Romantic atmosphere

Nestled among the hills of Chianti Rufina in the Val di Sieve region, La Fontaccia is a charming and authentic agriturismo located just a few kilometers from Florence. Once an ancient farmhouse, it has been revitalized through the vision and determination of Elisabetta and Samuele, who have restored dignity and beauty to this once-abandoned place, transforming it into a peaceful refuge immersed in nature. The renovation of the building has preserved its original architecture, maintaining a strong connection to the land and the agricultural history of this part of Tuscany.

The farmhouse is now divided into two apartments and three guest rooms, each with its own unique character, yet all share a warm and authentic style. The use of reclaimed materials and rustic furnishings creates an intimate and homely atmosphere. Each space, equipped with a private bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and TV, provides comfort while retaining the rural charm of the property.

The kitchen is a central feature of the La Fontaccia experience. The dishes served reflect Tuscan traditions, reimagined with simplicity and a focus on seasonal ingredients. Many of the components are sourced from the family’s organic farm, which spans 14 hectares of olive groves, woods, and cultivated terraces. The extra virgin olive oil produced from typical Tuscan varieties is among the local specialties, along with the ancient fruit preserves served at breakfast.

A commitment to sustainability is evident in every choice made here, from the renovation of the buildings to the restoration of dry stone walls, from mindful water resource management to the use of renewable energy. Guests are encouraged to engage with the rural lifestyle: feeding the chickens, helping in the garden, relaxing in the panoramic hot tub, browsing a small library, or participating in tastings of olive oil and wine.

The surrounding area offers endless opportunities for exploration: winery and farm visits, cooking classes, excursions to Tuscan villages, or a convenient train ride to Florence. Upon returning, guests can enjoy a different sunset over the valley each evening, savored with a glass in hand while seated in the courtyard.

La Fontaccia is more than just a place to sleep; it is an authentic experience of Tuscan rural life, where time slows down, flavors are genuine, and the hospitality is heartfelt.

Hey, I'm Elisabetta

Elisabetta and Samuele are the heart and soul of La Fontaccia.

Bound by their love for nature, Tuscan cuisine, and genuine hospitality, they treat their guests like friends, sharing with them the simple beauty of rural life. Every detail of the property, every dish served, and every experience offered reflects their passion and deep respect for the land.

La Fontaccia is located in the Val di Sieve, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, nestled among the gentle hills of Chianti Rufina, just a few kilometers from Florence. This area, still genuine and less frequented by mass tourism, offers a perfect blend of nature, history, and agricultural tradition. The landscapes are the quintessential representation of true Tuscany: neatly arranged vineyards, ancient olive groves, forests, and stone villages that narrate centuries of rural life.

The surrounding territory provides numerous opportunities for exploration. From charming small towns like Pontassieve and Rufina, where visitors can stroll through artisan shops and local markets, to the renowned wineries of Chianti Rufina, perfect for tastings and guided tours. Nature and trekking enthusiasts can follow green trails that start directly from the agriturismo, winding through forests and ancient stone terraces.

Thanks to its proximity to the train station, Florence is easily accessible in a short time, making it simple to alternate relaxing days in the countryside with cultural visits to the Tuscan capital. Other artistic cities such as Arezzo, Siena, or Lucca can also be explored through day trips.

La Fontaccia's location is ideal for those seeking an authentic vacation, away from the more crowded tourist routes yet convenient for discovering the best of Tuscany.
