We chose Casa Fontana because of it's excellent reviews and we were not disappointed. When we booked our stay Ron offered to book a table for us on our first evening at a restaurant of our choice. We were delayed, we phoned him and he relayed our new time to the restaurant and when we arrived he escorted us there!... More

As the other reviewers noted, Casa Fontana offers charm, peace, location, great hikes and vistas and above all, Susie and Ron as host and hostess. There are so many incredible hikes, best to stay MORE than 3 days. That also allows enough time for many trips to the pastry shop. Our room had views better than one can imagine. The... More

We'd read great reviews of the Casa Fontana, but our holiday was even better than we had hoped. Susie and Ron are wonderfuly welcoming hosts, creating a friendly atmosphere that gets everyone chatting. The house is lovely, and Ron and Susie share their charming garden with their guests; sitting with a glass of wine and talking to other guests was... More

I don't know which to put first: Casa Fontana, Ron and Susi, Barga, or the Garfagnana itself. All were stupendous and immensely surprising. Ron and Susi could not have been more welcoming and helpful, providing maps, directions, dinner reservations, local insights, wine in the garden, and their incredible breakfast spreads. Don't come here looking for red carpet concierge hotel service.... More

Casa Fontana is a delightful B&B where you can truly put your feet up, breathe the fresh mountain air, and forget about life for awhile! My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights in October and loved every minute of our stay. As so many reviewers have already noted, Suzi and Ron are the most gracious hosts, who can't... More

As the title says, I think just about every superlative to describe Ron and Susi, and their b&b Casa Fontana have already been used by previous reviewers. I will simply put it this way, do yourself a favour, just go to Casa Fontana, and you will see what everyone is talking about is true in every sense. I can back... More

Everything has been fantastic. The house is a beautiful mix of old and new. Very comfortable. Host are very welcoming and knowledgeable about the town and area. A real find. More

My objective for this trip as a first time solo traveler was to become intimately familiar with Barga and surrounding villages, to search the cemeteries and walk the donkey trails used by my grandfathers long ago. I could not have made a better choice than Casa Fontana. Traveling alone can be awkward but not with such graceful hosts as Ron... More

We stayed at the little one-bedroom house that Ron and Susi sometimes rent out in the summer. Our welcome could not have been warmer, and the views from the balcony under the trees made you feel like an eagle in an eyrie. We were given an incredibly helpful run-down on all the local restaurants and places to go, supplemented by... More
