Area countryside
A Bed and Breakfast in the Machiavelli's old estate.
Old country house in Fontalle, accurately re built, belonged to Niccolò Machiavelli, refined and particular in its style, it is located in the heart of Chianti Classico close to Florence in Sant'Andrea in Percussina (San Casciano Val di Pesa), where the famous writer of Florence lived.
Silent rooms with a view of the Tuscan countryside
The Bed and Breakfast la Fonte del Machiavelli is located in this splendid setting, provides lovely well-furnished rooms, in Tuscan style, with ensuite bathrooms, air conditioned and equipped with satellite Tv, that overlook on the beautiful sorrounding view. In the morning you will wake up by birds song and admire all around cultivated fields, olive trees, cypresses, vineyards, green hills where here and there a stone farmhouse emerges. During summer you will have a good start of the day with a rich breakfast on the panoramic terrace and in the evening fall asleep among fireflies and crickets. A holiday close to nature, in the silent of Tuscan countryside, where you can regenerate, far from the confusion of the city. The family-run B&B's owners are professional and fond of, and they will receive you with warmth and helpfulness.
The swimming pool: haven of peace
The accommodation facility is enhanced by the enchanting swimming pool with solarium swathed in greenery, to sunbathe undisturbed, or to relax under the shadow of an olive tree, with the scent of grapes that arouses your senses.
A B&B in a strategic place to visit Tuscany.
Our bed & breakfast is in Fontalle, in the centre of Tuscany, in the neighbourhood of many places of historical and artistic interest, such as Florence, 15 minutes drive, and San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra, Pisa, Lucca, reachable in short time. The short-distance freeway allow to reach quickly by car all the most famous art cities of Tuscany, spending a day or half-day trip. To all those who love "slow holiday", from the close city of San Casciano some of the most scenic streets start, that lead to towns and historical villages of Chianti: Panzano, Greve in Chianti, Radda, Castellina in Chianti. Renowned lands for the beautiful landscapes, for the richness of art and architectural treasures and for the excellent wine. To ride with the motorbike or even with the Vespa, stopping over to admire the landscape or for a wine tasting.
In the evening if you don't feel like doing too many km, in the vicinity of b&b within easy reach, you will find many restaurants and trattoria, to taste the Tuscan cooking.

Buona sera, sono felice per il Vostro apprezzamento grazie. Cordiali Saluti Simone Calonaci




Good evening, thank you for your review, I do not understand, in all portals it is reported that children under 04 do not pay, over 04 pay a supplement of €. 25.00 which includes a single bed, breakfast and everything else in the B&B, the price you had was for a double room for two people, the B&B.it portal told me that you hadn't entered children over 04 years old and for this reason the price was for a double room, we don't want to deceive anyone, we are here to work and we try to do things as correctly as possible. Best regards Simone Calonaci

Buona sera, grazie per il Vostro apprezzamento, la strada sarà risistemata all'apertura della cava della ghiaia, purtroppo con i temporali sempre più forti diventa difficile in Agosto che sono tutti chiusi tenere la strada sterrata al meglio. Cordiali Saluti Simone Calonaci.

Bonjour, je m'excuse pour le retard dans la réponse, merci pour l'examen, il est juste en bas de la rue a été une longue pratique commune qui nous a donné aucune chance de le fixer définitivement, rendant le travail continu sans avoir à rien parce que c'était juste un «averse revint pire qu'avant, maintenant que nous avons résolu le problème, après 7 ans de la ville nous a donné la permission de faire la route en béton avec un grain de couleur jaune, rendant la manière la plus appropriée de faire une promenade pittoresque, et parcourue par voiture ou vélo en toute sécurité avec des voitures à faible ou vélo de rue. Cordialement, Simone Calonaci.


Buon giorno, mi scuso per il ritardo nella risposta, grazie per la recensione, ha ragione per la strada è stata una lunga pratica comunale che non ci dava la possibilità di sistemarla in modo definitivo, facendo continui lavori senza arrivare a niente perché appena veniva un'acquazzone ritornava peggio di prima, oggi abbiamo risolto il problema, dopo 7 anni il comune ci ha dato il permesso di fare la strada in cemento con graniglia colorata gialla, rendendo la strada adatta per fare una passeggiata panoramica, e percorribile in macchina o in moto in tutta sicurezza anche con macchine basse o moto da strada. Cordiali Saluti, Simone Calonaci.
