Gutshaus De La Fontaine

Bed and breakfast

De La Fontaine is a lovely Maria-Theresia style mansion in the quiet and rural setting of Feilsdorf in the heart of the South Eifel. The house is a perfect romantic weekend hide-away and an ideal base for touring the area. We are only a forty-minute drive from the UNESCO World Heritage cities of Trier—once capital of the Roman Empire—and Luxembourg, as well as near the borders to Belgium, France, or the Netherlands.

Formerly a 17th century manor, De La Fontaine was re-built as a farm estate between 1812 and 1816 and retains many original features and character. Set in seven acres of gardens and paddocks on the village outskirts, and elevated above the Prüm River valley, with fields, forests, and rugged countryside all around, it is one of the best locations in the area. Our country house is a rural retreat in which to relax and unwind after a busy day exploring the glories of Trier, Luxembourg, or the stunning nature of the Eifel National Park. Why not stroll by the Prüm or call in at a nearby restaurant for an excellent meal?

From the friendly, family run bed & breakfast house the panoramic view sweeps over forty miles of fields, forests, and valleys. Indoors, oak-beamed ceilings and period furnishings create a comfortable backdrop, guaranteeing a warm and comfortable stay and offering an ideal atmosphere for relaxation within its residents lounge, two breakfast rooms, and an office with an Internet station in the former “Saddlery”. 

Each of our two recently refurbished suites have been individually designed to offer modern comfort whilst maintaining their unique period style. All rooms have tea and coffee making facilities, tv, and available Wi-Fi.

We also have a separate guest-house, available on a self-catering basis.
