Our History
The restoration of the borgo
Ten years in the making, the Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo is the splendid outcome of a meticulous restoration project that took the dwellings of an ancient farming community, or borgo, that dates from the Middle Ages and turned it into a one-of-a-kind vacation resort, perfect also for destination weddings, as well as events of all kinds. The rescue and restoration of the borgo, which is located close to the Renaissance hill-town of Urbino in the lovely region of the Marche in central Italy, was informed by the idea of respecting the environment. Sustainable materials have been used wherever possible, as well as renewable energy sources, ensuring that the ancient buildings and their setting continue to live in harmony with the present, just as they did with the past.
