Our People
Erminia is the head of the Borgo San Pecoraio family, she was at the side of Michele and together they built the property literally from scratch in the 80' and 90'. She is an excellent traditional cook. Born and raised in Liguria and lived 40 years in Tuscany, she is happy to share with you her classic Italian recipes.

Our Chef Jo is originally from Peru. He grew up in a culture where food is something really meaningful: not just eating, but connecting with family and honoring traditions. Now he brings together what he learned from his Peruvian background with Italian cooking, using fresh and in-season ingredients.
