Beautiful large old Portuguese property reminds you of a vintage hotel which I loved Great breakfast
Difficult to get into property with gates and codes for doors ect if cleaners were not there we would have had to wait longer than we did . The gentleman who answered the phone was not accommodating with our time of arrival and could not understand why we could not put in passports into their website . We were not comfortable with that process
Petit déjeuner copieux dans un décor enchanteur. Tout était parfait. Le personnel attentionné.
Très beau, personnel disponible agréable et vue magnifique.

Un endroit exceptionnel. La suite junior a une vue extraordinaire sur la vallée. Le personnel très gentil. J'y reviendrai avec plaisir.
Tout etait parfait. La personne qui servaiit le petit dejeuner gentille et competente. Excellent breakfast La proprietaire parlait bien le francais La maision est belle et bien entretenue
Rien mais ca surprend que personne ne soit la pour accueillir
Thank you for accommodating gluten free! The breakfast was great! The property was nice and quiet and three rooms were latge and comfortable. The welcome wine was also appreciated.
Only the fact that it wasn’t walkable to city center but that’s the tradeoff for quietness so I am not considering it a total negative.
Precioso. Impecable. La chica que nos atendió super amable. Volveremos sin duda. Bastante cerca de Amarante
The house is amazing. Staff is very friendly
La maison est magnifique. On dirait une maison ancienne et pourtant tout est très propre, avec tout le confort moderne et même quelques éléments très contemporains comme la piscine à débordement. Il y a très peu de chambres et le calme est absolu. Le petit déjeuner est servi dans une superbe salle à manger. Une excellente surprise ou tout était parfait. Bravo

La tranquilidad que aporta el lugar
El zumo del desayuno
Da beleza da casa e da simpatia dos funcionários.
Nada a dizer.
Zeer rustige ligging, mooie kamer, mooi zwembad. Het ontbijt was uitstekend. Goed breed bed.
Piepkleine badkamer.
O pequeno almoço era bom e sempre a atenção da funcionária para que não faltasse nada. A localização é excelente para quem quer relaxar. O edifício está bem conservado. Mesmo a chover fomos à piscina. A simpatia dos donos e dos funcionários é excelente.
Ruhige Lage, Pool, wunderbares Frühstück, Distanz in die Stadt
Das Übermitteln des Zugangcodes hat nicht geklappt. Das Personal hat uns geholfen, den Zugang zum Zimmer zu erhalten.
Nos encanto todo. Fuimos con nuestros hijos de 4 y 8 años y se portaron genial con nosotros. Incluso les calentaron la piscina para que pudieran bañarse, porque ese dia hacia fresco y habia estado lloviendo. El desayuno excelente y las habitaciones y la casa impecables. Nos ha encantado y seguro q si volvemos repetiremos!!! Lo recomiendo 1000x1000
No hay nada que no me haya gustado. Todo es excelente
Todo pero por destacar algo la atención inmejorable de la chica que trabaja alli . Gracias
Calme discrétion des hôtes

Apesar de estar um pouco desviada do centro, a casa ficava perto do mesmo de carro e estava rodeada de natureza. As funcionárias foram exemplares. Todo o processo de check-in e check-out era automático, muito moderno e a acompanhar as mudanças da atualidade. No quarto tinham-nos deixado uma garrafa de vinho verde e um doce sa região. Pequeno-almoço excelente também.
As almofadas do quarto eram demasiado moles, não dormi muito bem por isso. Apesar do processo de check-in e check-out ser automático, não foi logo perceptível que podíamos dirigir-nos para o quarto sem contactar alguém presencialmente primeiro. O lago que era um grande destaque da casa não estava limpo.
Everything was fantastic from the moment we arrived. They had attention to detail in every aspect and were super nice. The house itself is beautiful on the inside and very welcoming.
Dès notre arrivée on a l’impression d’être un hôte exceptionnel. La maison nous plonge dans le riche passé de ces belles demeures qui a été parfaitement restaurée. Tous les services sont soignés
Notre seul regret est de n’y être resté pas plus longtemps !
Gostamos de tudo , nada apontar superou as nossas espectativas! Recomendo! Parabéns pela funcionária que tem super super simpática o meu filho adorou - a ! Parabéns
Everything was absolutely incredible!
Estancia impecable
Un poco apartado pero bien
Very quiet, great service, clean pool, lovely toiletries, friendly staff and lovely scenery.
La casa es súper bonita. Tiene una decoración antigua y barroca pero le queda perfecta. Es una casa muy tranquila para disfrutar y relajarse. Las chicas que trabajan allí son maravillosas, lo tienen todo perfecto y se preocupan porque no te falte de nada. Un beso enorme a Sidalia y a su compañera. Sin duda volveremos
Sólo tiene servicio de desayuno. Eché en falta algún tipo de picoteo o algo rápido para cenar. Sería perfecto 👌
El personal, es muy amable y servicial, siempre con una sonrisa en la cara. El trato fue inmejorable y tanto para nosotros como para mi hijo de 2 años fueron siempre muy comprensivos y amables, ayudandonos en lo que fuese necesario. Las instalaciones son perfectas para quien busca relajarse y disfrutar de una estancia en una zona tranquila a escasos minutos en coche del centro de la ciudad. Cuando volvamos sin duda alguna repetiremos la experiencia con ellos.
Absolutamente nada.
Me pareció precioso el cuidado de los detalles El personal y los dueños encantadores El desayuno super rico y variado

El acceso me pareció un poquito complicado. Demasiada cuesta
Her volledige concept is top, wat een mooi huis en interieur. Het ontbijt is lekker en er wordt een vers eitje gebakken als je dat wenst. Het personeel is super lief en meer dan behulpzaam.. Jammer genoeg moesten we een hospitaal bezoek ontnemen door een valpartij tijdens een uitstap. Hugo is met ons meegegaan om daar alles te vertalen en vooral te versnellen. Wat een service. Bedankt. Amarente is een tof stadje met leuke terrasjes en enkele winkeltjes. Er is een ecotrail fietspad die op 4km van het huis begint (oude treinbeding) dat prachtig glooit langs het landschap. Tot wel 68km lang.
Alles was top.

Um verdadeiro refúgio de paz! Tudo perfeito do início ao fim.Não há palavras suficientes para descrever a Casa do Fontão. Foi, sem dúvida, o sítio onde fui mais feliz, rodeado por uma tranquilidade absoluta e por uma beleza sem igual. O espaço é maravilhoso e transmite uma paz indescritível.Além do encanto do lugar, a simpatia genuína com que somos recebidos é incrível. Sentimo-nos verdadeiramente em casa, acolhidos com um carinho e uma autenticidade raros de encontrar hoje em dia.Tudo foi perfeito: o conforto, a envolvência e a hospitalidade. Recomendo vivamente a quem procura desligar do mundo e recarregar energias. Um obrigado do fundo do coração por criarem memórias tão bonitas. Voltarei de certeza absoluta!

Very quiet and peaceful . Well kept, immaculate with beautiful antique furniture. I loved sitting by the pool overlooking the mountains.

Incredible authentic place, booked it on the last minute, lovely rooms, staff terrific.
Had to go out for evening meal, but fantastic restaurant nearby.
Chambre,pour le confort. Le petit déjeuner, pour la qualité.
L accueil très impersonnel.
This is a very beautiful hotel with lovely decor and fantastic facilities. The staff were lovely and the bed was incredibly comfortable! The hotel was excellent value for money.. we’ve stayed in similar places elsewhere and paid 3 times as much for the same level of comfort! The hotel is a 1 mile out of town up a BIG hill but after three walks, it got easier to walk up it!
We really liked the hotel but… our bathroom in room 2 was a little snug which wouldn’t have been an issue if that had been made clear when booking.
Une magnifique demeure, nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Le petit déjeuner est de grande qualité, la gouvernante est très agréable et attentionnée. Nous recommandons vivement.
Atendimento, e conforto
un accueil tres chaleureux , la propreté des lieux, le calme, un personnel aimable et souriant, le petit déjeuner extraordinaire, la qualité du linge,
la taille de la salle de bain
Great staff. Beautifully furnished small hotel, spotlessly clean. Very comfortable bed and covers. Lovely breakfast. Quiet location. We intended staying just one night, then stayed two, then three, so speaks for itself.
Bit tricky to find. No other meals available other than breakfast, means travelling outside. Tea / coffee / self prep in room would have been good.
Todo. Es un sitio precioso y todo está perfecto

This was our second time staying at Casa do Fontao. They have made some updates to the property, adding a pool on the hill, and some new bedding and wallpaper. It still has that old villa charm, and is so well-decorated and clean. The two ladies who work there were so sweet and accommodating. Breakfast was great and they make eggs to your order. The terrace out back is a calm place to relax after a day in Amarante.
As it is not staffed 24 hours a day, we returned from dinner to a dark house. Some lights on timers in the common areas would be nice. But it’s no problem with the cell phone flashlight.
A qualidade da decoração, o bom gosto, o requinte do jardim
A televisão do quarto ganhava se fosse maior e colocada na parede, não tão alta. Eu retirava o espelho que está em cima de credência e colocava aí a televisão.

A estadia superou todas as expectativas. Foi tudo excelente, de salientar a limpeza, conforto e simpatia.
La propreté , l’accueil et le petit déjeuner extra
Beaucoup de codes pour entrer
Delicious breakfast in a beautiful room overlooking the countryside
It would be nice to meet the host on arrival.
La habitación era grande, espaciosa y luminosa, grandes ventanas con vistas al bosque y un pequeño balcón, el desayuno muy bueno y variado, Lourdes, la mujer que con mucho cariño y atención lo preparaba todas las mañanas, muy atenta a que no faltase ningún detalle y estuviésemos totalmente a gusto.
El alojamiento no queda cerca del centro de la localidad principal que es Amarante, está situado en La Madalena, lo que hace casi indispensable el uso del vehículo, que por otra parte es necesario si el huésped busca tranquilidad.
Gefallen hat uns alles. Gäbe es hier eine 11 würde ich diese Wertung geben. Ich bin grundsätzlich kritisch bei Bewertungen - aber die Casa do Fontão setzt neue Maßstäbe. Wenn man nach einem kalten Tag verfroren ankommt und dort in die warme Stube hineintritt, mit Glühwein empfangen wird und sich an den wärmenden Holzofen sitzt, fühlt man sich einfach von Anfang an wie Zuhause. Wir wollten am liebsten gar nicht mehr gehen :-) Das Zimmer war super gemütlich, das Frühstück total lecker, das Personal unglaublich freundlich und herzlich.
Nicht gefallen hat uns, dass wir irgendwann weiter reisen mussten ;-)
Tutto perfetto, una location di altri tempi.
De ontvangst was erg vriendelijk. De inrichting en styling van het hele pand, de kamer en de badkamer, waren sprookjesachtig mooi. Het straalde een enorme luxe uit. Het ontbijt was zeer goed verzorgd, ondanks dat we op dat moment de enige gasten waren.
Buiten was het die dagen behoorlijk koud en het lijkt alsof daar niet goed rekening mee is gehouden. De kamer was pas de volgende dag redelijk op temperatuur en de badkamer was niet warm te krijgen. Ook de temperatuur van de douche werd/bleef niet heet genoeg. Het rijmt niet met de luxe uitstraling, maar al met al waren we toch erg tevreden.
A casa tem um ambiente acolhedor. Com uma decoração natalícia que faz lembrar tempos de infância. A segurança de ter códigos remotos foi uma surpresa agradável. O pequeno almoço demarca-se pela variedade e por serem fabrico caseiro. A vista que oferece é incrível. E para além disso a receção foi calorosa pela visão entusiástica que apresentam deste projeto.
Tudo 5 estrelas.
Nada apontar.
Simpatia de funcionários, proprietários, ambiente, decoração, conforto e pequeno almoço. Recomendo vivamente para quem procura conforto, silêncio em ambiente clássico.
Não dá par encontrar pontos críticos
A casa é linda, muito bem conservada e o mobiliário e a decoração também são lindos. O pequeno almoço é ótimo e variado. A sala com lareira acesa também é um convite a ficar na casa a disfrutar.
Apenas a localização, com algumas ruas de subida um pouco acentuadas.
Excelente atención, amabilidad tanto por la dirección y gobernanta. Muy buenas instalaciones y desayuno de gran calidad. Nuestra nota es 10.
Fue impresionante el servicio y amabilidad de todo el personal y le deseo lo mejor a Hugo su propietario, porque sabe dar un servicio al cliente en todo
A casa é lindíssima e a paisagem que a envolve, também. Foi a primeira vez que fiquei em AL e gostei muito. O local é muito sossegado.
A casa fica bem situada, mas, dado que o terreno envolvente é muito acidentado, é necessário carro para deslocações a Amarante.
Do cuidado de um modo geral no serviço, mas particularmente em proporcionar opções vegan ao pequeno almoço.
Nada! Estava tudo excelente!!
Brilliant
De ontvangst, de omgeving, de sfeer van de accommodatie. Verder zijn we door de familie, Piedro en zijn vrouw super ontvangen.
Dorp Amarante is enkel met de auto te bereiken.
Très sympatique, très propre. Maison au charme portuguais
Foi uma estadia excelente, um espaço muito bonito, confortável e um serviço caloroso, atencioso.
Quiet and comfortable room and great breakfast in elegant dining room. Parking easy and 5 mins drive from town. Amarante is a beautiful town
Would like a mini fridge and kettle in room

La beauté du lieu , séjourné à Casa do Fontao est un voyage dans une maison bourgeoise portugaise du 18 ème siècle avec tout le confort, un petit bijou.
Superbe demeure, magnifique chambre. Matelas, oreiller et linge de lit de très bonne qualité. Le petit déjeuner extra, et la serveuse discrète et très sympathique
La qualité de l’accueil et du petit-déjeuner
מקום יוצא דופן אחוזה מהממת .בני הזוג שמנהלים את המקום.נחמדים מאוד ומסבירי פנים. כל הפונקציות שהמלון מציע נהדרות. המקום עולה על המצופה במחיר הזול. ארוחת הבוקר הכלולה בסגנון מזנון. פשוטה ומספקת. בערב בעל המלון המליץ על מסעדה באמרנטה. והתקשר לפני כן לבעלים שיטפל בנו יפה. כאשר הגענו חיכה לנו שולחן מלא בכל טוב של מזטים מקומיים.חף ממליצים מאוד להגיע למקום. לילית.
הכל הכל.
Beautifully restored home, amazing attention to detail. Comfortable rooms. Bed linen and towels very good quality. Lovely view of the region. Exceptionally clean. Friendly hostesses. Each room has a small fridge. The balcony is ideal for a quiet sunset drink. Close to the town of Amarante but you do need a car, approximately a 5-7minute drive to town. Great base for day trips in the area. Amazing breakfast.
Everything was very positive.
Le cadre vous fait faire un saut dans le passé. Vaste demeure bourgeoise au charme ancien. Chambre impeccable et confortable.

La vue sur la terrasse est extraordinaire. Les propriétaires étaient très accueillants et sont venus nous saluer à notre départ.
Beautiful mansion, especially the breakfast room, the garden and the lobby. Self check in. Can communicate with the host via whatsapp. Suitable for someone with a car.
The hair dryer is old and does not work
El desayuno estupendo.
La ubicación de la quinta alejada del centro de Amarante.
A decoração é antiga, mas muito bem cuidada. O quarto estava impecavelmente limpo e a cama era bastante confortável, permitindo um ótimo descanso. O pequeno-almoço também foi excelente. No geral, uma estadia muito agradável.
L'accueil (en français) des hôtes de la maison était très sympathique. La maison est magnifique,tout était parfait dans le moindre détail. Les petits dejeuner copieux et variés. Un rapport qualité/prix imbattable !

En gral todo estaba perfecto; quizás una t TV smart
Casa do Fontao exceeded our expectations in every way. The guesthouse is not manned by staff 24 hours a day, but their self check-in process worked well. We stayed in room 4, a junior suite. The room was modern, large, and had a large comfortable king sized bed. The bathroom was also very large and had a big "garden tub/shower." The entire guesthouse is appointed with beautiful, stately, mahogany style furniture. The morning breakfast was delicious and even included made to order scrambled eggs. The location is about a mile from the center of the old town, and sits at a fairly high evelation accessed by a fairly steep cobble stone street. It would be a tough trek if you were trying to walk it, but it is not an issue traveling by car. Casa do Fontao is managed as a family run business. The property feels like a 5 star experience at a 1 star expense. If it is available during your time in Amarante, book it. You won't be disappointed!
Everything was great.
