Fontana Hotel & Gastronomy

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Fontana Hotel & Gastronomy? The name isn’t just marketing fluff – they actually mean it about the gastronomy part. I mean, I’ve stayed at plenty of four-star places that talk a big game about their restaurant, but this one’s different. The moment you walk through the lobby, there’s this subtle aroma of herbs and something savory that makes your stomach wake up, even if you just ate.

The whole place has this understated elegance that doesn’t feel like it’s trying too hard. The staff genuinely seems to know what they’re doing – not in that overly rehearsed way, but more like they’ve been there long enough to actually care about the details. Check-in was smooth, no awkward hovering while they fumble with the system. And honestly, the rooms are exactly what you’d hope for without any weird surprises. Good lighting (seriously, why do so many hotels mess this up?), comfortable bed that doesn’t make you miss your own, and the kind of quiet that lets you actually sleep through the night. The bathroom’s well-designed too – proper water pressure and enough counter space for your stuff.

But here’s the thing that really sets Fontana apart: the food is legitimately excellent. I’m talking about the kind of dining experience where you find yourself planning your day around meals. The restaurant staff knows their menu inside and out, and they’re not just reciting descriptions – they can tell you how things are prepared and make recommendations that actually match what you like. I had this incredible dish with local ingredients that I’m still thinking about weeks later. The wine selection’s thoughtful too, not just the usual suspects you see everywhere. And breakfast? Well, let’s just say you won’t be hunting for decent coffee elsewhere. The 9.2 rating makes complete sense once you’ve been there – it’s the kind of place that gets the fundamentals right and then adds those little touches that stick with you. You’re not just staying somewhere; you’re actually experiencing what the kitchen can do.

• Liat from Israel – 21 March 2025 (10/10)

  The breakfast was great. The waiter was very kind and in the second morning as we mentioned we are stressed with the time to leave for the airport, he made all efforts and even remembered everything each of us ordered. The lady in the reception was also very kind and friendly.
  
  What could be improved: The sofa bed in the living room was not that comfortable
