Fontanelle

Very stylish and beautiful 8 bedroom villa in the heart of the famous Montalcino vineyards. Featured in books and magazines. From $6,716 per week

Tuscany-Southeast/Val D'Orcia Villa 16

Fontanelle is without doubt one of our loveliest Tuscan properties. It is located to the west of Montalcino, an area renowned for its beauty and for its wines, especially the famous Brunello di Montalcino. The property is in a spectacular position, surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, cypresses and with views of the surrounding hills. The house has recently been restored and furnished to an exceptionally high standard by the owner, a well-known Italian interior designer. The house has been featured in several books and magazines, including House and Garden, Elle Decor and Tuscany Interiors. The rooms have been painted and furnished throughout in warm yellows and terracottas, which blend perfectly with the brick tiled floors, exposed beams and sunny open spaces. The magnificent living room with vaulted ceilings opens to the rear of the house to a pretty terrace with vines, pots of flowers and views over the countryside. Off this terrace is a covered dining terrace, also with wonderful views. Resident cat.

Only a short walk to Podere Montalcino, and a short drive to Lavacchio, two other villas on our site. Might be ideal for a larger group, wanting to be near each other, but also wanting a little privacy.

5 bedroom/5 bathrooms Additional 3 bedrooms and 3 baths available in annex

Whaty makes this property special?

Gorgeous surroundings. Great decor and design that has been published in a number of leading design magazines. Within walking distance of a couple great Brunello wineries.
