Overall Ratings & Reviews Aldeia da Fonte Hotel

Fantastic location with rooms dotted around the garden. Our room was spacious, comfortable and simply furnished with an outside porch with seating area and access to the beach. There was also a kettle in the room! Would highly recommend the restaurant which is reasonably priced, popular with locals and serves with excellent food. We were there in March and had fortunately booked a table, because the restaurant was pretty full.

Our stay was very enjoyable. The property is very unique and picturesque. The small cottages with a couple rooms each are very quiet. The grounds are very old and beautiful. They are cobble stone and so not ideal if you have mobility issues. Food and drinks at the restaurant were excellent and breakfast had a good variety.

We had a lovely stay. Great and quite location, and as there aren't many rooms, it feels very private and like you're in the middle of the forest. Yes, the rooms are a little outdated but everything was clean. Friendly staff, decent breakfast, and parking available right on the property. Would stay here again.

The no airconditioning would not be a problem if the windows openned fully. We barely had a breeze in our room and it finally cooled down by around midnight most nights. The property is really great with it's own ocean swimming spot down the way, but the pool was extremely poorly maintained.

Beautiful place

Amazing hotel! Great food and nature trails. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this hotel.

The setting is beautiful! Aldeia de Fonte Hotel is in a very lush and green part of the island, as well as near the ocean. You can hear the waves crashing on the rocks from your room. The outdoor dining area is so pretty. You feel like you are in a rainforest.

Great restaurant, great views and swimming from the cliff

The grounds at this hotel are amazing! They are beautifully landscaped and the rooms are in small buildings around the property. You can walk to cliffs and there is a small balcony overlooking the ocean. The food at the restaurant is excellent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were there during off-season and there was not always someone at the property but you could call. My reason for a lower rating is the mattresses. They are probably futon mattresses and they are very thin and hard. After two nights my joints hurt.

Gorgeous grounds!

Easy to find and drive to, for a first-time visitor to the island. Superb location next to the garden & to shopping.

Beautiful spot, very unique setting. Suite was very clean. The location is a distance from Madalena, so was a 30-45 minute drive to the ferry for Faial and some restaurants we wanted to visit. We stayed in October so there were not as many flowers and the pool wasn't as clean as expected, but the sunsets and waves were amazing, and I would guess a visit in the summer would be amazing.

What an incredible place. We want to come again!

The location on the edge of the ocean, the garden and remnants of the native forest nearby were incredibly beautiful. We could hear the waves from the room, as well as the Cory's shearwater at night! What a paradise on Earth! The hotel restaurant is excellent and very popular. The bathroom had been done up recently, though the rooms need further updating.

Aldeia da Fonte Hotel Was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and the restaurant was amazing! Must try the octopus stew!

The rooms didn´t have tea or coffee. The nature around the housed and the facilities were really great.

The setting for this property is so unique, you will be amazed as you walk through it!

What a unique hotel! Incredible care went into its design and it is extremely well maintained. And, it’s staff was the friendliest and most fun we met in the Azores.

Good location near Lajes, car necessary though to explore the island. Rooms a little dated but good standard. Breakfast average. Expensive by Azores standards.

This is truly a hidden gem. I wanted to check in for a month and not leave! It's a very cozy place, perched on the side of a rocky cliff, with countless trails and places to sit down and finish a good book. The on-site restaurant was very good and had a wonderful setting. Wifi was strong as well and I appreciated the gym. This is not a luxury property... but it has good bones. It's been lived in for a while, but it was so visionary and wonderful when it was built, that it has a lot more living left to do. I truly hope to return to this place one day.
