The original house
The earliest structure of Borgo Botol dates to the 12th century. Its masonry, proportions and surviving fabric established the character that later work sought to retain.
A long life
Eight centuries
held in one house.
Borgo Botol was originally built in the 12th century.
The building changed as generations used it. A first restoration took place in the 1600s; the latest work, completed in 2025, preserved its stone, timber, arches and irregular details while making the house comfortable for modern stays.
