Aldeia da Fonte Nature Hotel

Basalt-cottage nature hotel on Pico's south coast with free dog stays

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A nature hotel of black-basalt stone houses in woodland on the sea cliffs near Lajes do Pico, with a restaurant, a sea trail, sea access for swimming and a yoga centre. It calls itself dog friendly and charges nothing for pets. It suits a quiet Pico stay with the dog, walking the coast between the vineyards and the whaling village.

Why it's in the collection

The hotel's own Trilho do Mar sea trail runs through its grounds along the cliffs, and Lajes do Pico, with its whalers' museum and harbour front, is about 3 km away.
