Villa La Fonte

If you look at the blurry photos from the 1980s, you can hardly recognise it, but Villa La Fonte was born from here, from a dream or a vision: to transform an old Tuscan farmhouse into an exclusive, charming home. Renovated by the Barsottini family, who have been builders for generations, Patrizia has become its protective deity, with the same passion for details and attention to the genius loci of this private corner of Tuscany.

Entering Villa La Fonte is a fascinating journey through the history of the objects that bring it to life; it’s the warmth and magic of detail, attentive reception, relaxing elegance. Patrizia remembers every antique market where she found this table or that china cabinet, this mirror or that collection of porcelain soup tureens that still represent big family lunches. Villa La Fonte is home, even when you are far from yours; it’s a secluded dream, where you can enjoy a vacation with family or friends.

The surrounding park guarantees the utmost privacy, even though in two minutes you can reach the Strada Volterrana, where the Via Francigena passes by; in just over five minutes you’re already in town, where you can go shopping, have a glass of wine in the square and take a cool evening stroll.

One comment from the guest book says, “We have come to ‘our’ beautiful house for a vacation for the third time”. That’s just how it is: you will immediately imagine it’s yours, even if you only stay a few days. We asked Patrizia if she was just a little jealous of her baby – maybe she is, but she hides it very well! You will feel at home here!
