The hosts were wonderful, very welcoming and kind. The breakfast was amazing. The room is probably the nicest we've ever stayed in. I would thoroughly recommend staying here. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Luisa, the owner is extremely sweet. She made us feel like being home and part of her family. Welcome drinks with cheese and home made jam with biscuits, delicious and abundant breakfast. She always wanted to offer us more to eat whenever she saw us. The room is spacious and clean, garden is beautiful with sunset view. Our 3 nights stay was our best experience in Portugal.

Lars Spain

What a beautiful stay. The owner was such a lovely lady, she offered us cheese and wine upon arrival. Our room was lovely and spacious and had air conditioning. Breakfast was very nice and included cooked eggs, fresh fruit, and cheese and ham. The location was great for us on our way to the Douro Valley. We could park securely in the premises. Would happily stay again in future.

Natalie United Kingdom

This place is excellent. The hosts are a sister and brother and they are delightful. Great welcome wine and cheese, port for a nightcap and a magnificent breakfast. The best place we have ever stayed in Portugal.

lady who runs the hotel is a one off, quite a character and sincerely wanted us to enjoy our stay. lovely old Portuguese property full of old things to look at. even the breakfast was served up differently to other hotels. A place to visit to enrich your life.

Exceptional house breakfast and very generous hostess

Felicity United Kingdom

Everything about Casa do Fontao exceeded our expectations. The house, the beautiful classy interior design, the amazing garden, the fabulous view, the clean and elegant room and the cosy, warm beds. But the best part of our stay here was the amazing hospitality of the host. She treated us like royals welcoming us with cheese and wine and spoiling us with rich, healthy breakfast.
