REVIEW SCORE

Villa Le Fontanelle Valdorcia is located in the spectacular countryside of the Orcia valley, which has been renowned since the end of the first millennium as an important stage on the Via Francigena, the great medieval pilgrimage road from France to Rome


show more details

Villa Le Fontanelle Valdorcia was a peasants' house in ruins when it was discovered by the Gonzi family, its current owners. Ideal for a luxury holiday combined with great hospitality and gastronomy. They have renovated other farmhouses, so the same attention to detail and all the lessons learned from previous renovations have been used in this last restoration, finished in 2003: original stone and bricks, terracotta flooring, antiques, and Tuscan wooden furniture.

The extensive lawn is mainly grass to maintain the open space of the valley and not to restrict the view around the farmhouse. Terracotta pots with geraniums, wild roses, and bushes of lavender and rosemary create a beautiful frame around the pool ( 5.15mx 15m h. 90cm a 1.70 cm).

The large swimming pool is part of a landscaped terrace looking out over the countryside: it lies next to the villa from where guests can enjoy a spectacular view. Here guests can enjoy a long swim or simply relax poolside. All around tables and lounge chairs transform the area into a veritable outdoor salon, suitable for sun-bathing, conversing, cocktails, or just spending time with family and friends. The covered dining space with a fireplace, pizza oven, barbeque, table, and chairs will let guests enjoy unforgettable Tuscan sunsets.

About the Location

Italy, Tuscany, Val d'Orcia

Valdorcia is a region of Tuscany which extends along the provinces of Siena and Grosseto. Typically Tuscan landscape, Valdorcia is as scenic and untouched as it gets, featuring endless rolling hills covered with grain or sunflowers, a rich green valley which encompasses the Orcia river, from where the name of the region derives.  Miles and miles of vineyards produce the renowned wines of Brunello and the newer Val d’Orcia DOC. Valdorcia is protected as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Time seems to slow down for picturesque towns like Pienza, a true gem known as the "Ideal City" with the beautiful Palazzo Piccolomini, or the little town of Castiglion d'Orcia with its beautiful fortress. The hilltop town of Radicofani with its imposing castle tower will leave no visitor indifferent. To the west, towards the walled medieval city of Montalcino, you will also find the vineyards of Brunello. A must-see is the beautiful Romanesque Abbey of Sant' Antimo, one of the best examples of medieval monastic architecture.

Valdorcia except for museums, ancient abbeys, and castles, is known for its therapeutic thermal baths of the region, such as the ones in Bagno Vignoni or in Bagni di San Filippo.

This region has great production of high-quality local products such as the "pecorino" cheese of Pienza, premium quality olive oil and wine as well as saffron, mushrooms, chestnuts, truffles and more.

A vacation in Valdorcia will address most of your senses, taking you for a special journey of sweet tastes and marvelous panoramas that will be imprinted on your memory. This is one of the most postcard-perfect areas of Tuscany.

Tuscany is a place like nowhere else in the world; this is the reason why this region is at the tops bucket lists all over the globe. Amazing landscapes, beautiful hilltop towns and the fantastic capital city of Florence charm everyone who decides to visit it. It is a majestic region with almost half of the artistic heritage of Italy and fantastic landscapes. Due to its mild weather, you could visit Tuscany all year round. It’s a region with exceptional art towns and hilltop villages and with a heritage of a glorious past with unspoiled nature, spectacular sea coast, and beautiful islands. Here you will taste some of the best wine varieties and then you can relax to one of its thermal spas.

The birthplace of the Roman Empire and Renaissance, Italy, showcases many of the world’s greatest artworks, architectural buildings and over the top gastronomical proposals. This is the country where the word “style” expresses the whole nation. Italy has more Unesco World Heritage cultural sites than any other country; among them are Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and Primavera, Michelangelo’s David and Sistine Chapel and da Vinci’s The Last Supper.
