Guest Reviews for La Fonte
Gerard Mark D.
Excellent, well-located, spacious, comfortable, well cared for, and spotless villa. Total privacy. Exceptionally well equipped kitchen and dining area. Traditional farmhouse renovated to a very high standard. Beautifully kept garden and plants, lots of surrounding green and shade. Gorgeous swimming pool immersed in olive groves. Walking distance from Palaia, a very pleasant small ridge-top village, with bar, gelateria and several good ristorante. Housekeeper Monia, was very welcoming and helpful throughout. Owner very responsive to our requests. Gardner a real local character who takes great pride in his work. Photos and info on the web-site are accurate. Highly recommended for a family stay.

Two relaxing weeks in the unique setting of La Fonte: beautiful and very well kept house and garden, large swimming pool in a fanstatic scenery and three different places around the house to have our meals with a barbecue we can only dream of at home... We had a wonderful holiday and were taken very well care of by Lorena and Roberto who passed by regularly to make sure the house stayed clean and the garden and swimming pool were kept in good shape. Highly recommended!! The pool table is certainly an asset for an evening distraction. The house is beautifully furnished and the Italian touch reinforces the holiday feeling. Highly recommended!!

Superbe piscine, dont on a bien profité. Endroit très calme, et accueil très sympathique par Lorena. On va à pied aux restaurants du village, où on trouve pain, viande et épicerie, et il y a une supérette très pratique à 6 km. __________________ Superb pool, that we well enjoyed. A quiet place, and nice welcome from Lorena. The restaurants of the village are at walking distance, as well as bread and basic food. There is also a small supermarket 6 kms away.
