Fontebruna, situated on the edge of a characteristic hamlet of pre-Etruscan origin, is an ancient farmhouse dating back to the 19th century.
The valleys flanking the farmhouse, the Valdichiana and the Valdorcia (declared patrimony of UNESCO 2004) hold the suggestive fascination which has always spellbound visitors.
Soft, undulating hills, breathtaking views, cypress lined country roads, vineyards producing the world renowned wines of Brunello di Montalcino and Nobile di Montepulciano, fields of sun flowers reaching the horizon, Romanesque churches and perfectly intact medieval villages will be your destinations.
The property has been recently renovated and transformed into a charming holiday home, offering four romantic bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, tastefully furnished following criteria of best comfort and elegant simplicity; a pleasant corner for your conversation and times of relaxations is afforded by two spacious lounges with an open fireplace.
In the fully equipped kitchen you can prepare breakfast and cook typical Tuscan dishes. There is a small library of books for your consultation and other material to further your knowledge of Tuscany and its traditions.
The villa is provided with an extensive private garden offering shaded furnished area for eating and relaxing “al fresco”, as well as an inviting swimming pool (11 X 4 X 1.40 m.) for the exclusive use of the guests.
Thanks to the nearby A1 Motorway (15 km) as well as the Chiusi Railway station ( 20 km) Fonte Vetriana is ideally situated for daily trips to the most important cultural and tourist centres in both Tuscany and Umbria.
The small town of Sarteano, offering all kinds of facilities, is at just 6 km from the villa.
