Pico Still grows

It was released this month the statistics of overnight stays in the Azores. Accounting the first 6 months of the year the island of Pico was the only island that had positive growth in the number of overnight stays! And in 2nd place is the neighboring island, Faial, with negative growth of 5.7% over the same period of year 2011.

New Concept

The new website of Aldeia da Fonte – www.aldeiadafonte.com - shows for the first time the Fonte Resort concept and Aldeia da Fonte Nature Hotel. Our space is a truly Resort because of the spaciousness of our gardens/park and the number of facilities we offer within the premisses with no cost for our clients. We are a Nature Resort with a Nature Hotel being reciprocally complementary making it an original concept in the Azores.

Fonte Hotel - Aldeia da Fonte NEW WEBSITE

With new image, logos and remodelation, Aldeia da Fonte hotel will soon have a brand NEW WEBSITE!!

Camels lookout Whale Watching Tower

Fonte Hotel - Aldeia da Fonte located over the "Bay of Pigeons" in the south of Pico island, Azores, and next to Pico Mountain is just in the center of one of the best world sanctuaries of whales and dolphins. These cetaceans live here all year round and it is possible to see them in the middle of winter. Because we are a Bio and Nature Hotel we want to offer our guests the best of our environment we decided to build a private Whale Watching Tower (as you can see on the picture) according to the traditional layout of the old towers. From there our guests can and do watch plenty of sea birds, dolphins and whales. Tipically they spend hours observing the sea and enjoying a very powerful experience full of positive emotions. Our watching tower as become a landmark and a symbol of our hotel contributing to our policies of health and wellness and boosts the natural capacities of the Azores Islands.
Travel to Azores is going back to unspoiled nature and staying in our hotel, a Green Lodging facility is a lifetme experience.

Loving Pets

Fonte Hotel - Aldeia da Fonte is welcoming small pets because we are animal lovers and we know that when you travel you worry about your beloved pets. Pets, after all, are as much part of this world as ourselfs and biodiversity is one of the keywords for life quality and to happiness.
We, humans, are not alone on this planet and we should care about all the other living beings as our companions on this short life of ours.
Therefore our hotel welcomes pets from whom you don't want to separate.
Please let us at the time of booking the pet you are bringing with you and as many details as possible. We will do our best to make your staying unforgetable.

Remodelation finished.. at São João building

As a result of official approval of the remodeling of the hotel, Aldeia da Fonte has remodelated the São João building.
We should like to mention that all our buildings have names of the different hamlets of Lajes do Pico Municipality.
We modernized but keeped in touch with the classical/charming decor of the hotel. All the pictures we are going to use to decorate de rooms have been taken in location as well as people who live there. This way it will be possible to enjoy the outstanding location and gardens of the premises but, at the same time, be in touch with local people and different local sceneries.
We want to offer our guests a truely azorean experience wich will of course include our excellent fish and meat. And the emotions will carry on to our Whale Watching Tower, the NEW sea lounge, that we already shared the pictures, and our special swimming pool just above the Atlantic ocean.
