À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

Toscane: Maison de campagne du XVIIe sur colline - piscine privée - superbe vue

Fontemaggio is a 17th century stone farmhouse villa set on a hillside, surrounded by 2 acres of mature landscaped gardens that merge into the sunflowers, vines, olives, pine and cypress trees beyond. There are terraces on all sides, each with its own dining table and breathtaking views of a landscape that seems to have changed little throughout the centuries, including a lake and a Renaissance castle on a hill. Sympathetically restored, the house retains a wealth of terracotta floors and chestnut beams. The 30 ft diameter circular pool, surrounded by fragrant rosemary hedging and lemon trees, benefits from the sun for the entire day. Set amongst mature pines, cypress and olives, it enjoys tranquil views of the Tuscan and Umbrian hills in complete seclusion. The medieval hilltop village of Monterchi, featured in 'The Most Beautiful Villages in Tuscany', is close by. You will find Casa Fontemaggio a blissfully relaxing home from home in which to enjoy the pleasures of Italian life.

The house
Fontemaggio is spacious, airy and has the feeling of a well cared for and elegant family house. The furnishings are in calm neutrals throughout. Wireless internet connection is available both inside and in the grounds. The comfortable sitting room with tv, dvd and stereo system, has a library of glossy books on Italian art and culture, extensive holiday reading and a range of cds and dvds. The adjacent dining room, with original inglenook fireplace and chestnut refectory table, leads out to a large dining terrace with views to the surrounding hills and to the dramatic Renaissance castle of Lippiano. The kitchen and breakfast room, that opens on two sides to terraces, has marble worktops and a central island. It is a blend of modern convenience and tradition. Cook's love the professional range cooker and sharp Sabatier knives. There is an adjoining utility/ laundry room with washing machine.
All bedrooms and bathrooms have propeller fans and insect screens. Two master bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes and en suite bathrooms, one with travertine wet room shower, the other with freestanding stone bath tub and travertine wet room shower. The third master bedroom is in an extensive suite on its own floor with sitting room, en suite shower room and an additional independent entrance opening onto a vine covered terrace with table and chairs. The fourth bedroom is twin. One of the master bedrooms can also be made up as a twin. All overlook the gardens and have views to the surrounding landscape. Guests find it a perfect home from home in which to enjoy the pleasures of Italian life.

Covid 19 sanitisation standards are applied throughout the property.

Please note that central heating is usually required from October to April and is not included in the rental price. It is charged at the current market rate for the amount used, as measured by the meter readings at the start and end of your stay.

The gardens and grounds
The pool is cleaned and chemically balanced twice weekly. A robot is available for extra cleaning.
The gardens and grounds have been professionally landscaped and contain planting typical of Tuscany. Trees include some very old pines and almonds, cypresses, olives, acacias, oaks, figs and lemons in terracotta pots. There are box, lavender and rosemary hedges. The terraces have pergolas covered in vines and wisteria. Chilean bell-flowers, jasmine and roses climb on the house walls. A tiled loggia provides a shady retreat and alternative place to dine. The tranquil sound of running water is provided by a fountain

Location
Although peaceful and idyllic, Fontemaggio is not remote. It is well placed to enjoy the excellent cuisine and wines of the region and take trips to the historical and cultural sites of both Tuscany and Umbria. The timeless hill top village of Lippiano, crowned by the castle that can be viewed from Fontemaggio, may be walked to for a drink at the friendly bar. 3 km away, the hilltop village of Monterchi, a tiny triangle of medieval perfection, with its intriguing arches and alleyways, is Roman in origin.
You will find the local community in Monterchi welcoming and friendly. There are bars and good restaurants serving local specialities.
On Sunday mornings there is a market and in the summer there are outdoor concerts.
Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Cortona, Assisi, Perugia, Gubbio and more are all within easy reach.

A wonderful vacation

Ever since I saw the movie “Under the Tuscan Sun” it was my dream to travel to Italy and to stay in a house like the one in the movie. FonteMaggio was a dream come true! The house is beautiful and the pool is amazing. The kitchen is fully equipped and the views surrounding the house are beautiful. The host was very kind and provided us a welcoming basket with fruits and snacks.

Tucked Away in Tuscany

My family and friends thoroughly enjoyed our week’s stay at Fontemaggio near the Tuscany and Umbria border. The property is exactly as depicted in the photos - absolutely stunning - and our Host/Owner was exceptional. It’s a quiet location with views of castles, working farms and old ruins. Spectacular! Day trips to Siena, Florence, Arezzo among others were easily completed plus 2 local wine tastings. Just lovely!

A classic Tuscan Villa

We had a lovely time with very pleasant weather. The villa is well appointed and comfortable. Sylvia was a discrete but very helpful host. The villa is very well sited for touring the Tuscany / Umbria borders The only negative were the mosquitoes that do come with the territory but (probably due to climate change) were particularly noticeable in the early evenings

A Lovely Week

Sylvia’s house is well described, in print and photos. It is old and well maintained. Art, travel, fiction and non, are in abundance. Rooms are pretty and nicely furnished. The swimming pool offered important relief from the unusual heat. It is surrounded by foliage. Area restaurants offered excellent food in attractive settings. The house owner, Sylvia, offered terrific hospitality.

Beautiful Tuscan villa

My wife and two adult children stayed at Fontemaggio for 10 glorious days mid September. Sylvia our host and the owner of the property was fantastic! She has done a wonderful job keeping the integrity of the villa, which is stunning! The exterior landscaping and pool are gorgeous as well. There are many things to do and small hilltop towns to visit within a short drive from the property. We really enjoyed being in the countryside and would highly recommend! Thanks again Sylvia for sharing your beautiful property.

Fantastic stay at this beautiful home

Amazing house, even more beautiful than the pictures on line suggest. Sylvia was friendly and her love for the house and its gardens is evident. The views from the main terrace are stunning, we sat there every evening reading and playing games. Follow the simple rules and the house is lovely and cool. Our children loved the pool, as did we! There are lots of fantastic restaurants clise by but im an avid cook so visiting the local grocery shops and cooking in the kitchen was heavenly to me. Cant recommend enough, tranquil, wonderfully equipped, we will be back!

Beautiful rustic gem

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our 10-day stay at Casa Fontemaggio. The house is charming, spacious and comfortable. The gardens and multiple outdoor eating areas are beautiful with amazing views. The pool is also lovely and is a great feature on hot days. The house is on a hillside surrounded by trees and is very private yet close to many towns that one can explore. The owner, Sylvia, welcomed us when we arrived and provided us with a very informative e-mailed guide of the surrounding area. Great experience!

Little paradise in Tuscany

Our family spent a splendid week in May at SylviaÂŽs gorgeous house tucked away on a beautiful and idyllic Tuscan hillside, overlooking a luscious valley with an old castle on the hilltop. The charming house is spacious, has 4 large, comfortable and beautifully decorated bedrooms, a welcoming living room with beautiful books on literature, art and film, a kitchen to die for, with all mod cons but still with a rustic feel. There are various terraces around the house, providing privacy if needed, and a nice pool. The surrounding area is beautiful and Monterchi is a perfect starting point for trips to Arezzo, Assisi and Siena. Or for walks and cycling trips in the area. Sylvia is a lovely lady, very helpful, welcoming and funny. So, a little bit of paradise on earth, the perfect spot for celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. The only problem was: nobody wanted to go home!

Cornerstone of an amazing adventure!

Marvelous in every way! The accommodations were spacious and well appointed, the location perfect and the host helpful and quick to react to any needs. The views are breathtaking from the many sitting areas, nearby villages were so much fun to explore, ample opportunities to walk with little traffic. The host provides a guide a month before you come that was our bible. Her recommendations were spot on and super helpful. Although we made trips into Florence and vineyards over an hour away , we found the villages nearby to have also been highlights of the trip. We found restaurants and general food purchases to be very reasonable in cost and high in quality. Overall
 a trip we will never forget and the location and accommodation were key to the experience!

Gorgeous property the only negative was that there was no air conditioning in the bedrooms, the extremely hot summer made the rooms unbearably hot and sleep was very difficult in the top floor bedrooms my friends had to sleep in the basement which was the coolest bedroom. Fans were provided however it was still very hot.

Tuscan Idyll

The property is tucked away at the top of a steepish driveway which means it is very quiet and secluded. The property itself was very clean and well presented and had all the equipment needed for a great holiday. The building was typically higgledy piggledy given it’s age and that increased the appeal - we spent the week discovering nooks and crannies. There are a variety of outdoor spaces where you can choose to eat, depending on the weather and time of day. The host, Sylvia, was very welcoming and quick to deal with any minor issues that came up. She made herself available but was not intrusive at all. Sylvia was a font of local and regional knowledge and we tapped her up for ideas whilst we were there. Will definitely consider coming back

"beyond my wildest fantasies"

Fontemaggio was even more beautiful than both the description and photos and the surrounding countryside was spectacular . The villa offers a magical escape with miles of walks and views as well as being set in an area that is rich in history, art, fabulous food and wine. We were given a lovely welcome basket on arrival and never stopped feeling overwhelmed by the attention and care with which the villa had been designed and decorated both inside and in the surrounding gardens. The excursions and restaurants in the visitor's booklet were exceptional and we were grateful for and learned to depend on all the recommendations. Not only would I highly recommend a stay at Fontemaggio to everyone but I would happily return anytime. When I asked a travelling companion if she wanted to contibute to the description she said that "beyond my wildest dreams" pretty well sums it up.

Unique Villa

We had a great time even though the weather wasn’t the best. Sylvia was very helpful, we appreciated the welcome basket and fresh flowers and her recommendations. The kitchen could use some new knives. But overall a very unique home with a lot of character. Just an FYI. If you plan on wine tasting it is by appointment only and not always available. Another FYI was that if it is cold you will have to pay extra to turn the heater on, which is covered in the contract. It cost approximately 65 euro for the five days to run the heat for a few hours each of the five nights.

Beautiful property

We (2 couples) enjoyed our time in the villa. The area is quiet and peaceful. The layout of the house provided us with privacy and solitude when needed and space to gather together as well. The outside areas are particularly dreamy with views and and attractive trees/flowers all around. Sylvia is very responsive and helpful host giving us lots of advice and suggestions. The walks from the property are really nice with views in all directions. The weather was not ideal while we were there so we didn’t spend as much time dining outdoors as we would have liked. If you come outside the summer I suggest slippers or extra socks. I was very glad I brought mine! We also really enjoyed the dinner arranged with the chef and Cinzia the housekeeper. It was very special and we all had a great time. The entire area is beautiful with a million things to see. I’d love to go back!

Wonderful experience

Sylvia and Bepo, we cannot thank you enough for sharing your beautiful villa, property and hospitality with our entire family. If my wife had not found your place I most likely would have never visited this corner of Italy. The small towns which surrounded us, Monterchi, and Citerna for instance were so quaint and welcoming, and the people that we met on our travels, as well as, thru your introductions made for a memorable and unforgettable experience. We also managed great day trips from the villa to different vineyards, and historical towns and other sites. The villa itself, with its breathtaking vistas and wonderful landscaping is just beautiful, and considering the history that the building has seen just boggles the mind. Everything worked well, and we did not feel as though we were wanting for anything except some more time there, and possibly to take Bepo home with us. Obviously for me to have my entire family together would make any trip special, but staying at your beautiful villa with you and Bepo only a phone call away made the trip much more memorable. We certainly hope to be back in the future, and look forward to spending more time with you again. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for a trip that will provide memories for a lifetime. Sincerely jack and kim. Metzner

Magnificent home and location

We are incredibly grateful to Sylvia and her sweet pup Beppo for hosting us at Casa Fontemaggio for a week. What a marvellous home full of history with all the modern conveniences a family needs built in. Our family (2 adults, 3 boys aged 8-12) enjoyed every aspect of this home, from the comfortable and clean living spaces, the well appointed kitchen, the fireplace, the warm and cozy beds, the many outdoor spots to eat or read, and even the pool despite the cooler weather. The views in every direction were spectacular (the photos are wonderful but cannot do the live views justice) and the gardens were colourful and fragrant. We also found it easy to explore the area, with sights and activities to be found in every direction (and Sylvia providing a helpful binder and lots of guidebooks to help). We drove to Arezzo and caught a train to Florence, a perfect day trip. We walked into Lippiani from the house and enjoyed meals in every village close by. The ancient town of Anghiari is not to be missed. Our boys found the local soccer (football!) pitch in Lippiani and even connected with some local kids for a game. It was also easy to wile away a day at the house itself, reading, heading out for walks in search of lizards and poppies, lounging by the pool or just sitting and taking in the views. I cannot say enough about this home. I slept like I haven’t in years - thanks to the quiet, the fresh air, the birds. Everything. What a special place. We hope to return soon!

Seeing is believing - the perfect dolce vita!

Having rented holiday properties in Italy for 15 years, I have to say that this is the best villa we have stayed in. Our expectations were high and the reality more than exceeded them.We were welcomed by Sylvia to an immaculately clean and beautifully presented property. The house has been sensitively and tastefully restored with a blend of historic features and modern facilities, including 3 beautiful spacious master bedrooms and stunning travertine bathrooms.The kitchen is well laid out, with marble worktops, and quality equipment.The gardens and pool are paradise. It was heavenly to swim surrounded by rosemary hedging and scented jasmine. There are several beautiful terraces with tables and chairs. The main terrace has a breathtaking panoramic view to Lippiano Castle and the hills beyond. We loved evening aperitivi on the lounge seating taking in the stunning views. Picking fresh lemons for G&Ts was a first!The wildlife is amazing.We heard nightingales and saw hare and deer. The property, although on its own track and surrounded by landscape, is only a few minutes by car from the village.There are lots of local gems to discover and it was easy to take the train to Florence for the day. Sylvia provides a fantastic guide with recommendations of where to visit and everything we tried was worthwhile.I cannot recommend this property more highly. My only regret is that we did not stay longer. We look forward to returning next year. Thank you Sylvia and thank you Fontemaggio.
