In the heart of Chianti Classico, nestled among gentle hills, vineyards, and cypress trees, La Fonte del Machiavelli welcomes guests to a historic residence dating back to the 1400s, once owned by Niccolò Machiavelli. Located in Sant’Andrea in Percussina, the Fontalle farmhouse has been meticulously restored, preserving its historical ambiance and Tuscan charm.

The rooms, decorated in traditional style, are spacious, air-conditioned, and equipped with private bathrooms and satellite TV. The tranquility of the countryside, along with panoramic views of the surrounding nature, makes each stay a truly relaxing experience. In the morning, guests awaken to the sound of birds singing and can enjoy a hearty breakfast on the terrace, while in the evening, they are serenaded by the chirping of crickets and the glow of fireflies.

An oasis of peace, the swimming pool set amidst greenery provides a perfect spot to cool off and unwind, perhaps under the shade of an olive tree, surrounded by the scents of the Tuscan countryside.

Thanks to its strategic location, the B&B serves as an ideal starting point for exploring Tuscany: Florence is just 15 minutes away, while San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra, Pisa, and Lucca are all easily accessible for day trips. Those who appreciate a "slow vacation" can take scenic drives through Chianti, stopping in historic villages for a stroll or a tasting session. Nearby restaurants and trattorias offer the chance to savor authentic Tuscan cuisine, featuring traditional dishes and renowned wines.

Managed with passion in a family-friendly atmosphere, La Fonte del Machiavelli is the perfect retreat for anyone seeking a revitalizing break in the tranquility of the countryside, surrounded by history, nature, and unmistakable flavors.
