An extremely pleased Ron Gauld said this evening that they are delighted to hear from TripAdvisor (article here) that Casa Fontana had been voted one of the top B&Bs in Italy. We were no.24!
As he went on to say, considering that they were up against places like Sorrento, Rome and Montepulciano he thought that was pretty good!
“Love Love and More Love” – 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….
“The Perfect Place to Relax and Unwind” – 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
“I Can’t Think of Another Superlative!!!” – 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.

Ron and Susi are delighted that Casa Fontana has been voted by our guests into the top B&Bs in Italy and as no.6 in Tuscany! Much of our success has been down to the people of Barga who make our guests so welcome.
Our thanks therefore to all the restaurants, caffes and bars which serve the community so well, and to Keane and the GdBN for their support.
Terrific news, and a very well-deserved compliment. Congratulations to Ron and Susi.
From one hotelier to another… I can only add that the hard work that Ron and Susi put into Casa Fontana day after day each season is also a large party of this continued success. Its all about the guest experience and that is what Ron and Susi do so well.
Cheers to you both!
