Guest Reviews for La Fonte
What a beautiful place! The villa is lovely and the pool is fantastic. Palaia was around 10-15 minutes walk up the dirt track and the small village is stunning! Barbara the housekeeper was absolutely lovely. On a whole the place is fantastic, stunning scenery, large BBQ area and the pool! We would definitely go back to the La Fonte, however only if they installed air conditioning. We went at the end of July and most days were around 36-38 degrees. With a lack of air conditioning in the villa and bedrooms it was quite uncomfortable at night. We were provided a fan for each room, but that just blew the hot air around. If air con is installed we will be back!!

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!!
