We travelled all around Tuscany and Umbria and this was without doubt our favourite location and property we visited. The setting was amazing and you'd struggle to find nicer hosts globally let alone in Italy. We also did the cooking class, which was informative and incredibly enjoyable. We learnt so many skills to take home but was also one of the highlights of our trip! I wouldnt hesitate to recommend staying here if its available and will be booking ASAP for our return!

Had an amazing cooking class this morning at Fontanara Slow Cooking school. After picking fresh tomatoes in their gorgeous fruit and vegetable garden, we had an olive oil tasting and then learned how to make different sorts of pasta’s and 2 desserts. To end with a great lunch, eating all the food we prepared, and more, accompanied by the Fontanara wine and topped with some coffee and limoncello. After that we had an explanation about the production of the olive oil and were able to walk around the garden. Thank you Fontanara team, for the great experience and your hospitality!

The most beautiful Villas in Umbria or Tuscany. A great location to base your Tuscany and Umbria exploration, Lucia is the best hostess! Lucia and her excellent team helped with all of our reservations to restaurants, wineries, and renting a car for local travel. Lucia is very well connected throughout Italy and can help you have an extraordinary experience. The staff takes care of the little details that make for a unique experience of a lifetime. Some examples, they provided coffee, milk, eggs, pasta, sauce and amenities to get you started. Rodrigo also started a fire in the woodstove at the villa while we were out at dinner! What a treat to come back to during a chilly night! The organic olive farm is a special place with amazing views. I also did the cooking class with Chef Alina right at the villa and I learn so much. She also shared the recipes so I can cook them at home afterwards.

Had the most wonderful visit to Umbria and Il Fontanaro in March. Perfect weather, perfect temperature, perfect everything ! Learned so much about olive oil and the process. Highly recommend.

GRAZIE MILLE DI TUTTO! We had a truly special and unforgettable experience at Il Fontanaro. We loved absolutely everything - the accommodations of Frantoio, the pool, the farm and garden, the cooking class, the very special olive oil, wine, honey, and all of the interactions we had with The family and staff. Thank you for sharing with us your history, passion and work - i nostri ringraziamenti!! In a book about hiking Umbria, we read about a beautiful hike to take in Paciano - to our surprise, we could start/end the hike right from Il Fontanaro's driveway! The sunset at Madrevite was out of this world, thank you for suggesting it to us!! And - the truffle hunt (and lunch afterwards featuring our finds!) you arranged for us at Seven Cafe was extra extra special! We are dreaming of our return already

Super lovely place to stay at!!! Located at the foot of Paciano ( very cute town) and Panicale - also very cute! Very peaceful location. Beautiful salt water pool. Very clean rooms/ suites. We are staying at Sassicaia. There are two full bathrooms in our unit. It’s very well equipped with everything you need. The owners are very nice and caring too! Our stay is 11 nights! We are a family of five. July 9-20th, 2022.

This location along with their other suites at their olive farm, are surrounded by the most beautiful Landscapes. The host and her associates can easily be contacted for recommendations. Love love love the place, the village and the people.

We stayed at the 1 bedroom villa (Leccino) which is located right on the homestead of an amazing olive farm. The villa and amenities were amazing and had everything we could have wanted. The picturesque views is amazing and the location perfect for seeing the Umbria/Tuscany area, the hosts were superb!!! Lucia didn’t just make sure all of our needs were looked after (including making our dinner reservations and excursions), they went above and beyond for us. They actually made us feel part of their family. We enjoyed wine with them and a meal as well. The cooking class offered onsite by a professional chef was the icing on the cake. Not only would we recommend staying at one of their 11 properties in the region, we plan to go back again and will be booking very soon once our dates are confirmed! Thank you for such a wonderful experience
