Il Fontino

Stays and experiences on our family’s property, between Florence and Siena

The Villetta

A Peaceful Base in Tuscany

The Villetta is the only guest house on our family’s property, open to visitors for the first time in 40 years. It sits just far enough from our home to feel like a world of its own, tucked behind a tall hedge, with olive trees all around and views over the hills.

Sleeps 6: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a sofa bed
Full kitchen and washing machine
AC in both bedrooms and the living room, so you sleep cool in summer. Heat in every room and a large fireplace.
Starlink WiFi and free parking
Seasonal pool, open late May through early September

They are everywhere. Throw a rock and you will hit one. We have our favorites. Just ask us.

SUMMER EVENINGS

Tuesdays in Tavarnelle

The historic center comes alive with artisans, food stalls, live music, and locals out late.

A car is essential. All roads to the property are paved.

The Property

400 Olive Trees and Room to Wander

The olive groves, meadows, creek, pool, and grounds are yours to enjoy. Only our home is private. Keep an eye out for deer, fox, or even a badger. During the day, the sound of church bells from the hilltop carry down into the valley. At night, it is completely quiet.

Experiences

Aperitivo on the Property

Your Hosts

We Live Here

We are Damian and Jenna, and we live on the property with our family. There is no management company, so when you reach out, you are talking to us. We give you your space, but we are close by if you need anything, and we are happy to point you to restaurants, wineries, and places most visitors never find. Don't be surprised if we invite you to dinner.
