From the design of the interior to the cultivation methods, everything has been planned according to ecologically sustainable construction and agriculture principles. For example: the bedrooms are electrosmog-free meaning there aren’t any elctromagnetic fields emitted from unused electrical circuits. The interiors have been weatherproofed using green and eco-friendly building materials. The roofs were built to allow air to circulate and so maintain the ideal interior temperature: the roofs were entirely insulated using recycled cork. Solar panels located above the wine making shop produce hot water. Wine and olives are cultivated with environmental, low impact techniques that, once we have a better understanding of the dynamics of the land and the region, will permit us to achieve “Organic Farm” status.
Fontanelle is without doubt one of our loveliest Tuscan properties. It is located to the west of Montalcino, an area renowned for its beauty and for its wines, especially the famous Brunello di Montalcino. The property is in a spectacular position, surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, cypresses and with views of the surrounding hills. The house has recently been restored and furnished to an exceptionally high standard by the owner, a well-known Italian interior designer. The house has been featured in several books and magazines, including House and Garden, Elle Decor and Tuscany Interiors. The rooms have been painted and furnished throughout in warm yellows and terracottas, which blend perfectly with the brick tiled floors, exposed beams and sunny open spaces. The magnificent living room with vaulted ceilings opens to the rear of the house to a pretty terrace with vines, pots of flowers and views over the countryside. Off this terrace is a covered dining terrace, also with wonderful views.
