Agriturismo Podere La Fonte
Ten minutes from the small medieval town of Radicondoli, at "Podere la Fonte" you will find agritourism hospitality in a small organic farm in the hills of Siena, with a view of Volterra and San Gimignano.
La Fonte is a small and ancient stone farmhouse, located on a slope of the hill on which the town of the Medieval castle of the Municipality of Radicondoli stretches, with views of Volterra, San Gimignano and many other castles and towns located on the neighboring hills.
Woods, pastures, vines, olive trees, fruit trees surround the farm which ranges almost "between earth and sky" and dominates the magnificent valley of the Cecina river.
The agriculture that is practiced at "Podere la Fonte" is organically run, with the production of cereals, grapes, olives, hay, fruit and vegetables, officinal plants. Part of the productions are transformed into the food laboratory set up in the company. The production of cereals, grapes, olives, hay, fruit and vegetables, medicinal plants, are controlled by ICEA (Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification).
Our agritourism activity is now twenty years old. Already in the 80s when the farm was not yet known we had requests for a holiday in the countryside. With care we continue to take care of the restoration and maintenance of the entire stone and brick building which forms the heart of the whole farm.
The agricultural activity that is carried out at the Fonte is mainly intended for the production of products that serve the self-sufficiency of the farm and the home.
We have 2 apartments for 2 people, well equipped for all seasons, or 6 double / twin rooms with private bathroom. It is also possible to rent two communicating rooms with shared bathroom.
