OVERVIEW
IL Fontanaro, the Country Slow Living in Italy: Holiday Villas, Organic Olives & Grape Estate and Culinary School
The Country Slow Living estate has five luxury locations, all with infinity salty swimming pool, full AC and full WIFI and can accommodate up to 50 persons. They are Fontanaro, Tartaglia, Fontegirasole, Fonte della Pace and Fonte Cicerum. The main farmhouse, Fontanaro, was built in 1893, beautifully restored with modern comforts and is where the cooking classes and wine and olive oil tastings take place. It is surrounded by a large grass lawn with lemon trees, an extensive collection of old English roses, a great variety of flowers and a vegetable garden. There are few places where you can find serenity, explore medieval hill towns, Etruscan art, and historic cities, and enjoy great food and extraordinarily welcoming hosts.
