Castello di Fonterutoli offers cosy accommodation as part of its historic wine estate which dates back hundreds of years starting from the 1400s. With grounds spanning nearly 1,600 acres (650 hectares) it is located near Castellina in Chianti in the heart of the Chianti Classico region.
Sixteen suites and rooms spread over five houses inside the ancient walls of Fonterutoli provide guests with an opportunity to savour the ageless charms of a Tuscan borgo. The hotel presents a truly traditional Tuscan feel and guests staying here in the heart of the estate will feel like they are living in a real Tuscan country village.
Each room has been restored to represent authentic Tuscan style by the family architect, Agnese Mazzei. All rooms boast their own unique personalities and you will find charming, comfortable bedrooms complete with en-suite bathrooms, beautiful views, and panoramic terraces with stunning countryside landscapes views to marvel at.
In the surrounding areas there are plenty of outdoor activities to try including hiking, biking and horseback riding which you hosts will happily help you to organise if needed.
Wine tours of the property’s spectacular winery, wine tastings as well as visits to nearby villages and towns, local farms, factories and artisan shops can be organised, plus if you want to learn the secrets of delicious Tuscan cooking you can even try cooking classes.
The hotel boasts its own gourmet restaurant, the Osteria di Fonterutoli, where guests can enjoy a traditional Tuscan dining experience. The menu changes every few weeks to reflect the seasonality of local produce to provide the freshest and most delicious ingredients to your plate.
There is a modern, intimate country-style indoor dining area as well as an outside terrace with views of olive groves, vineyards, and the rolling Tuscan countryside - the perfect accompaniment to a sumptuous dinner.
This hotel is perfect for wine lovers who want to immerse themselves in a true Tuscan lifestyle and be able to explore the wine scene at the same time.
