Relax by The Pool
Originally built as a medieval watchtower in the 12th century, the estate has witnessed centuries of transformation. Later owned by the noble Squarcialupi family and used as a hunting lodge, it eventually became a working agricultural property before being lovingly restored by the Boomsma family in 2023. Today, Fattoria di Vegi blends its historic roots with a vision for modern, thoughtful hospitality. There’s a natural stillness to life at Fattoria di Vegi. Days unfold at their own pace, slow mornings, long lunches, the quiet hum of the vines. It’s warm and unpretentious, with a sense of elegance that comes from restraint rather than formality. The atmosphere is easy, thoughtful, and deeply connected to the rhythms of the countryside.
The emblem of Fattoria di Vegi is drawn from the estate’s own history, inspired by an archival detail found etched into a stone lintel above one of the villa’s original entrances. This small symbol, once overlooked, became a quiet representation of everything the estate stands for: rootedness, craft, and timeless continuity. Reinterpreted with restraint and intention, the emblem reflects the architectural heritage of the property — a balance of strength and softness, symmetry and irregularity. It speaks not of branding, but of belonging: a mark that connects past and present, just as the estate itself bridges tradition and modern hospitality. Like everything at Vegi, it’s not loud, but it lasts.
Padel & Tennis
Our courts are tucked into the landscape and surrounded by olive trees, offering space for a friendly match or an energizing start to the day. Rackets and balls are available, just ask.
Art & Design
The interiors balance restraint and richness. Drawing inspiration from Italian Regency, the spaces feature bold color palettes, custom lighting, and a dialogue between antique and contemporary forms. Materials such as terracotta, glass, brass, and aged wood echo the estate’s heritage while creating moments of contrast and elegance. Each room and common area has been carefully considered, not only to look beautiful, but to feel meaningful, lasting, and personal. Whether you're here for rest or exploration, there's something on and around the estate to match your pace
