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.

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.
Hotel Le Fontanelle… A luxurious Home away from Home!
