This luxury Tuscan farmhouse called “Fonte Senesi” lies in the wonderful Val d'Orcia (protected area by UNESCO since 1996), the valley of the Siennese clay hills in southern Tuscany.
Born as an old farmhouse built in 1846, Fonte Senesi today is a small jewel to discover: exposed wooden beams, wrought iron, terracotta floors, antique chest of drawers make it a comfortable 'refuge', for our very lucky guests.

Francesca Gavelli purchased this farmhouse in 1964
This property was passed down through the generation. My grandfather was bought, becouse they loved this area and this house.
There are a lot of benefits to stay here but maybe the most important one is that whenever you open the farmhouse' windows you will see unique landscapes in the world as Pienza, Montepulciano, Val d'Orcia...
this would not trade it with anything else in the world..
Monticchiello is located a few miles away from the major art historians such as Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino. You can take walks in the beautiful Val d'Orcia, see green hills and tuscany cypress.
