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 Yes, the rooms are a little outdated but everything was clean.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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The room was spotless, the view from our room was amazing and the staff were the most friendly helpful people we’ve ever met. The two people at the front desk went out of their way answer all of our questions and even gave us help in locating some people we knew from the island. I also must compliment the staff in the restaurant, both at lunch and dinner, they too were helpful in every way possible. This property should very grateful to have such fine people working for them! This is definitely a place we will return too!
