Set within approximately 5 hectares of arable land, Fonte Pinella offers generous outdoor living across a beautifully landscaped garden, a panoramic swimming pool, and multiple al fresco areas designed for relaxation and dining. Complimentary Wi-Fi keeps you connected throughout your stay, while dedicated private parking, accessed via an automatic entrance gate along a short drive, ensures complete convenience and peace of mind. The surrounding grounds, enclosed with low walls and wire mesh, provide a sense of total privacy and tranquillity that defines the spirit of this remarkable property.
Outdoors
The park surrounding Fonte Pinella is a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty, where a vast olive grove, an orchard, firs, oaks, and carefully tended flower beds frame a large expanse of lawn. Multiple outdoor living areas have been thoughtfully arranged throughout the garden to encourage relaxation and outdoor dining. A seating area is positioned just outside the main kitchen, while a dedicated dining area is situated in front of the annex kitchen, only a few steps from the swimming pool. The entire property is enclosed with low walls and wire mesh, ensuring privacy and security for all guests.
The non-heated swimming pool is one of the true highlights of Fonte Pinella. Positioned on one side of the garden and overlooking an open panoramic landscape, it is located approximately 30 m from the main house and 10 m from the annex, reached along a short flight of steps. The pool measures 6 x 12 m, with a depth ranging from 1.30 to 2.50 m, and features Roman steps and a diving board. Lined in PVC with a stone edge, it is equipped with internal lighting and a chlorine purification system. The large terracotta-paved solarium surrounding the pool is furnished with sunbeds, tables, umbrellas, and a hot and cold-water shower. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Please be aware that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colours of the garden grass may differ from what you observe upon arrival.
