Good Value
Before I booked I read all the reviews and there were those who hated the place and those who obviously loved it so I decided to give it a go. We have a house on the coast so at worst we could have driven back home. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The Fonda is situated right in the centre of a pleasant village and the reception was manned. We were offered a choice of a 1st or 2nd floor room and chose the 1st floor.The room simply furnished with bright blue woodwork and really gorgeous wide varnished floorboards. The en suite was very small with a hip bath with a shower over and as usual the shower bracket was broken. Everything looked very clean and the bed had a nice blue cotton cover which one could tell was freshly washed. However on the down side there was a crack in the basin and the curtains were not really wide enough for the window but we have stayed in a 4 star hotels and had similar problems. We paid £81 for the 2 of us for 2 nights including breakfast and we both thought this was good value. The breakfast was typical with muesli , cooked meat, bread, toast, orange juice and freshly made coffee and on the one morning croissants We ate there on both nights and had the 11.90€ menu and found the menu limited but the food was good, freshly cooked and includes wine.There was not any tea or coffe making facilities in the room but experienced travellers will know that this is almost always the case. If you want tea or coffee use the bar.
