Hotel Le Fontanelle

Absolutely the most beautiful experience we have ever had. From the second you arrive you feel like your stress has disappeared. The views of Tuscany are stunning. The chef has out done himself with cuisines that will want you waiting for your next course. The staff is top notch and leaves you wanting for nothing. Luxurious. Excellence. Classic.

Outstanding location, great food and wine, friendly and helpful staff, wonderful location! Looking forward to the opportunity to visit again. Would recommend this hotel highly to anyone seeking fun and relaxing experience in the Tuscan countryside.

Wow - the Hotel Le Fontanelle is an incredible place to stay in the Chianti region of Tuscany. The views are stunning and the hospitality is outstanding. It has an old world feel, but with modern amenities. The onsite restaurants are very good. Il Visibilio was an incredible experience. The breakfast, both the views and the food - were incredible. Also - the onsite winery, Vallepicciola, was really good. We had an awesome tour and tasting, and shipped back home wine. There is a lot to do on property, which is good especially if you don't have a rental car. I give Hotel Le Fontanelle my highest recommendation.

This is hands down the best hotel in the region! My wife and I stayed here for six nights after a brief stay in Florence (just 1.5 hours away) and wished we could have stayed even longer. The property is gated, and since we arrived at night, the gate was closed, but we easily entered by pressing a button to let them know we’d arrived. Though the kitchen was closed, they graciously offered us food at the bar, including a delicious Florentine sandwich and salad along with nightcaps. The hotel offers valet service and keeps cars securely in a garage. Our room was located on the far side of the property, so they provided quick golf cart service to get us there. However, my wife and I loved the beautiful views, so most days we chose to walk to breakfast. Breakfast was included each morning, and we could enjoy it in the dining area or have it delivered to our room, which we did a couple of times. We had access to amenities at the hotel’s sister property, the Club Room, where the spa is located. They offer a convenient shuttle anytime, day or night, for trips to this other property, which also has a restaurant, giving us even more dining options. During our stay, we explored nearby towns like Siena (30 minutes away), San Gimignano (an hour away), and Pienza (also about an hour), for which we had our own car. For those without a vehicle, the hotel provides car service to Siena for a fee. The front desk gave us wonderful restaurant recommendations for each town, as well as suggestions for our next destination in Pisa. On days we stayed at the hotel, we enjoyed a wine tour at their local winery, complete with cheese and wine tastings. They even arranged to ship wine back to the U.S. for us! We also spent a relaxing day by the pool, where food and drink service was readily available. Overall, it was an outstanding experience. We’ve decided that whenever we return to Tuscany, this will be the only hotel we’ll consider!

A truly luxurious resort. Make sure you take advantage of all it has to offer. Highly recommend using the driving range, doing the olive oil tasting, and dining at all three restaurants on the grounds. Also definitely schedule a picnic, it was incredibly romantic. Views are absolutely breathtaking, we had an incredible stay.
