    Pros +

    • Excellent service and lovely staff
    • Exzellent and varied breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. It is also possible to have dinner.
    • Friendliness of the staff. Everything was very clean. Charming location

    Cons -

    • The room was not ready at arrival (at 17.00) , but the staff was very nice and I did not have to wait long. Also good to know that you can hear the highway from the room and the neighbours too ;) It did not bother me so much because the rest of the stay was great!
    • Windows with no blackoutsNo wall separation between bathroom, shower and bedroomLow quality bed and overall room for the price
    • Only one thing but very annoying. There is virtually no sound isolation so we could hear everything in the adjacent room and in the corridor.

    Everything was cleaned. Food was very tasty. In a way, people are very friendly.

    Do not go with high expectations

    9HalPosted on: 6-6-2023

    Breakfast every morning was perfect! We felt relaxed in this beautiful setting and the host could not have been more gracious! Our room was spacious and everything was super clean! We enjoyed the pool one day….it was great! We highly recommend Fonte Velha!

    We liked EVERYTHING about this wonderful Villa style hotel!!!

    clean, nice design great food

    7QuguPosted on: 4-10-2023

    The restaurant is an exceptional example of perfect Portuguese food, oh this meat! The staff was kind and friendly. The territory is well-maintained, and the terrace on 2d floor is a good place to have a drink at night.

    The bathroom in the room is not soundproof from the room. There is no soap or vanity kit provided, despite the short stay. The pool has very old and broken chaise-longs that need replacement. The hotel is located next to a highway, which creates enough noise. They didn't have darts for the darts board hanging in the hall so the child got disappointed :(It felt as if we stayed at a restaurant, as all their focus is on that part of the business.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is very clean and quiet. The pool area is particulary nice. The food and wine is great. Manuel and Rosa are very nice. One or two coffee shops close by to walk to. There is very little in the area other than that, so it's perfect for a quiet getaway.

    literally nothing

    it was cheap, smelled so bad that we had to leave and we got allergic reaction that made us vomit

    8A_joanaPosted on: 3-1-2022

    An old granite house, recently recovered, in a quiet, peacefull village, hosted by the nice and available Sr. Manuel.Good acess, nice sun exposure. Perfect to relax. Close to some points of interest (Amarante, Guimarães, Marco de Canavezes).Typical portuguese breakfast included. Restaurant on the ground floor.Good matress, air conditioning is effective. Good acustic insulation.

    Bedroom furniture could be a bit better.Breakfast could have just a bit more variety (eg. some puff pastry and a toaster).Price justifies some ammenities (only hand soap available). Wc inside the bedroom was not a problem for us (good exhaustion and not exposed to bed sight)
