La Fonte, our quaint little west facing cottage for two people.
It offers a queen size bedroom, a modern bathroom and a small old style “madia” - a typical piece of Tuscan furniture where families used to keep bread - that has been adapted into a micro kitchenette with a frigo-bar and induction cook top. It is not suitable for guests that want to cook elaborate dishes, but is functional for preparing a light meal. Outdoors this cottage features a large private terraced area for dining al fresco or simply relax under the Tuscan sun with the swimming pool and gazebo close by. La Fonte is our smaller cottage and can only cater for two guests. For larger groups it can be offered with Il Risveglio.
