In the know
Also need to know:
A minimum stay of two nights is usually required. Well-behaved little dogs are welcome. Be schooled in la cucina povera (peasant cooking) with a cookery class at the villa. Learn how to make traditional treats including stuffed tomatoes, pasta al ragu, beef in truffle sauce and so on; then toast your new found skills at the celebratory dinner that follows. A session costs €120 a head (for groups of one to four) or €100 each (groups of four to eight). Remember to book your session at least a day in advance.
Packing tips:
Bring an eco sensibility; follow the hotel's lead and only stuff organic, all-natural bath products in your suitcase.
Dress code:
Country-appropriate casual, with a flamboyant frisson.

Dining information
Restaurant:
Although Fontelunga doesn't have a restaurant, guests are welcome to dine at Borgo 69's restaurant just down the road (also owned by Paolo and Phillip). Once a week, on Wednesdays, Fontelunga's owners host a four-course dinner party, including prosecco with fried vegetables and crostini, a bottle of wine for each couple and bottled water. And if you get peckish, light lunches of pasta, salad or sandwiches are available on request.
Top Table:
Ask to eat outside in the gardens, and catch the sun setting, resplendent, over the Tuscan countryside. The once-weekly dinner party is served at a communal table – outside, if the weather permits (and it usually does).
Room Service:
Not available. If the villa is rented, a concierge service and grocery shop is included in the rates.
Hotel Bar:
There is a 24-hour honesty bar and the staff have a nifty way with a cocktail shaker.
