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.
