Rooms & Suites: 25
An authentic charming country house hotel in the Sienese Chianti area of Tuscany.
The ancient fascination of the Sienese countryside, the rolling hills, the vineyards and the silence of an area that offers one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, plus the warmth of a stone-house where nothing is found there by mere chance. This and much more is Le Fontanelle: a five-star hotel whose luxury is discrete, intimate and true, a charming hotel in which spending a vacation means living a real emotional experience. The Hotel overlooks a silent valley in the area of Pianella, not far from Castelnuovo Berardenga, the heart of Chiantishire. Once inside, you breathe in the atmosphere of an old country-house with its lounges and silent courts, a garden with a swimming-pool, stone vaults and verandas. You will see the renowned Florentine fired bricks everywhere (the cotto) and the old vaulted roofs; in the rooms you will find the traditional bed linen and towels. There are 25 rooms, each one quite different from the other; some with a private patio and a garden. The large windows open wide onto the rolling green hills of Chianti. There are no curtains and each window becomes the frame of a different picture changing colours as time goes by. The pale stones reflect light thus maintaining a quaint rural charm, typical of local structures. Halls and common areas are spacious and overlook the green countryside, with its vast skyline of ancient olive trees, vineyards and majestic cypress trees. A restaurant, a Spa, a library and a botanic garden with a variety of aromatic herbs are all important part of the Le Fontanelle offer to its guests. Le Fontanelle is the ideal starting point of a cultural tour to get to know Siena and the surroundings, thanks to the daily shuttles to the city provided. It is also a perfect setting for a romantic weekend as well as a vacation with your children in joyful afternoon making slow trekking or excursions with a bicycle at guests' disposition. Le Fontanelle is open from April 1st to October 31.
