Hotel Le Fontanelle

Rialto Score 9.5+

Rialto is a Virtuoso agency and can provide VIP access and offers.

The everyday melts away at Hotel Le Fontanelle, an ancient estate set amidst lush vineyards and olive groves in Chianti Classico. The main stone building, dating to the 13th century, has been lovingly revived; wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta-tiled floors add charm to the 36 guestrooms, updated in an elegantly simple Tuscan style. Go hiking and biking, lounge by two pools, or sample prestigious labels at nearby Vallepicciola winery before savoring bold Italian fare on the panoramic terrace.

About Hotel Le Fontanelle

Insider tip

Rent a Vespa and zip into nearby Siena (13 miles) or a Ferrari to cruise through the rolling hills on the way to eternal Florence (50 miles).

In the hotel’s own words

It was 1999 when Giuseppina Bolfo first set eyes on a 13th century farmhouse in the hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga. It took seven years to carefully and respectfully renovate the structure, maintaining the energy in its massive stone exterior, building with wood from the region and delicately adding refined terracotta pavements aligned with the classic style of Chianti. Thus in 2006 Hotel Le Fontanelle (named after its ancient water source) became a unique place, which, thanks to a refined and gentle welcome, offers a more authentic and immersive experience of Chianti.

Located just on top of a hill range, Hotel Le Fontanelle and its outstanding gardens overwhelms its guests thanks to the beauty of the pure Tuscan landscape.

With its 36 rooms divided into five different typologies, the hotel proposes a special refined comfort, turning into the perfect choice for a pleasant holiday, a romantic honeymoon, spellbound marriages, meetings, a eno-gastronomic path, or simply for a relaxing break in the name of wellbeing and interior peacefulness research.

The hotel, furnished with charm and modern conveniences, offers its guests the use of an outdoor panoramic swimming pool, a petanque court and mountain bikes.

The complimentary access to the wellness area, The Health Club, with indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, Turkish bath, jacuzzi and fitness center will entertain those who wish to decompress and concentrate on their inner self.

There is perhaps no better way of experiencing a country’s history than through its food… guests may experience the classic Italian cuisine at La Colonna restaurant with its breathtaking Belvedere Terrace, enjoy a light lunch at Al Fresco Pool Bar or sip a glass of Chianti Classico at the estate’s winery, Vallepicciola.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
