Il Fontanaro takes the concept of Agriturismo to a whole new level. The 19th-century farmhouse has been in the Verdacchi family for over thirty years, first being restored into a country home and organic farm, then being expanded into a luxury farm-stay destination of 5 villas, infinity pools, and Umbrian foodie activities. The family is passionate about sharing the pleasures of the good life they have created so families who stay here are in for a treat. They've recently expanded their farm offering giving guests more locations to enjoy in this beautiful Italian village.
Where Umbria and Tuscany blur together in a mass of rolling hills, vivid sunflower fields, and glowing sunsets, Il Fontanaro estate is as quintessentially Italian as they come. As a farm, over 2000 olive trees are nurtured to produce one of Umbria’s finest organic olive oils which guests are invited to see being milled and sample at a tasting with the owner Alina. There’s a small vineyard of ancient Sangiovese grapes and Il Fontanaro has an extensive wine cellar where grown-ups can have a tutored tasting of rare vintages. Guests can help themselves to fresh figs, veg, and tomatoes, try the owners’ wildflower honey and learn the secrets of Umbrian cooking with Lucia’s courses for adults and fun lessons for children on making perfect pizza or pasta. The heart of Il Fontanaro is the owners’ fine stone farmhouse and two separate luxury villas set amongst grassy lawns, shady trees slung with hammocks, scented English roses, seasonal fruit, and vegetables.
Tartagli is the latest development for the owners of Il Fontanaro, comprising 3 luxury apartments for 2, 4 or 6 people and a 14m x 6m infinity swimming pool, surrounded by olive groves between the farm and the village of Paciano. The apartments have been sensitively finished in the traditional Umbrian style of cosy colours, raftered ceilings, and antique furnishings, plus all mod cons include Sky TV, Wi-fi, IPod speaker and air-con. The apartments have well-equipped kitchens, modern bathrooms, large living areas, and spacious bedrooms, plus 100’s of toys and helpful baby equipment make them ideal for families to experience the best of Umbria in comfort and style. Best of all, guests can add a range of extras from their stay, including cookery lessons, olive oil tasting, and a wine tour at Il Fontanaro, or a private chef for a luxury in-villa dining experience.
'Villa Tartagli' is a full rental option, which is perfect for multi-family or multi-generation groups looking for a private villa experience with an added sense of space. Accompanying grandparents, friends or parents with a babe in arms can get some privacy in the one-bed apartment while larger families can split between the two and three-bedroom apartments. The private garden, terrace, and infinity pool will act as the hub of the home where everyone can come together, relax and unwind under the Italian sun.
Sangiovese (sleeps 2 + 1 infant) is a pretty one-bedroom cottage perfectly suited to small families of two adults and a baby or child.
