Le Fontanelle territory has a long history dated back to the 13th century. This area, first inhabited by Etruscan was successively occupied by the Romans and then, in the Early middle Ages, by the Longobard population. After a complete renovation started in 1999 and finished in 2006, the Fontanelle territory is now a luxury hotel that has maintained its original flavour. Stone and brick are the essential materials of the building. Fantastic botanic gardens with flowers, herbs and spices, vineyards and olive threes are the perfect frame of this special place.
The hotel has also an underground indoor parking.
The lobby is very welcoming. Clients can relax on the sofas of the reading room equipped with an ancient fireplace, enjoying a very warm atmosphere, typical of this deluxe country house.
The hotel is located in the heart of the Chianti Classic are and at 20 min by car far from Siena City centre.
From a conservative restoration of an antique country estate the heart of which dates back to the 13th century, a small but prestigious hotel has been realised in one of the most uncontaminated, panoramic areas of the Chianti Classico territory. The lay out of the living areas enhance both the importance of the original materials, which have been recuperated or re-laid, and the careful choice of furnishing complements, which make every corner of the hotel enjoyable. In a living room, one can sit around an old fireplace whilst in the surrounding spaces which become intimate conversation areas. There is a well stocked library. On the first floor of the hotel is a magnificent Loggia, flooded with light and enriched with the discreet luxury of carefully chosen furniture and objects whose rich choice of colours and materials show taste, flair and sensitivity.
