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.

Beautiful Home in Camigliano

This was a beautifully designed and appointed home with lots of outdoor space for walking (and enjoying the pool in the summer). Davide who manages the house was welcoming and explained all of the aspects of the home to us upon our arrival. The house was incredibly comfortable and clean. The surrounding vineyard were stunning and the house provided plenty of outdoor vantage points to enjoy this. Two areas to consider with this home. The kitchen area has two beautiful windows/doors for natural light but the sink area was dark. Also, this home is located approximately 15 minutes outside of Montalcino so arriving before dark is advised. The owners provided a sampling of their wine and a welcome basket (along with eggs, milk, juice, pasta and sauce), which was lovely and then also had a a full complement of their wines for us to purchase and drink during our stay. We loved this as it allowed us to try out a few wines from their label during our stay with ease. Last, if arriving home after a long day of touring, the home is well equipped for cooking dinner at home (or arranging dinner with Chef Francesco who was wonderful!) with a full set of pots and pans, a grill and all of the dish ware needed for a full dinner. We enjoyed dinner with Chef Francesco on our first night and ate at home two other nights to avoid going back out after long days of sightseeing and visiting wineries. Great option for families. We would definitely return!

Super Place in the Countryside

Perfectly relaxing stay in Tuscany near Montalcino. Accommodations superb! Try the Chef Francesco for an in home cooking dinner lesson, or just to prepare a meal. He’s super friendly and jovial, a joy to be with.

The Tuscan Retreat You Dream About

Our travel group consisted of two adult couples visiting Italy for the first time. Our itinerary included Rome, Venice, Bologna, and Florence before traveling to Tenuta la Fuga for much needed respite from an ambitious touring pace. As we made our way from Florence to Tenuta la Fuga (must have a car), we stopped outside Florence at the Folonari family's Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute - Tenuta di Nozzole for a previously booked wine tasting. Oliva, our host, met us with a warm and friendly welcome. The facility is beautiful and produces the best wines that we tasted during our visit to Tuscany. The quality is a result of this family's dedication to producing only the best wines with generational knowledge, expertise, and passion. This experience should not be missed. Next, we packed up and drove through the countryside arriving at Tenuta la Fuga, which, in a word, is breathtaking. As previous reviews have described, the pictures cannot capture the essence of this special estate, which indeed reflects it's name, "The Escape." From before we arrived, until our departure, the host Angela and property manager, Davide were communicative, responsive, and especially helpful. The estate is immaculately maintained and very well appointed. We booked a cooking class with Francesco, which was a highlight of our visit; I highly recommend. Tenuta la Fuga is the perfect "escape" from everyday life. Come to pause and contemplate the beauty that is Toscana and all that she provides.

Absolutely Stunning

Davide was an incredible host. He was very responsive and helpful. The property is absolutely stunning, and the area is beautiful. The pool was very chilly, but it was clean and was surrounded by gorgeous vineyards. We had a personal chef for the night; it was the best experience we had in our ten days in Italy! The beds were comfortable and the villa was updated, but still quaint. We would definitely return.

Memorable stay

Even thou we would like to keep this location as our secret, the stay here was just perfection. We were given proper check in instructions and directions to the property. The memorable stay started with check-in with Davide which included tour of the cellars. FYI… this is a working winery surrounded with Sangiovese vineyards and cellars are underneath the property. We picked up some wine during check-in which was apparently not enough as we bothered Davide couple more times for more wine. Davide was very busy that week as the Merlot grapes couple steps from the property was full blown harvest mode which we got to witness. Davide still made time for us. The highlight of the stay was the cooking class with Chef Francesco. Our family could not have asked for a more perfect evening. Francesco’s charm was the icing on the cake. The property was clean, very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed including washer which came very handy. Not to mention the views which were breathtaking and better than any of the pictures we saw as the vineyards were super green and full of grapes at their peak.

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.
