Tranquil stay in boutique luxury hotel

We had an amazing experience in this hotel and this area of Chianti particularly. Fonte de Medici is truly small luxury hotel which provides anything you need. Rooms are very comfortable and clean in a beautiful settings where you can smell the pine trees and lavender. There is no need to keep the AC running all night as they have mosquito nets installed on windows and constant breeze cools the area every afternoon and night. The pool is amazing with plenty of sunbeds and natural shade. The property is set in the middle of one of the most famous vineyards in Italy and the whole property belongs to one of the oldest Tuscan noble families. Breakfast is very good but the service there is even better. On the very first day the ladies at the breakfast realised I was gluten free so they brought me many different gluten free choices. This basket of goods was repeated every following morning. Thank you!!! Please be aware that many Chianti hotels, especially the old villas, have deceitful pictures, many are badly decayed and they offer poor service for high money, but Fonte de Medici is run well and it is much better then what you can see on the photos. We are coming back definitely!

Great first impression but..

We booked a room for 6 nights using this hotel as a base to out Tuscan visit. Despite the fact that it is isolated and must have a car to get there, it is 20 minutes from the first town. The hotel has no lobby or place to read or relax except the basic dining area. The pool nice but freezing and no pool towels. The restaurant requires reservation despite the fact that it is basic and empty. Ahh Monday's it is closed and so you must get to somewhere to get anything. Wifi terrible. We left on the forth night very disappointed with the property owned by the wealthiest family in the region who must put more into this property.

Lost in the vineyards

The hotel is situated in the middle of wineries and rolling hills, it was not that easy to find, but we managed and the views and tranquility were definitely worth it. The service was spotless and we were greeted by a complimentary bottle of their wine, which was delicious and it was the perfect way of starting the holiday by sipping a glass of wine in front of the villa with views of the wine region. The rooms (and the entire hotel actually) were well kept and clean. Breakfast was good, and dinner was even better. Prices are fair, although not on the cheap side, but the quality is definitely worth it. The rooms were spacious (we had a separate living room) and the bathroom was clean and came with rain shower. What impressed us most about the place, was that they seem to have struck the perfect balance between modern room and ancient villa. What it means is that you get a historic place with romantic rooms (or houses almost) that are spotless, have a modern bathroom (but for example lack air conditioning, which was not a problem for us, but in hot summer might make nights a bit hot; also, the wifi was good but a bit spotty at times). The pool was nice, perfect for cooling down in the late afternoon. In general, this is a place to relax and take some nice trips to the Chianti region, which is picturesque and beautiful. But dont think you can explore all of Tuscany from here, even to Siena it is quite a drive. We will definitely recommend this place to friends

Wonderful location, staff, and restaurant!

The location was just what we were looking for from a break from the city. This countryside gem is hidden in the hills of Tuscany and offers gorgeous views and a secret creek if you're willing to venture on foot a little bit. Our villa was clean and simple and perfect for relaxing. The restaurant was delicious and homemade yogurt in the morning was excellent. My favorite part of our trip for sure!
