Hotel La Fonte

the staff were very nice and helpful. the price was good and the room was very comfortable and clean and spacious with beautiful views. in a tranquil setting. the breakfast room was pleasant with a reasonable fresh breakfast and the hotel was well kept. it was very close to the walled city, within 1 minute of internet/phone centre, cafe, restaurant and shops (though it is not a commercial place, there were just a few shops. there was one bar which was not very busy). not far from the mountain lift to the bus stop (bus runs until 6pm)

the transport to the hotel was a surprise. you have to take a bus or taxi if you are on foot . it is not very easy to go by foot because of the footpaths on the windy roads to the next town,so you depend on the transport to leave. it is not immediately obvious to get to the bottom of the hill by path either, and when the mountain lift was out of order i was lucky to be given a lift in the car by a local old lady. being alone, i felt limited in the evenings for things to do, and the restaurants seemed to close early and the bar was empty, so there wasnt much chance for me to mingle with locals. a few foreigners living in the city followed me and tried to talk to me/get me into an alley , so i dont recommend travelling alone as a woman
