Happy We Chose La Fontaine

The friendly staff helped make this a spectacular stay. They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the town and wineries. The location was excellent and the beds were great. We didn't try it, but we were told one of the swimming pools was bathtub warm.
Diane, 2-night trip

Fantastic

We had an amazing experience here, we have never encountered such wonderfully helpful staff, nothing was too much for them. It was like the staff owned the hotel as they took such attention to every detail. They were the warmest and happy staff that we have come across. Kim the manager was so engaging and helpful in every way. Very Highly recommend La Fontaine

A great new find.

Our first time at La Fontaine and it didn’t disappoint. In fact it exceeded expectation. The staff were excellent. Very attentive and interested in all their guests. The breakfasts offered a great choice and were very good. The. Bedroom was very comfortable, albeit an extractor fan in the bathroom would be a good addition. The communal areas were welcoming and very comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay there again.
