Posada Fontibre

Hosts are wonderful. Feels like staying at a good friends house. House is beautifully set and quiet, just a few steps from Ebro|River beginnings. Very quiet and peaceful setting, good breakfast and centrally located to visit many places around. Ebro reservoir, tres mares peak and more

My wife and I had an overnight stay here while travelling back from Lisbon to the Bilbao car ferry. Beautiful property in a beautiful location with lovely views but some way out of the nearest town. There is a nearby restaurant but it doesn't open on a Sunday. We arrived on a Sunday! Not a problem if you are not drinkers. We are! So we drove into town and picked up some picnic items and a couple of bottles of wine and enjoyed that in the breakfast room.||Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating but their English was as good as our Spanish i.e. non-existent. ||Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again but not on a Sunday.

Beautiful house run by very pleasant owners, if you Spanish isn't too good their daughter has a good grasp of English. Rooms are well presented and wifi is included. Ample parking and a nice garden to sit in. There are two resteraunts in the village the one near the shrine to the source of the Ebro is exceptional and well worth a visit.

We had a delightful welcome at this very pleasant Posada. It is a good place to stay in this lovely area of Spain although unfortunately we only stayed one night during our tour. It is comfortable, very clean and is full of character.

We stayed at the Posada Rural Fontibre for 1-night in late May (€75) while on a trip from Bilbao to visit the Iglesias Rupestres along the Ebro River. Fontibre is a tiny hamlet with 2 restaurants, the source of the Ebro River and not much else but rural tranquility. The posada fits right in, an historic country inn, 2 floors of rock, brick, dark timbers & wood accents fronted by a sun room and a pleasant grassy garden with a couple of picnic tables.||||Our 2nd floor room was spacious, with a high sloping wood-gabled roof, plastered walls with exposed rock in an accent wall, and a Juliet balcony. It was furnished with 2 single beds (shoved together), a large wood armoire for clothes storage, small desk & chair, mini-refrigerator and small wall-mounted TV. The bathroom had a vanity with a reasonable amount of space around the single sink & a quarter-circular shower stall, but only minimal toiletries. ||||The hallways and common areas were packed with period furniture and rural collectibles (cow bells, old photos, maps, etc.). Breakfast was basic, toast, a fruit basket, sweet cakes, yogurt, orange juice & coffee. Our host was friendly (no English, so we had to overcome a bit of language difficulty – no problem), and helpful (he led us to the only open restaurant for a late lunch). Overall, a very comfortable stay at a pleasant and atmospheric rural posada at a reasonable price.

Stayed here for 1 night after getting the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander. Beautiful location and very clean.|The host was perfect (he speaks very little English) The bedroom was very comfortable and we had a a great night’s sleep.|The continental breakfast served in the sun lounge was great.||Hope to visit again.

Found the Posada Fontibre on trip advisor and booked to stay one night on the 14th July during our tour of northern Spain. This a great little Posada and the hosts are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are large and comfortable, and the location is great, very peaceful beside the source of the river Ebro. Highly recommend this for a place to stay with a warm welcome.

A welcoming room in a very calm place a few yards away from the river Ebro's spring. Very helpful hosts. A very good restaurant at a few yards (closed on mondays though) a lively restaurant 6 kms away. A peaceful and interesting discovery of the little park around the river's spring.
