Description

Fontanelle is a charming villa with a private swimming pool located close by the village of Montalcino, famous worldwide for its beauty and red wine production among which Brunello di Montalcino. This property is ideal for wine lovers as it is close to many well-known vineyards offering daily tours. Fontanelle is positioned in a spectacular position surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, cypresses and with views of the surrounding hills.

The owner, a renowned Italian Architect and Interior Designer, has furnished Fontanelle at a very high standard. Because of its charming style, the house has been featured in several books and magazines, including House and Garden, Elle Decor and Tuscany Interiors. The rooms have been painted and furnished throughout in natural colors, which blend perfectly with the brick tiled floors, exposed beams, and sunny open spaces.

One of the highlights of the house is its magnificent living room with vaulted ceilings opens to the rear of the house to a pretty terrace with vines, pots of flowers and views over the countryside. Furthermore, there is a one-of-a-kind terrace overlooking the outside surrounding countryside ideal for al-fresco dining.
