In the wonderful Val d'Orcia,
the valley of the Siennese clay hills in southern Tuscany, lies Fonte Senesi, surrounded by the landscape which enchanted Giotto, Perugino and Pinturicchio.In spite of its fame, the charm of these sweet hills, crowned by cypress trees and lonely houses has remained intact. Born as an old farmhouse built in
1846, Fonte Senesi today is a small jewel to discover: exposed wooden beams, wrought iron, terracotta floors, antique chest of drawers make it a comfortable "refuge", for a limited number of guests. During the renovation
everything was carefully planned and executed by a well-known architect of the area. The final result is an extremely attractive and comfortable family house.Fonte Senesi is surrounded by a large garden
equipped with table and chairs where you can have your meals overlooking the valley at sunset, the highlight of the day.You can also enjoy these enchanting views while staying around the pool
and reading a good book.The house lies just 2 km. from the paved road and from the médieval fortified village of Monticchiello, on the way to Pienza
(7 km.). From Fonte Senesi all the most beautiful towns, castles and churches of this side of Italy are in easy reach.In the house you will find a book with much useful information and suggestions to make your stay even more enjoyable.
