Villa Fontechiara
Villa Fontechiara is a luxurious Tuscan retreat, located near the charming town of Monterchi, on the border between Umbria and Tuscany. With a private pool, heated outdoor jacuzzi, and breathtaking views over rolling hills and ancient forests, the villa is an ideal base for those seeking relaxation and proximity to Tuscany's most celebrated art cities, including Cortona and Arezzo.
Dating back to 1785, Villa Fontechiara has retained the charm of its historical origins, enriched with frescoes by local artist Luigi Puletti, but at the same time offers modern comfort. Surrounded by 25 hectares of parkland with centuries-old oaks, cypresses and a one-hectare rose garden, the property invites guests to enjoy the authentic Tuscan landscape. The outdoors is enhanced by a panoramic swimming pool, pergolas with vines and beautifully lit gardens, perfect for summer evenings with a glass of local wine.
Thanks to its strategic location, Villa Fontechiara is a great base for exploring small Umbrian villages, Renaissance art cities and the culinary treasures of the Tuscan countryside. Its elegant interior, rich history, and exceptional facilities make it an unforgettable place for families and friends alike.
