The house immersed in the tranquility of the Sienese hills.
In the heart of Chianti, in Castelnuovo Berardenga, stands a silent house on the hill. Opened to guests in 2006 and affectionately named by its owners, Hotel Le Fontanelle embraces the extraordinary surrounding beauty.
A Tuscan farmhouse that has preserved its characteristics and history through careful and respectful restoration, maintaining the authenticity of the village and its charm. Discreet elegance, typically Tuscan, is the common thread that ties every environment together, a distinctive trait evident in every detail.
The furnishings of the rooms and suites are meticulously crafted. The materials such as natural fibers and coconut mats, paired with walnut wood, oak, and burgundy fabrics, evoke the colors of the Chianti hills.
Each room has its own soul, an intimate and secret retreat in the fragrant Sienese countryside, brimming with charm and elegance. The Classic rooms reflect the style of Tuscan rustic residences, with cotto floors, exposed beam ceilings, and soft floral fabrics. The Prestige rooms, located in the farmhouse just a few steps from the pool, resemble small country residences, offering an intimate and quiet atmosphere with private gardens. The large windows and open spaces of the Deluxe rooms allow natural light, while the private terrace with breathtaking views makes the Junior Suites the perfect place to enjoy a great glass of wine, surrounded by the endless beauty of the countryside. The Suites are true private residences, offering a total immersion in the charm of Chianti. The interiors, bedroom, and separate living room, are furnished with a rustic style.
The refined comfort of the rooms extends to the common areas dedicated to relaxation and rest, nurturing both mind and body in this place of peace and beauty. The heated indoor pool is the heart of The Health Club wellness area, surrounded by large windows overlooking the hotel’s vineyards.
The outdoor pool, with its immersion in nature and views of the horizon, is a true gem nestled in the greenery. Some rooms and suites are located in Villa Il Mandorlo, an outbuilding about 400 meters from the main hotel area. It is possible to rent the villa’s premises exclusively, in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, enjoying the views of Chianti.
At the center of the gastronomic experience of the Hotel Le Fontanelle stands the restaurant La Colonna, named in honor of the imposing stone column that dominates the room. With an elegant atmosphere, characterized by refined and minimalist mise en place, linen tablecloths and generous glasses, the restaurant offers an unparalleled setting thanks to the large windows framing the surrounding landscape.
During the summer season, guests can enjoy the Belvedere Terrace, a charming portion of the restaurant overlooking the vineyards. This area offers the unique thrill of savoring culinary delights under the starry sky during dinners.
The cuisine of the restaurant La Colonna is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, based on the excellence and quality of the raw materials, expertly treated with skill and creativity. The dishes surprise with unusual combinations that offer contemporary sensations and flavors, while maintaining a profound respect for traditional Italian cuisine. Leading the kitchen team is Chef Francesco Ferrettini, with his Tuscan roots and extensive culinary experience gained in renowned restaurants in the region.
Hotel Le Fontanelle embodies the essence of Tuscan beauty and hospitality, offering guests a luxury retreat immersed in the serenity of the Chianti hills, where every detail is carefully curated and every experience is memorable. The hotel will reopen its doors on April 18th, ready to welcome guests in an atmosphere of unparalleled elegance and comfort.
