About this property

Tenuta La Fuga ( literally "The Escape") is a charming farmhouse nestling in the tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside. It reflects the Folonari family’s great love for Tuscany, its land, its grapes, and the wines produced from its vineyards and that for centuries have been at the heart of the family business.
La Fuga is at the center of one of Italy’s most beautiful regions, the land of Brunello, one of Italy’s most famous wine-producing areas. Located near Montalcino (41 km from Siena), the rural surroundings make it a very quiet and peaceful dwelling, the only noises being the swallows flying joyfully in the sky just before sunset.

Loving the land also means sharing and allowing others to enjoy this beauty. With this in mind, in 2012 the Folonari started restoring the Estates’ properties and their surrounding land, diversifying into ‘one-hospitality’ as a complement to the wine business.

The house was re-styled maintaining the character of an old-style Tuscan farmhouse. It is fully equipped and very comfortable for 5 adults and 2 babies. One of its main features is the beautiful terracotta terrace overlooking the vineyards and the rolling hills in the distance. Views are truly breathtaking and one would only wish to relax here at the end of a long summer day enjoying a glass of Brunello and meditating on the beauty of the surroundings!

The pool, for the exclusive use of the guests, offers sunny areas as well as relaxing shady spots where a pergola gives extra shelter for outdoor dining. The pool area is fenced all around for safety.

There are many interesting places to visit in the area, but if one day you prefer the peace that the house offers, our trusted in-villa chef would be available, after the appointment, to cook for you or to give an enjoyable cooking lesson.

At Tenuta La Fuga you may visit our cellar where we produce our Brunello wine with our caretaker, upon his availability, but there is not an organized wine tasting. If you are a real wine lover and would like to know further about our production, please come and visit our main cellars by the Tenuta di Nozzole near Greve in Chianti, where we hold proper wine tastings. Booking your visit and wine tasting in advance is strongly recommended. Visiting the lovely and lively village of Greve in the morning, and visiting our cellar at Nozzole in the afternoon, could be an opportunity to see another beautiful part of Tuscany, the Florentine province.

Outstanding.

This is our third visit to La Fuga and I don’t think we would ever stay anywhere else in Tuscany now. The property is simply stunning with a great view, amazing terrace, great pool and garden, and is set in a really quiet/private location. Everything is as described and works perfectly (not always the case in the four or five other Tuscan villas we stayed in before we found this one!), including the air con which, in our experience, is quite often poor and unreliable in other properties. The little touches are just right too - essential groceries are generously provided so you don’t have to worry if you are arriving late; decent toiletries are provided; big, soft and plentiful towels are there for each of your party; and beds/chairs are really comfortable. Communication, booking and check-in/out are slick and quick. David (the on-site property manager) is always available if you need anything and unobtrusively ensures the pool and grounds are clean and tidy every day. The only thing you need to know is that you really need a car as the villa is wonderfully remote and a good 15-minute drive to Montalcino. We love this as it is what makes the place so private and quiet, but most people probably won’t want to regularly walk the 10-12km into town! We recommend La Fuga without any hesitation (except the fear that we might struggle to book it again if everyone knows about it!).

The most perfect location and property!!

We returned from Tenuta La Fuga on the 28th May after 5 amazing nights in the middle of our honeymoon tour around Italy. The only word I can use to describe the property is incredible. It was a little hard to find but only because of confusion when passing through Montalcino. We were welcomed by Davide who was wonderful in showing us round and demonstrating how everything worked and very fortunately for us had time to give us a tour of the cellars. The accommodation was stunning there were only 2 of us but easily big enough for 2 families without being on top of each other. The cleanliness of the outside areas was outstanding, cleaned daily but never invasive. The only reason i didn't give the online description 5 stars is because I actually don't think the pictures and description online do the property enough justice. It is bigger, more beautiful and more magical than we could have ever imagined. I never return to properties as we love to wander to new places, but I WILL be returning here and bringing others with me.

Pece and Quiet in the beautiful Tuscan countryside

Lovely property well maintained by Davide, would be good to have a kettle in the kitchen. Great location a short easy drive from Montalcino. Directions to the villa would help arrival process but saying that Davide drove straight out and found us when we called. Would definitely recommend.

Everyone dreams to escape, La Fuga is the reality.

If you have an idea, a dream to escape modern life for a while, if you are looking for the ideal place for this to be realised, then search no further. La Fuga, and excuse the pun, but it does exactly what it says on the tin. An escape. You do not need to be a wine connoisseur to stay here. You can learn if you want or you can just relax and gaze at the valley of vines that spread out before as you lay by the pool or relax in the evening on the terrace. The house has everything you need, is very comfortable, clean and maintained to a very high standard. The wifi worked through the house and by the pool, but after day 2 this was not used as we reverted and became human again by just reading books and allowing the valley and timeless day to take us back to a time when you relaxed on holiday. Head to the nearest town of Montalcino and stock up with everything you need, or venture out and visit local villages and vineyards for lunch. There is no hard sell on wine, its there if you want it. Head to Grosseto about an hour away for a larger supermarket, a lovely drive through the Val d' Orcia, top it off with a swim in the sea. There is so much to do here using La Fuga as your base to tour or just relax. We opted for the latter. You need a car which helps you get into Montalcino for some restaurants or just a change for an evening head into the small village nearby of Camigliano and dine with Massimo and Antonella at the Trattoria el Galletto. Its a small Trattoria with an outside area overlooking the valley, so make sure you call and book, it might be remote but their food is popular. La Fuga is a working vineyard, and the estate manager Davide is on site to help, they have to tend the vines so there is the distant hum of a tractor, but watching the locals working on the vines by hand across the valley in way that hasn't changed for years, makes you realise you have stepped back from the rat race. One last thing, is that beneath the terrace and house is the result of the tended vines, large wooden barrels of Brunello wine, quietly sleeping and maturing for five years, a process that the Folonari Family have nurtured for generations. A commitment that they have extended in developing La Fuga, by ensuring that your stay and communication with you before and after is personal. Nothing is too much trouble. Enjoy La Fuga.

About the host

Hosted by Angela

The family who own of the property has been making wine since the late eighteenth century and has adopted the mission of developing, producing and distributing the finest Italian wines throughout the world and has created many award winning Tuscan crus. La Fuga is set in the middle of our vineyards, which produce Brunello, one of our crus.

Why they chose this property

Ambrogio e Giovanni Tenute', one of Tuscany's most renowned wine producers, acquired La Fuga Estate in 2002 to complete their portfolio which includes properties in the best wine producing areas of Tuscany. The lovely home has a wonderful terrace with a breathtaking view of the vineyards and the Montalcino Countryside. It is located just above the wine cellar where the La Fuga award winning Brunello ages for at least 2 years in oak barrels.
The Folonari family has decided to open the house to visitors willing to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and appreciate one of Italy's grand crus, Brunello di Montalcino.

What makes this property unique

The views from La Fuga are truly breath-taking - the estate extends over 25 acres of rolling hills and vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see, with the grandiose Monte Amiata in the background.
This charming dwelling allows for a real Escape, its name being 'La Fuga', a heavenly retreat for wine aficionados. It is tucked away in the heart of Italy's most famous wine-producing area: Montalcino, home to the classic full-bodied Brunello di Montalcino.
Guests at La Fuga will be able to enjoy personal tours of the wine-cellar beneath the property while tasting a glass of wine. You may arrange with our estate manager who will be happy to guide you.
Book well in advance for your arrival dinner, your cooking lesson or in-villa chef to make your holiday a real experience. A free visit to our cellars in Nozzole near Greve in Chianti is also offered to our guests.

La Fuga is unique and true to its name in that here one can really feel at home, yet disconnected from everything, experiencing what a true holiday could be.
“The Escape, the most beautiful stay in the world!” A quote from one of our travel agents.

The wine estate manager, who is also the house manager, lives in a totally independent part of the property. You will only see him if you need him for suggestions and advice about the area, or for any particular need regarding your stay at La Fuga. He will be happy to help you and show you our cellar.

We are in open country and deers, wild boars, lizards and insects live here. Although it is not so easy to encounter them please pay attention and dress accordingly especially during certain times of the year.
