La Fontanella is fantastically located in the heart of the Chianti, just on the edge of a quaint stone village filled with Tuscan character and charm. Several of the main Chianti vineyards can easily be reached for wine tastings, these include Brolio, Dievole and Meleto.
In the fenced garden there is a small prefabricated pool, partly raised above ground. Along one side of it is a pretty sun-deck furnished with a couple of sun-beds and an umbrella. The pool is well hidden from the nearby village road by a large laurel hedge.
Inside the villa there is a spacious lounge with a double sofa and sat TV. Passing under a terracotta arch there is the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is with gas hobs, oven, and a small fridge. The indoor dining table is a breakfast table with three stools.
From the lounge through another terracotta arch is a corridor off which there is access to the large double bedroom with a big mirrored wardrobe. The spacious bathroom with shower is at the end of the corridor.
On the first floor is the second part of the villa, this is a larger apartment. Inside is a fully equipped kitchen to the left. It includes an oven, microwave, gas hobs and a fridge with separate freezer compartment.
To the right of the entrance is the lounge and dining area, it is separated from the kitchen area by a pretty terracotta arch. The room has a warm wooden floor and the traditional Tuscan ceiling of terracotta tiles and wooden beams. One wall is exposed stone with a lovely open fireplace for the cooler nights. In the centre of the room is the antique wooden dining table which comfortably seats 8 people, while to one side is a triple leather sofa with matching armchair. Off the lounge is a small balcony looking out to the fantastic views of the Chianti.
To the back of the villa is the sleeping area which has a beautiful, large double bedroom with a four poster bed. Plenty of light comes in from the window with views of the garden. The room is furnished with a 5 door wardrobe and a matching bench. In the hall is a small bathroom with shower.
The second bedroom is a twin room, which can be made into a double if requested when booking. This spacious room is paved with wood, like the rest of the first floor of La Fontanella. In the room is a triple door wardrobe and comfortable armchair. En-suite is a bathroom with shower.
The ground and first floor are linked internally by a spiral staircase.
There is a popular restaurant in the village
Pets are allowed however there is a weekly charge of 50 Euros.
There is an air-conditioning unit in each bedroom. This is included in the weekly price, but will cost extra for guests visiting in 2019.
The attic is currently not in use. The wooden staircase in the lounge is due to be removed, and new staircase will be built in the room with the four-poster bed. This will lead to the attic, which is going to be developed into a reading room.
2 double bedrooms and 1 twin room.
The double bedrooms cannot be made into twins. The twin room can be set up as a double if requested when booking.
1 bathroom en-suite, 2 bathrooms in the hall.
Approach road - all paved

Wir haben uns dieses Haus mit Pool in einem kleinen Dorf ausgesucht und haben alles so vorgefunden wie Beschrieben. Sehr freundliche Menschen in einem nicht von Touristen überlaufenden Ort und Umgebung. Die kleinen Orte in der Umgebung sind sehr schön und man kann hier alles einkaufen was man zum Essen und Trinken braucht.
Uns 4 Erwachsenen, unseren 2 älteren Kinder und den beiden Hunden hat es sehr gut gefallen.
Uns 4 Erwachsenen, unseren 2 älteren Kinder und den beiden Hunden hat es sehr gut gefallen.
Da der Ort etwas abseits ist haben wir natürlich einige Orte besucht. Für uns war San Gimignano sehr sehr schön trotz der vielen Touristen. Wir haben natürlich den Markt in Siena und die Stadt besucht. Florenz liegt auch in der Reichweite für einen Tagesausflug Gut zum Einkaufen war auch Gaiole in Chianti und Radda in Chianti. In Rada war auch der Markt schön obwohl er nicht sehr Groß ist. Das Eis ist hier auch sehr zu empfehlen.

Family with older children
Stay: July 2017
We stayed 3 weeks at La Fontanella. The villa is very private, you cannot see any neighbours. The villa and grounds were very spacious. We were mostly outdoors and enjoyed the different areas in front and back of the villa depending on the time of day. The view from the pool over the vineyards is beautiful. We enjoyed many stunning sunsets and late evenings under the stars. We found everything true to description. We also made good use of the barbeque and pizza oven. We received clean linen and towels during our stay.
The villa is in the heart of Chianti. We enjoyed the towns Rada, Gaole in Chianti and Greve in Chianti. Siena is the closest big town and we
loved shopping and the atmosphere in the streets and were lucky to experience the Palio. We found all the locals very friendly. We went to many restaurants, we did not have a favourite they were all great. We enjoyed Brolio castle amd the views there, but the wine is cheaper elewhere.

La maison est totalement conforme au descriptif. Elle est très accueillante et fonctionnelle. La vue est magnifique. Nous avons adoré préparer de vraies pizzas cuites au feu de bois. Le seul bémol est la qualité de la literie.

The small peaceful village of San Sano has one restaurant, called La Grotta della Rana, a small grocery store, and a small church with Sunday morning services at 10am. This medieval village is very popular with walkers and cyclists, surrounded as it is by pathways, which are ideal for early morning walks and bike rides.
