VILLA LA FONTANA

VILLA LA FONTANA - MONTALCINO

8 Bedrooms 

Location and Surrounding Area
Immersed in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, this magnificent eight-bedroom farmhouse is ideally located to explore the region’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. With wonderful views of the surrounding hills, this elegant masterfully-restored villa is the perfect location for unforgettable day trips to the most beautiful towns in Tuscany. The villa is just a stone’s throw from Montalcino, extremely well-known for the production of its Brunello red wine, one of the world’s most appreciated Italian wines.

Explore Grosseto and wander around its 16th-century Medici walls, now transformed into gardens perfect for a pleasant walk. The wide walls form a hexagonal shape and enclose the whole of the historic center of the city. Enjoy a Tuscan lunch before visiting the Romanesque cathedral. Originally dating back to the 13th-century, it was extensively remodeled in the 19th-century. Then visit the smaller churches of San Francesco and San Pietro, which date back to the Medieval period.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Siena. Its ancient red brick buildings, the scallop-shaped main square Piazza del Campo and the Cathedral Square, dominated by the zebra-striped Duomo, make it an absolute must for anyone traveling to Tuscany. Effectively an open-air museum celebrating the Gothic, Siena boasts secular monuments that have retained both their medieval forms and their exceptional art collections, providing plenty to marvel at.

The villa is just a few kilometers from San Gimignano, one of the best preserved medieval towns in Italy. From afar, San Gimignano looks like a town from a Renaissance painting: a circle of 13th-century walls enclosing tall, teetering stone towers. Its towers make it instantly recognizable, but the art treasures held within its walls are just as remarkable. Although the town is small, there is enough art, architecture and fine food to keep you busy for more than one day.

In less than two hours by car you can reach Volterra, one of Tuscany’s most dramatic hilltop towns. Despite its many attractions, Volterra sees fewer tourists than other Tuscan towns, so you can expect to share its winding stone streets with locals and explore its ancient sites without crowds. Founded by the Etruscans and surrounded by medieval walls, Volterra has a notable historic center filled with fascinating Roman ruins, medieval buildings and alabaster workshops.

In two hours by car you can easily reach Florence, a treasure trove of art with an astonishing contemporary vibe. Beyond the extraordinary artistic heritage, a testimony to its centuries of civilization, the best way to enjoy Florence is to stroll along the riverside avenues at sunset, or to get lost among the city’s myriad alleyways of the bohemian Oltrarno or the narrow little streets of San Niccolò, where it feels like you have ended up in another time along its centuries-old walls.
