Hotel Le Fontanelle

Unfortunately, this hotel was a miss, especially for the price. Rooms are very small and basic, even when upgraded. The pool loses sun early in the day due to the hills. Ducho, the driver, is a bright spot - he was incredibly helpful and a great conversationalist! Restaurant was great as well. The sister property (Club House) is MUCH better and a gem (we stayed at both).

Hotel Le Fontanelle was the most beautiful property we visited in Italy! So peaceful, stunning, and unforgettable. We arrived early, and the staff went above and beyond, offering us breakfast, storing our bags, and giving us a place to relax until our room was ready. For our honeymoon, they gifted us prosecco, wine, and a sweet note which was such a thoughtful gesture. Our room was cool and comfortable (though the bed was very firm like concrete and uncomfortable) and the on-site meals were delicious with consistently attentive service. The pool and views were serene and we felt completely at peace. The sunset picnic we booked was not what we expected based on the price (130 euros)... we were just handed a pre-packed *very heavy* basket from behind the front desk and we were told to set it up ourselves and find our own picnic sunset spot on the property (no direct spots with a sunset view and the food was underwhelming). However, our other experiences such as the Vallepicciola winery tour and dinner at their sister property, The Clubhouse, were fantastic with great shuttle service. Overall, despite the bed & picnic experiences, it was still one of the most incredible properties we've ever stayed at and we’d definitely return in a heartbeat!

Beautiful, charming boutique hotel with its own vineyards. We stayed four nights (family of 5) in two rooms and had a wonderful time. The food was excellent, especially the breakfast, which we enjoyed eating outside on the terrasse each morning. |We had an opportunity to use both the indoor and outdoor pools. the views from the outdoor pool are spectacular. The outdoor pool is quite shallow but the water was nicely refreshing. The indoor pool is much deeper and good for exercising in. |The Hotel is small and quiet although children were always made to feel very welcome as the sister site at The Clubhouse is an adults only hotel (though we had no issues dining there in the evening with kids). The benefit of a small hotel is you get to know the staff and our experience with the entire team was very positive. While many of the staff are serving at dinner and again at breakfast, they were always very friendly and responsive despite the long hours many of them work. |Our rooms were on the top floor in the main building and are in a traditional style. The four poster bed had a comfortable matress. We like a very dark room at night and this was easy to achieve given the wooden style shutters. The wall mounted A/C did struggle a little in the high heat but it was never too hot in the evenings even if we didn't quite get to the ideal sleeping temperature. The bathrooms are very clean but probably the most disappointing aspect of what is otherwise a 5 star experience. They are a little dated and the shower head does not produce a wide rainshower which is becoming the standard. The free toiletries were ok, nothing special. |The location is very much in the coutryside but Siena is only about 25 minutes away by car. If you are staying 3-5 nights then the 3 restaurants on site will be more than enough to satisfy you so you don't really need to be concerned about any other dining options close by. |We also signed up for a wine tasting and tour at the Vallepicciola Winery which is under the same ownership as the hotel. It was a very pleasant 3 hours away from the kids. |Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Le Fontanelle, it has all the hallmarks of a well run hotel with positive and energetic staff and great service. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Hotel Le Fontanelle is truly magical. The service is incredible—everything is so thoughtfully planned that we never had to worry about a thing. From booking activities to small touches like turn-down service timed while we were at dinner, they handled it all seamlessly. The views are absolutely stunning and somehow never get old. Whether you’re by the pool or enjoying a meal, you’re always looking out over the rolling Tuscan hills. Every detail is done with care. We even saw someone scrubbing the tires of our e-bikes after a ride, and our picnic was packed with everything we could possibly need, all perfectly arranged in a custom backpack. We had to make a few small changes to our booking, and the staff took care of it effortlessly. Everyone we met was so warm and welcoming, always greeting us with a smile. The hotel grounds are gorgeous—vibrant flowers, neatly trimmed gardens, peaceful vineyards, and olive trees everywhere you look. It really feels like the heart of Tuscany. We honestly couldn’t believe how lucky we were to experience such beauty in such a special place. We can’t wait to visit again.

My wife and I started our honeymoon at the Club House and had an awesome stay! The property is so beautiful and quiet and it feels like you have the property to yourself. The food was amazing (some of the best we have ever had). Highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing stay in Tuscany!

We stayed at Hotel Fontanelle during a Backroads bike trip to Tuscany. The hotel is beautiful. Rooms are large. View from the outdoor restaurant was beautiful. We enjoyed the pool. Service overall was excellent. We also appreciated the complementary bottle of wine from their sister winery which was excellent.

We celebrated our honeymoon at Hotel La Fontanelle and it was the most romantic and wonderful time. The hotel was so relaxing and peaceful, and the views are breathtaking. The food was delicious, and brilliant service. Being in the Chianti region, the wine of course was amazing, and a really good location for excursions to wine tours which the hotel can book for you. We will definitely be back in the future!

We just left Hotel Le Fontanelle and are now at another Hotel in Tuscany region as we are going to 2 hotels in Tuscany and then 2 hotels on the Amalfi coast. We were very impressed by the profressionalism of the entire staff but wanted to make sure we gave special recognition to Michela who always went the extra mile for us and other guests. He was very personable even though his English wasn’t perfect. He communicated perfectly. We also wanted to recognize Jonathan, Alberto, the front staff and the restaurant manager whose name I don’t know but he was always dressed professional and had glasses. The view was to die for. We would definitely return. The food was outstanding and you won’t be disappointed. If you are looking for tranquility, relaxation and pampering, this is the place to go.

Impeccably maintained property and grounds. In every direction you look from this hilltop location is a magical postcard worthy view. Staff is very warm, friendly, helpful, and attentive. Multiple restaurants on the property with dining options from casual to Michelin Star. Food and drink are excellent. We booked an E-Bike tour of the surrounding area through the hotel and had a great casual ride on sparsely traveled local roads) through vineyards and the countryside. E-Bikes power you through the very hilly terrain with ease. ( It would be brutal without them if you're not a serious rider. Traveling off property is a bit inconvenient as taxis are disatched out of Siena and take 30 minutes+. We've been to some very nice properties but I'd say this is the most impressive - not sure how it could be topped.

Amazing hotel situated in the beautiful hilly countryside just outside Siena. And when I say amazing, I mean AMAZING! Best hotel experience ever, better than American Ritz hotels. Incredible views, extremely accommodating staff in the reception area and in the 5 star restaurant. Perfectly located outside the busy touristy area but near wonderful wineries. Sitting outside at night under the stars in their outdoor luscious garden was a highlight. Would definitely stay again.
