La Fontanella is a traditional stone farmhouse located on the edge of the charming village of San Sano. Surrounded by vineyards and nestled in the rolling hills of Chianti, this inviting villa is ideal for a relaxing holiday with family or a small group of friends. The large garden offers a peaceful retreat with a private pool, a covered dining terrace, and wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.
Situated in the heart of the Chianti Classico, La Fontanella is perfectly placed for exploring the region's famous wineries, castles, and towns. Siena, San Gimignano, Florence, and Arezzo are all within easy reach for day trips. From the villa, you can walk to the centre of San Sano, where you’ll find a local restaurant and small grocery shop. The nearby village of Lecchi is also reachable on foot, while Gaiole is just 10 minutes away by car and offers further dining options, shops, a small COOP supermarket and bicycle rentals.
The villa is divided into two self-contained apartments, providing privacy for two families or groups while offering shared spaces for time together. The covered terrace is ideal for outdoor dinners, and the garden features a children’s play area, pizza oven and barbecue. The interior is cosy and authentic, with terracotta floors, wooden beamed ceilings and traditional Tuscan furnishings.
Please note that the owner lives in Siena but may occasionally spend a night during the summer in a small separate building on the property.
