splendid views of the surrounding mountains, the Santa Susanna canal, and the Lungo and Ripa Sottile lakes.
In the 19th century, this hamlet was home to the farmers of Prince Spada Potenziani’s agricultural estate, who worked the surrounding countryside—the very land where our “Rosea” farm stands today.
Here, you won’t simply be guests; you will experience the authentic atmosphere of an ancient village, becoming one of its inhabitants.
Borgo d’Assio is surrounded by a flourishing farm that produces vegetables, wheat, corn, and hay.
Our biodynamic vegetable garden supplies the Borgo’s restaurants, while other crops are dedicated to animal feed. Finally, our olive grove ensures the production of precious extra virgin olive oil, which we use daily in our culinary offerings.
Just a short walk from the Borgo lie the remains of a Roman villa dating back to the 1st century BC, which once belonged to Consul Quintus Axius.
In ancient Rome, this was a luxurious thermal villa; today, visitors can still explore its impressive perimeter walls and, above all, an intriguing underground system of tunnels and waterworks.
You won’t simply be guests; you will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of an ancient village, becoming a part of its community.
