Paul & Colette are getting married

We chose Hotel Le Fontanelle as our venue because, from the moment we arrived, we could imagine ourselves surrounded by family and friends celebrating our wedding. With stunning views, beautiful gardens and a relaxing atmosphere we felt this location encouraged us to live in the moment. We hope you will relax and unwind during your stay with us at Hotel le Fontanelle. 

The entirety of the hotel and the facilities such as pools, spa, bar, etc. will be for the exclusive use of our wedding guests for two days and two nights. Check-in begins Friday 19th (after 3pm) and check-out is on Sunday 21st (12pm). For those arriving on early flights please let us know and we will try to arrange an earlier check-in time for you.

As our exclusivity ends on Sunday morning and the farewell event is not in Hotel Le Fontanelle, you may wish to stay in another hotel nearby or explore Tuscany further. If you would like a list of recommended hotels or villas nearby, in Siena or in Tuscany please let us know.

All reservations for Friday and Saturday can be made with us directly and not with the hotel. As we have booked the entire list of rooms for the wedding, the hotel will show as unavailable for those dates.



We have two types of rooms available for reservation - suites and double rooms. The suites are €300 per night and the double rooms are €225 per night. Room reservations can be completed below by emailing paulcolettewedding@gmail.com and we will send you a link for payment. Due to a venue deadline we ask that all guests have paid for their rooms by 31st March.



As we do not have exclusivity on Sunday, if you would like to stay in the hotel on that night you can book with them directly. They are offering a discounted rate for guests if you quote that you are attending our wedding.

The area surrounding the hotel has a number of services.

Shops: In the nearest small village of Pianella (6 km) and in Gaiole in Chianti (12 km) you can find small shops that sell items like cigarettes, snacks, etc. The nearest shopping centre, where you can find clothes and shoes, is Siena. There are shops in the historical section of Siena (the best streets are Via Banchi di Sopra, Via Banchi di Sotto, Via di Città, Via Montanini) or in the shopping centre called “PortaSiena” near the Train Station.

Hairdresser: The nearest hairdressers who can speak English are in Pianella (Gilda Hair Studio, Piazza Jan Palach 9A) and in Radda in Chianti (Hair’s Studio, Via Pozzo dei Birri 3).

Pharmacy: The pharmacies in the nearby villages of Gaiole in Chianti (12 km) and Radda in Chianti (17 km) can speak English.

Doctor: The hotel has a partnership with a private medical company who can visit guests at the hotel – Medyca – and they will all speak English. In the case of serious emergency the nearest hospital is in Siena (25 km) and the emergency ambulance can be at the hotel in 20 minutes.

The hotel runs a free shuttle service to Siena with one pick-up in the morning from the hotel to Piazza San Domenico in Siena and the return journey in the afternoon from the same Piazza.

If the Hotel shuttle is not available or if you need to go to town at a different time, the Hotel Reception can arrange a private transfer with an English-speaking driver as below:
For 2 people at €80.00 (to be charged on room bill)
For 5/6 people at €110.00 (to be charged on room bill)

Hotel Le Fontanelle enjoys panoramic views from its location in the Chianti Hills, 20 minutes drive from Siena. The main building dates back to the 13th century, part of an old country estate. The ancient farmhouse and buildings were in ruin when the current owners purchased it in the 1990s but through a huge restoration project it was brought back to life.

The owner focused on keeping the historical and cultural identity. This is why the hotel is full of archways, stone walls, original wood ceiling beams and terracotta floors - all the elements of a classic Chianti farm dwelling. The surrounding gardens are no different from that of 200 years ago, marked with vineyards and olive trees, native vegetation, and aromatic herbs. The name 'Le Fontanelle' comes from a 19th century source of water and the stone structures used to collect it, which can be seen around the property.
