Fontabate is located in the Romagna/Tuscany area, about 1000 m above sea level, along the ancient pilgrim road “Dei Romei”. Already present in the land register in 1700, it was inhabited up to the 1950s by farm workers then, with the depopulation of the mountain zones, it became first a country house and later, after careful restoration, a place for rest and vacation, the ideal departure point for excursions to the national park and a pleasant place to spend a weekend or weeks in contact with nature, enjoying the beneficial thermal waters of the nearby Bagno di Romagna Terme. Wood, terracotta and stone are the basic materials used in the renovation of Fontabate. A journey through time, embracing the whole 19th century up to the modern recycling techniques of today, characterizes the choice of furnishings. Staying in Fontabate means breathing the scents of the past whilst enjoying the comforts of the present: having fun in baking bread in the antique wood oven and cooking delicious meat on the outdoor barbecue or relaxing with a good book from the extensive library (over 300 books). In the immediate neighbourhood of Fontabate you can immerse yourself in the regenerative spa of Bagno di Romagna and try its thermal pools, caves, treatments and beauty farm. You can also make a cultural excursion to Sarsina where you can go to performances of the Plautus Festival with international actors. If you enjoy art, you can admire the works of Neri di Bicci and Andrea della Robbia in the Basilica of Bagno di Romagna.
