Nestled in the rolling hills of Chianti, Hotel Le Fontanelle is an oasis of tranquility overlooking the Siena countryside. Once a fortified farmhouse, today it is an intimate five-star hotel where nature blends with rural elegance. Peace, care, and proportion guide every architectural choice, offering a welcome in harmony with the setting.
Here, L’Officina dei Giardini brought measured, functional solutions that respect the original style of the building. The tiled-roof portico has been transformed into an elegant covered café, featuring custom-designed windows that offer a perfect enclosure. The bar-level opening allows for efficient service while maintaining aesthetic harmony.
The restaurant area is set in a spacious conservatory designed to exalt the view and maximize natural light. Glass roofs, copper-finished metal glazing bars, and iron framework complement the architectural context and create an elegant, sheltered space in visual continuity with the landscape.
To complete the project, we installed elegant, discreet wind barriers that shelter guests from the elements while maintaining the pleasures of outdoor living— a functional detail that is an integral part of this hospitality project.
