Extremely welcoming atmosphere where we felt immediately at home. We really enjoyed our stay at the very cosy Fountain House. Pietro and Viola were both very kind, welcoming and helpful. We highly recommend to stay at this beautiful place and would come back again.

A unique family gem in Monte San Giulio

The place is extraordinary! Cozy, beautifully decorated and the same time offering all modern commodities – wifi and smart TV. Fully equipped kitchen featuring the original pizza oven! We had wonderful family time there, enjoying picturesque walks near Lake Orta and relaxing in this fantastic house. Our son was fascinated by various old objects found in the house, he loved climbing and playing on the mezzanine, and playing some boardgames provided by the owners. We have warmed up in the steam room available in one of the bathrooms – this added up to already amazing experience during our stay in this house! The owners gave us plenty of advice for family activities in the area and recommendations for local restaurants. This time was a short stay, but we will definitely return to fully explore the area!

The house was perfect for our needs. We loved all the welcome gifts, art, furniture and outside areas. It was clean and extremely comfortable. We were also luck enough to see a whole family of wild pigs, that has never happened before! The studio was fun to stay in too and saved us looking for a hotel, so thanks again. We will definitely recommend The Fountain House to our friends.
