Furnirussi Tenuta

Located in the heart of the largest fig plantation in Europe, Furnirussi Tenuta combines countryside tranquillity with simple modern luxuries. The main building was once a private family home, but has now been expanded to accommodate the 24 room boutique property consisting entirely of junior suites and suites. Throughout the property clean lines and a tasteful minimalism is the preferred style. This creates a more modern feel than many of the property’s peers throughout the region, which focus on the rustic, historic nature of their structures for style inspiration. In the rooms and public areas at Furnirussi Tenuta, muted palettes of pale, neutral tones and angular furnishings coupled with spacious interiors create a bright, airy feel.

One of the biggest draws to the hotel is the massive swimming pool. A gentle gradient into the deeper sections of the pool and an irregular shape creates the feeling of a luxurious private oasis in the hotel’s gardens. There's a small spa under the main building as well as a fitness studio located in the garden between the rooms. The restaurant on site serves a continental breakfast in the mornings and lunch and dinner later in the day. All menu items promote the hotel’s culinary ethos focusing on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, and of course, figs from the groves surrounding the property feature throughout the menu. A pool bar open in good weather meaning guests don’t need to stray from their loungers to order a light meal or a drink.
