2 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OVERVIEW: We can hardly believe that Hilton Grand Vacations Club at Borgo alle Vigne has now been officially open for 2 years. Visitor and owner stays to the Borgo continue to increase, with occupancy rates soaring. As the Borgo continues to evolve and mature, an increasing number of exciting new features can now be shared and are available to you on your next visit. Firstly, the new wine shop, Enoteca, is now open providing a variety of wines and blends sourced from local vintners throughout Tuscany. Visitors can stop by the lobby to enjoy a glass or two, or many owners have taken back a bottle to their suite, after being chilled using the new ice machine in the lobby. Furthermore, the terrace in front of Brunello now features a selection of tables, chairs and umbrellas for people to relax in the sun at leisure, or to utilise as a platform to enjoy a drink with fellow neighbours and exchange notes on their Tuscan explorations. You ll also notice from the pictures in this update that the Borgo is now blooming and has truly flourished over the last couple of years. Additional attention has been given to the lower landscaping of Borgo, with the planting of shrubs and blooms brightening the pathway down to the pool.
