About

Podere Fontanino is an agriturismo on the outskirts of Arezzo, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, bringing together four rooms under one roof. With a capacity of eight to ten people, the property suits a close-knit group looking to share a stay without scattering across separate accommodations: a friends' birthday celebration, an extended family weekend, a small-scale professional retreat, or an intimate wedding.

The property's central asset is its host, Andrea. He cooks on-site and offers meals prepared with locally sourced ingredients — a practical advantage for groups who want to dine together without organizing restaurant logistics every evening. He also has an intimate knowledge of the surrounding area and steers guests toward local spots off the beaten path, something visitors consistently mention in their reviews.

The intimate nature of the property — just four rooms — is precisely what makes communal living easy: the shared spaces are not shared with strangers, the group sets its own pace, and the atmosphere remains that of a home rather than a hotel. The outdoor spaces offer enough room for time spent in the open air, whether lunching under the pergola or stretching out a summer evening.

The location adds another layer of versatility: Arezzo is quickly accessible for those who want to explore the city, and the surrounding Tuscan countryside — Cortona, the Val d'Orcia, the Chianti vineyards — is within easy reach. The property works equally well as a base for day trips or as a destination in its own right for groups who prefer to stay put.

With a rating of 5/5 across 95 Google reviews, the consistency of the experience is well-documented over time.

Fernando M.★★★★★

We stayed at Podere Fontanino this July and had a truly relaxing and memorable experience. The property is beautifully located just outside Arezzo, with only four rooms, which makes it feel intimate and peaceful. After hot days exploring the area, coming back to cool off in the lovely pool (with a view) was perfect. Our room was beautifully appointed, with great air conditioning (very welcome in summer), a comfortable bed, a great shower, and a mini bar stocked for convenience. Every morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with homemade pies, local specialties, made-to-order eggs, fresh juice and cappuccinos. What made the stay special was the warmth of Andrea, the owner, and his daughter. Andrea has the kind of energy that makes you feel like you're visiting an old friend. He was always happy to share great recommendations for places to visit, restaurants, and nearby landmarks, and we had some lovely, relaxed conversations with him throughout our stay. If you're looking for a no-frills, no-BS kind of place to unwind and enjoy the Tuscan countryside, this is it. We would absolutely go back and recommend it without hesitation.

Everything was perfectly clean. And the breakfasts were excellent!!! This was definitely not our last visit and we’re already looking forward to coming back! Many thanks to Andrea and Barbara for an amazing stay.

We had the most magical stay here last month. Andrea is an incredible cook, so hospitable, and made sure that we had a wonderful stay. His recommendations for things to do and places to go eat were also helpful. The property itself is truly unlike I've ever seen. It's so beautiful and we hope we can come back some day! The rooms were also so well stocked and beautiful. This felt like a truly luxurious experience.

Amazing stay! Andrea and his family are very welcoming, caring and hospitable. We've been provided with everything mentioned in the description and many extra since Andrea is very thoughtful and caring. Beautiful garden with stunning valley views. Perfectly clean and nice room with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Delicious breakfast made of fresh local products & great cakes made by Barbara. We arrived without a car, and it was a perfect location for us since there are couple of good restaurants available by walking and this agriturismo can be reached by Arezzo taxi as well. Wifi is fast. Nice infinity pool, sauna is also available. We enjoyed our stay and family hospitality. If you visit Arezzo and surroundings, we strongly recommend this agriturismo.
