FONTE DE MEDICI

POSITION - Hill/Country

FEATURES - Fonte de’ Medici is comprised of three clusters of wholly restructured and newly equipped farmhouses surrounded by vineyards. The name itself goes back to 1400 when travelers between Florence and Siena would rest and drink from the spring that still passes through the village of Santa Maria a Macerata before continuing on their journey to the nearby Badia a Passignano, then a powerful Benedictine monastery.

The heart of Fonte’ de Medici is in this small historical village characteristic of the Chianti countryside, with its houses made of stone, brightly colored plaster walls, and little central square and chapel. Here you will find the reception, restaurant, tennis and swimming pool that complement the apartments, everything surrounded by nature and facing the vineyards of Tignanello and further away the Valley of the Pesa.
Five apartments are found within the same structure that houses the reception while two more are located apart. Crossing the street that goes through the village one finds more apartments, the conference room which can hold up to 80 people.The Podere Tignanello is located 800 m. from Borgo di Santa Maria and overlooks the vineyards that give life to the renown wine. The large stone farm-house, a building of historical importance in the area, is surrounded by gardens and has a breathtaking view of the Pesa Valley.

ACCOMMODATION - All of the 29 apartments (From 1 to 6 beds accommodations) have their own entries, outdoor private spaces (verandas or gardens), terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams, incredibly comfortable bathrooms, and fully well-equipped kitchens.
Some of the apartments also have wide exterior areas with barbecue grills and large fireplaces.
In every case, the furnishings and structure of the apartments reflect the Tuscan spirit and distinctive personality that a historical estate should have.

FACILITIES - Fonte de Medici provides a conference room seating up to 80, Tennis/ footbal field with synthetic grass, swimming pool, and areas where it is possible to relax in a Turkish bath and sauna, and a fitness studio (under construction).
