    You might have trouble getting hot water in the afternoon — be sure to reach out to the host if you have difficulty, and they’ll solve the problem!

    The host is the kindest, most helpful hotelier in the world. It’s worth staying for him alone! Also, breakfast is splendid, and my room was beautiful.

    Historic and charming accommodation with spacious rooms, balcony, and parking. Very impressive. Maria and the staff were quick to respond to any questions, provided information and excellent service. The challet is right in the center of Alcobaca and you can walk to all restaurants & attractions.

    Can't think of a thing I did not enjoy!

    Was my favorite accommodation of the 3weeks in Portugal and 1week in Spain. Challet Fonte Nova was 5star, like a little piece of paradise. The grounds are rather large, private, and lush. It was peaceful, I enjoyed listening to the birds in the mornings, and I enjoyed the balcony overlooking and listening to the fountain often as well. It was the only accommodation during the month that offered wash cloths and a bath mat, which I loved. (Portugal has very slippery showers - take heed.) Challet excels in providing a pampering experience from linens to atmosphere. The staff was pleasant and the man who coordinates breakfasts went above and beyond by making a special trip to the store to buy oatmeal for my friend, ...and made it for the first time in his life, JUST for her! Unbelievable! Parking (smaller car is best) is onsite and there's an elevator. Walking into the heart of Alcobaca was easy (easy for Portugal), and driving to the other sites on the Silver Coast was easy from Alcobaca. If I return to Portugal, Challet Fonte Nova will be the first accommodation I try to book.

    Nothing.

    Great location near downtown Alcobaca. Easy walk to monastery. Also a great centralized home base for 2 days of exploration in Tomar, Nazare, Obidos, Fatima - all spots easily reached from the Challet. Fantastic, friendly staff. High quality breakfast and service. Easy check-in and out. Parking available onsite.

Excellent breakfast with high-quality, fresh ingredients. Highly recommend it over any other property in Alcobaca. 5 star experience all the way!

    If I was to make one small comment, my guest room was a little dark and appreciate more direct sunlight from outside.

    This beautiful boutique hotel has old world charm , set in beautiful manicured gardens. A peaceful oasis on the edge of the city. A great location for exploring everything on foot. Maria, the owner, was super welcoming and a kind and gracious host. The choice of bed linen and blankets were unusual, extremely comfortable and stylish. The breakfast was served beautifully, incorporating delicious regional cheeses, exotic fruit.and freshly made juice. The staff were extremely accommodating, polite and helpful. I will definitely return in the not too distant future.

    Nothing, everything was perfect!

    This challet is a hidden gem of Alcobaça and Portugal in general. Only 15-20 min from the famous Nazare beaches, and in a very quiet, cute town. The staff was very much welcoming, and the place met our expectations: it is exactly like in photos. It has an antique build with very modern upgrade, and only 2 minutes by foot from the town centre, which has a lot of restaurants and cafes for lunch and dinner. Breakfast served at the challet was delicious with variety of baked goods, fruits, chees & ham platters, etc. I will definitely come back at some point! Thanks Pedro & Maria for the amazing stay <3

    The staff were lovely, the breakfast was amazing and the service during. I fell in love with my room which was a Junior Suite, the bathroom??? The bathroom is amazing. The styling of the whole place is beautiful, and it’s nice and quiet, a short distance away from the busier part of town. I think it’s probably one of the best Hotels I’ve ever stayed in, immaculate.
