For the longest time travelling to Sant'Andrea in Percussina to explore and see the villa and tavern that Machiavelli spent his time in exile has been a dream of mine. This tour and wine tasting was purchased as a birthday present for me and it lived up to every single expectation.

Our day started with a nightmare, there was a general strike which meant the public transport we had planned to get was cancelled. We got the cab but we were running late for our tasting and private tour. We got in contact with Il Borgo Machiavelli who were nothing but understanding, helpful and reassuring.

Once we arrived, we were immediately escorted to our table in the gorgeous tavern. The staff listened attentively to our dietary and allergen concerns and repeatedly double checked they had everything right which was much appreciated.

We had never done a wine tasting before so were not sure what to expect but Julia, our guide, was absolutely incredible in her descriptions of the wine and what to look out for when tasting. We learnt an incredible amount and genuinely got to taste the best wine we had ever had.

The meal was unbelievable. We were met with an incredible platter of food which catered to the vegetarian and milk allergy needs of my partner. The food was of the highest quality and of our entire week in Tuscany, this meal was by the far the best of ant establishments we had been too.

For me, the highlight was the tour. I have read much of the work by Machiavelli including his letters he wrote when at this very location so I was incredibly excited to see the premises. Our guide Julia gave an incredibly in depth tour with details and facts that made the experience all the better. The tour is so in depth and you learn so much about what Machiavelli’s life here must have been like. Whether you know a lot about Machiavelli already or nothing at all, I think there is something for all to appreciate about walking in the footsteps which inspired on of the first ever political scientists.

Once our tour was finished, the staff continued their hospitality by offering to help book us a cab back to the city given the transport strike.

We are so incredibly grateful for this experience and implore anyone reading this to book this experience for themselves because it really is worth it. Thank you to all the staff for the best birthday present ever.


We booked the private tour and this experience allowed us to ask our guide more questions and we definitely got more out of it. I would recommend this choice to anyone.

Dopo aver fatto un tuffo nel passato, riguardo alla vita del Macchiavelli, raccontata in modo impeccabile e anche divertente dalla nostra accompagnatrice, mentre ci faceva visitare la villa nella sua interezza, raccontandoci aneddoti e particolari della vita vissuta in ogni ambiente. In ultimo le vecchie cantine ed il vecchio passaggio segreto che conduceva direttamente all'osteria. Abbiamo pranzato e degustato ottimi vini in un ambiente particolare e pieno di fascino. Esperienza che consiglio vivamente. Complimenti a tutto lo staff.

Ho regalato questa esperienza a mio padre e abbiamo trascorso una bellissima giornata al Borgo
Giulia la nostra guida ci ha fatto apprezzare e conoscere ogni singola parte della villa senza essere pesante o dilungarsi troppo in spiegazioni inutile, inoltre pranzare all’albergaccio è stata un’ottima opportunità !
