The location is very unique and lovely. Also liked the fact you could go down to the ocean for a swim and is also on the route of an official PRC Hike on Pico. The infrastructure looks a bit outdated and needs some additional maintenance: I hurt myself really bad on the crooked swimming pool ladder, swimming pool showers did not work, the room smelled pretty damp.

The grounds are beautiful, and the view of the ocean stunning. I loved having a patio with chairs and table to enjoy the outdoors, and the many verandas, outbuildings, etc offer plenty of places to hang out. The breakfast was good too. I'm not sure if we were there in the off season, but some if the buildings felt...tired. The whale watch tower was locked. I would stay here again though, it was nice.

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.

Excellent off the beaten track hotel

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 Yes, the rooms are a little outdated but everything was clean.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

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 and unique hotel

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.

Paradise location and Cory's shearwater at night

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.
