Who recently checked in

Property Overview

Perched atop a hill outside Siena, Hotel Le Fontanelle has roots going back to the thirteenth century, built around an ancient water source that gave the property its name. In 2006, it opened as a five-star hotel set within outstanding gardens that capture the essence of the Tuscan landscape. Beyond the panoramic outdoor pool and pétanque field, you'll find The Health Club, with an indoor heated pool, sauna, Turkish bath, jacuzzi, and gym. Dinner on the Belvedere Terrace at Ristorante La Colonna is a must, and a visit to the estate's winery, Vallepicciola, for a Chianti Classico tasting is well worth the short walk

Accommodations

Discreet Tuscan elegance.

The décor strikes a balance between simplicity and refinement, with natural materials like linen, coconut matting, walnut, and oak warmed by burgundy fabrics that echo the hues of a good Chianti. Each of the thirty rooms and six suites has its own character, offering an intimate retreat full of charm in the heart of the fragrant Tuscan countryside. Rooms are available in Classic, Prestige, Deluxe, and Junior Suite categories.
Pool + Gym

A pool with panoramic views.

The outdoor panoramic pool is a world of its own, with the pearl-blue water framed by olive-green hills that stretch to the horizon. Cool stone underfoot, soft grass all around, and plenty of lawn chairs and umbrellas to settle into for the afternoon.

An intimate fitness room stocked with treadmills, bikes, weights, and mats is complimentary for all guests, ensuring you'll have no trouble keeping up your routine during your stay.
Spa

Awaken the senses.

The Health Club is a full retreat in itself – an indoor heated pool, sauna, Turkish bath, jacuzzi, and gym, all designed to help you unwind, purify, and reconnect at your own pace.
Restaurant + Bar

Traditional Italian cuisine in the Tuscan countryside.

Ristorante La Colonna celebrates the depth of Italian gastronomy, with traditional recipes, high-quality local ingredients, and a stunning terrace overlooking the rolling Chianti landscape. For something more relaxed, the Al Fresco Pool Bar serves up simple Mediterranean dishes and sunset drinks by the pool, surrounded by the scent of lavender and rosemary. It’s a favorite with guests of all ages.

The Lounge Bar is the natural gathering spot at the end of a long day, a relaxed, elegant space to settle in with a drink and share some pleasant moments in good company.
