Villa Fontelunga

An outstanding experience from the minute you arrive until you leave. Paolo and Philip run both Fontelunga and Borgo 69. We were upgraded to Borgo 69 and it was beautiful beyond words. The decor, the peaceful and beautiful surroundings not to mention the restaurant on site were outstanding. Perfectly positioned o explore the best Tuscany has to offer, this property has a stunning infinity pool to relax in at the end of the day. Your boys take the time to get to know you and cater to your every need. An exceptional experience.

Villa Fontelunga is among the finest boutique hotels we have ever stayed at. The Villa is centrally located in the heart of Tuscany; 1 hour from Florence, about 40 minutes from Sienna, and 30 minutes from Arezzo and Cortona. The proprietors, Paolo and Philip, and their joyful and professional team (Greta and Erica) are extraordinary hosts. We took our family ( 17 adults and teenagers) to the Villa for a week of relaxation, tours to Firenze, Arezzo, wineries, Sienna (where we had a fabulous cooking lesson from Scuola di Cucina de Lella), and superb local restaurants. Fontelunga deserves its Michelin rating. For us, it was as good as any five-star accommodation. It has 9 en-suite rooms including a separate villa, magnificent views of Tuscan hills and delights for all—a beautifully maintained swimming pool (necessary for 90 degree heat) and tennis court, outside courtyard for dining and wonderful breakfast room. Many excellent restaurants were only 10-15 minutes away. On several evenings we decided not to leave the hotel and the Villa arranged to bring in lunches and dinners, which were phenomenal. We cannot say enough about Paolo and Philip and their team. We felt at home there and the Villa Fontelunga team became part of our family during our stay. We cherished our visit and cannot wait to return.

Philip and Paolo run a superb facility with much attention to detail. Location is perfect with their restaurant minutes away. Perfectly situated for exploring the wonderful Tuscan countryside but take care on the roads and watch out for the Italian tailgating drivers.

Beautiful grounds with an awesome garden and pool. Views over the valley and mountains all the way to Cortona. Room was very comfortable. Bedding excellent. Quality fixtures, seating and furniture. Had a wonderful time with excellent hosts and staff. Will definitely be back

My wife and I stayed at Borgo 69, the newer offering by Paulo and Philip. This property is just down the road from Fontelunga and exceeded our every expectation. The property is absolutely beautiful but the attention to detail in the room and in the restaurant was the showstopper. From the incredible glassware and items throughout the kitchen, to the art and furniture in the living room, and the furniture on the balcony. And the views across the Tuscan landscape from tour balcony were spectacular. And every person we met at the property was the nicest and most helpful we had the pleasure to get to know. If you are in the area, this is definitely a great place to stay and somewhere we could not recommend highly enough. Thank you to Paulo, Philip, Martina, and Greta for making our time in Tuscany so special!
