Farm-house La Fonte (Pienza)

Description La Fonte

As you get closer along the track, with the heat of the sun on your back, what you really notice are the colours – the red tiles, the ocre coloured stones, the blue of the swimming pool and the green trees. All this is surrounded by an intense yellow in summer and a vivid green in spring. Both the farmhouse and the swimming pool look out over the spectacular landscape of the Crete Senesi and you feel as though you are relaxing on a never-ending terrace. In the distance you can see as far as Montalcino and Mount Amiata. Behind the farmhouse there is a wood with oak and cypress trees, in front of it the broom bushes flower and there is a spring which has provided fresh drinking water for the people of Pienza since the beginning of the last century. Time seems to stand still and the way of life is slower. The farmhouse is built of squared stones and dates back to 1400, each tiny detail reveals the care and love which the Raggi family have put into its restoration. In the past, rural tradition meant that the farmhouses were inhabited by more than one family so this home was easily converted into four apartments sleeping 2 or 4 people. They are all extremely well furnished but at the same time you will feel as though you have stepped back in time. In front of the main building and set in the spacious garden is the floodlit swimming pool where guests can spend magical moments both by day and night.
