This is a terrible run down hotels . In a 2 night stay they failed to service the room. It is tired and sorely lacking in love. No Mantainance . Not much worked in the bedroom. Lamp not working. Missing batteries in the cheap remote for the fan. Bathtub chipped and marked. The furniture was old and end of life. The area rug in the bedroom was all stained and it all just smelt bad. The bedsheets were stained. Sad as the property has immense architectural and historic charm. The owners just failed to invest and refurbish a property which no doubt once upon a time must have been a great hotel. Just squandered the legacy. You can still see evidence of great craftsmanship but now all a faded hotel. It all comes down to a lack of love.

Hard beds but otherwise a fantastic experience. The hotel is a series of cottages by the ocean and has a dreamlike quality about it. It feels like something out of the hobbit. Paths wind around the facility and uncover little nooks and crannies for chilling or reading. Other paths take you along the ocean and down towards the pool and sauna. My wife said she'd come back to just stay and chill for a few days. Our room, #1, had a main bedroom and a separate living room with a bed for our third traveler. My travelers just kept repeating...'how adorable' and 'how cute is this'. The restaurant was very good and we ate there twice, sampling different meals, such as the bacon/ham pasta, code and octopus bake and baked tuna...all of which were big enough to share. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and if we're back in Pico, will be sure to stay there again.

Other than the rainy weather every day we were there, and the horrible airport delays because of the weather, our stay at Aldeia da Fonte was beautiful! Beautiful gardens amazing walking paths,beautiful swimming pool over the ocean! Incredible restaurant! Great rooms. But the thing that felt wrong and unsafe is the key situation for the rooms! They hand you a set of four keys on a ring! Once you figure out which keys work then you get in. The safety issue is what happens during an emergency if you need to get out? The door requires a key to get out! Which key? You would be trapped in a fire! Also rooms need dehumidifiers! Can’t dry anything! Insides or out because of the humidity and moisture! Our room smelled fine, but some places were quite musty ! I thought the place was amazing and gorgeous! We lived it there. But the key thing?

This is a very cool hotel with plenty to explore on the grounds. It overlooks the water and there is a cool trail that leads down to the water. There are also plenty of spots to lounge an relax along with a pool. They even have a whale lookout that you can climb up and search for whales in.

The hotel is living on past reputation. The rooms are set in houses in extensive grounds. Several rooms have no balcony or patio and do not face the sea. Room is a good size , with a fridge, but no kettle, tea or coffee which should be available in 4 star hotel The grounds need a gardner to give them much needed TLC as they distract from what should be a beautiful setting. We experienced minor problems: First room did not have a working safe- we managed to negotiate move to a different room. This didn't have an outside light which worked and the shower holder did not hold the shower. The saving grace is the quietness and evening meal in the restauarant- the food was excellent and staff very friendly. Breakfast is adequate. Management take note - take action before it is too late. You need more staff eg on our leaving morning the only receptionist was ferrying some tour group's luggage from rooms to their transport!

The pool and its amenities are a drama. The hotel rooms are really old fashioned. Only reason for giving 2 stars is the friendliness of the staff and the food restaurant. Breakfast is very basic and a little boring. So really not worthy to have 4* on their door. Don’t go !

I stayed in Aldea da Fonte for a long time. The place is absolutely beautiful, full of respect for the environment. The rooms are nice and comfortable, very clean. The staff is great. The restaurant is delicious. The food is always fresh. The waiters are delightful. The tables have proper table clothes and napkins, which Is a sign of sophistication.

We spent 3 nights in this more than disappointing hotel, damp rooms, window that only opens by tilting, uncomfortable bedding, poor cleaning. Access to the swimming pool and the sea is dangerous, no security along the way, poorly maintained. The swimming pool is aging, the mosaic is peeling off by hand. Fortunately the restaurant saves the honor in the evening, on the other hand the breakfasts are basic (coffee and fruit juice terrible). We had 2 rooms, 1 for parents and 1 for teenagers, but they were not close, this shows the disorganization.

2 Erwachsene und 1 Kind! Riesige Unterkunft, Betten super (sind wirklich hart, wir fanden es gut), sicherlich mag der Teppich oder die ausgeblichenen Sessel nicht mehr perfekt sein. Es war alles sauber u ordentlich! Weg zu den Pools war klasse, Frühstück ausreichend! Restaurant am Abend: sehr gutes Essen u bester Service.
