Guest Experiences

La Fontanita, peaceful guesthouse in Ardèche, where guests enjoy nature, comfort and unforgettable moments.
We had a very nice week at la Fontanita, and enjoyed your hospitality and activity- tips. The silence and quiet were great. Between star-gazing at night and biking and walking in the surroundings, enjoying the land and the river-stream, the boys enjoyed themselves enormously too, not to speak of the good wifi, in their 'men-cave'. It was a very successful holiday.

HOLIDAYS
So good to be away from everything and be able to concentrate on my painting. The surroundings are peaceful and inspiring, I also did some of my aquarel work outside. And it's practical that there are some easels too.

ARTIST RESIDENCY
I could not have asked for a better experience. Francine's retreat gave me exactly what I needed: the healing power of nature and the space to reconnect with my true Self. The inner dialogue exercise was especially powerful. Francine is a caring, extremely talented and knowledgeable professional — I felt I was in good hands. Highly recommended.
