Exterior: Le Fontanelle territory has a long history dated back to
the 13th century. This area, first inhabited by Etruscan was
successively occupied by the Romans and then, in the Early middle
Ages, by the Longobard population. After a complete renovation
started in 1999 and finished in 2006, the Fontanelle territory is
now a luxury hotel that has maintained its original flavour. Stone
and brick are the essential materials of the building. Fantastic
botanic gardens with flowers, herbs and spices, vineyards and olive
threes are the perfect frame of this special place.The hotel has
also an underground indoor parking.
Lobby: The lobby is very welcoming. Clients can relax on the sofas
of the reading room equipped with an ancient fireplace, enjoying a
very warm atmosphere, typical of this deluxe country house.
