Fontemaggio is spacious, airy and has the feeling of a well cared for and elegant family house.  The furnishings are neutral coloured throughout. Wireless internet connection is available both inside and in the grounds. 

The comfortable sitting room with tv, dvd and stereo system, has a library of glossy books on Italian art and culture, extensive holiday reading and a range of cds and dvds. The adjacent dining room, with original inglenook fireplace and chestnut refectory table, leads out to a large dining terrace with views to the surrounding hills and to the dramatic Renaissance castle of Lippiano. The kitchen and breakfast room, that opens on two sides to terraces, has marble worktops and a central island.  It is a blend of modern convenience and tradition. Cook’s love the professional range cooker and sharp Sabatier knives. There is an adjoining utility/ laundry room with washing machine.

Bedrooms and bathrooms have insect screens, electric fans and hairdryers. Two master bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes and en suite bathrooms, one with travertine wet room shower, the other with freestanding stone bath tub and travertine wet room shower.  The third master bedroom is in an extensive suite on its own floor with sitting room, en suite shower room and an additional independent entrance opening onto a vine covered terrace with table and chairs. Two bedrooms  can be made up as twin or double.  All bedrooms overlook the gardens and have views to the surrounding landscape.  Guests find it a perfect home from home in which to enjoy the pleasures of Italian life.
