Cozy Country House!

The house is super clean and the host provided so much great information on the area. Warm welcome included bread, cheese, milk and yogurt. Aside from an occasional crowing rooster, the surrounding village is cute and quiet. No hesitation in recommending this place!

Authentic Tradicampo

The best stocked place we have ever stayed in, fridge stocked with cheese, beer, eggs, coffee, fresh baked bread, homemade treats, rice, pasta, etc. Bikes were available, fishing rods and a croquet field! We were there mid March in bad weather, the inside of the house was quite cool, but with a fire going it was very comfy. Speaking of comfy, great bed!

Unique house. Amazing setting. Garden. You can hear the church bells and cows ,which makes it so special. The host is super knowledgeable and helpful. Ricardo met us at the property.

An amazing stay!

We had a wonderful time! The scenery and views were beautiful and the added touch of the church bells and the animal chorus will be etched in our memories forever. We loved having full access to the wood stove (but we apologize for depleting your wood supply). Thanks to Ricardo for being an exceptional host and for making our stay so enjoyable. Kind regards, Sherri and Don

Best Part of the Island

We have visited Sao Miguel many times and this was our first time staying in the Northeast district where this house is. We absolutely loved it, and Ricardo had excellent suggestions that helped us discover new hikes and adventures. The house and garden are beautiful and offer many places to relax and enjoy the countryside. Every detail was of top quality, including bathrobes, bread, butter and jams, an outdoor wood-burning grill, etc. I highly recomment!

Beautifully Restored 200 Year-old Stone Cottage

The cottage is beautifully situated in a small farming community. There is a large, well-kept garden, and a private parking area. The host, Ricardo, is extremely helpful and provided a ton of useful information re things to do and places to go on Sao Miguel. He also generously provided food basics to ease kitchen set up. The kitchen is well-equipped, and an outdoor fireplace provides opportunities for grilling. We plan to return!

A unique and peaceful place

We enjoyed our stay at Casa da Fonte very much. This is a place which is well embedded in its rural surrounding and grants nice views of the meadows, the village and the ocean. It is very convenient and well-eqipped; its cleanliness is remarkable and they offer a lot of information about hikes and excursions on the island which we considered in our planning. The garden is large and well-kept (unfortunately the weather was such that we could not make extensive use of the garden). The fact that the fridge was equipped with food for the first days of our stay was a surprise and we would like to say thank you for this. In total: a place which we would like to revisit.

Beautiful cottage in cozy setting

We loved our stay & the gardens were spectacular. Ricardo was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of helpful information. The home had everything we needed, including nice bikes. We had the pleasure of meeting Dahlia the caretaker & enjoyed our conversations with her. I would highly recommend stopping in Ponte Delgada at the huge farmers market to get your veggies for the week. They also have cheese, meat & a fish market. Ricardo’s wife made the most delicious Dona Amelia’s for us which we are going to try to replicate today (not tomorrow) because after a week of the most delicious Portuguese breads, cheeses & red wine we are off sugar for a couple weeks. 😉 The island was so clean, the people were wonderful, the roads in excellent condition, the trails were very well marked & the island was easy to navigate even when you don’t speak the language. I highly recommend a stay in this wonderful home & perfect paradise.

Sehr schöne Auszeit

Wir sind verspätet an unserem Urlaubsort eingetroffen, der Vermieter wartete jedenfalls geduldig. Genauso geduldig erklärte er in allen Details das Ferienhaus und Tipps für Ausflüge. Das Haus ist toll in einem kleinen Dorf gelegen, ist liebevoll eingerichtet und beinhaltet alles, was das Urlaubsherz begehrt. Wir würden es bedenkenlos allen empfehlen, die ein schönes Ferienhaus in einer schönen Gegend suchen.

Wonderful place

This old house is a lovely place - with a huge wonderful garden and stunning views on the ocean. Check in was easy, wine/bread/butter/cheese were there, so we had something to eat, when we arrived. The house was cleaned every third day and Ricardo took care of all questions quick & friendly. Only: the place is a little out of the way.

Absolut empfehlenswert

Bei dem Objekt handelt es sich um ein liebevoll restauriertes historisches Gebäude mit einem jüngeren Anbau in dem sich Bad und Wirtschaftsraum befinden. Auf dem abgeschlossenen Grundstück befinden sich ein gepflegter Garten und ein Parkplatz für ein kleineres Auto. Das Objekt entsprach genau der Beschreibung. Die Fotografien sind nicht geschönt. Ausgesprochen positiv überrascht waren wir von der Betreuung durch die Mitarbeiter der Fa. tradicampo. Ricardo und Joao haben uns mit allen Informationen zur Umgebung, zur Insel, empfehlenswerten Restaurants, Wanderungen und einer Menge Tipps versorgt. Delia hat alle drei Tage für eine makellose Sauberkeit gesorgt. Eine so gute Betreuung haben wir in allen Jahren, in denen wir regelmäßig Ferienhäuser mieten, noch nicht erlebt. Vielen Dank noch einmal an dieser Stelle. Lage und Umgebung haben wir mit vier Sternen bewertet, weil sich das Haus in einem kleinen Dorf ohne Restaurants oder besondere Sehenswürdigkeiten befindet. Für uns hat das keine Rolle gespielt. Die Ruhe haben wir vielmehr genossen. Wer aber auf solche Dinge Wert legt, sollte dies berücksichtigen. Fazit: Wir würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen.

Casa do Fonte - wunderbar!

Casa do Fonte ist ein wunderbares Ferienhaus in sehr schöner Lage in dem kleinem Dorf Algarvia im Bezirk Nordeste der Insel Sao Miguel. Das Haus ist perfekt eingerichtet für zwei Personen, mit gut ausgestatteter Küche, einem schönem Bad, gemütlichem Wohnzimmer und Schlafzimmer. Im Außenbereich gibt es eine große Terrasse mit Außengrill und einen schönen Garten mit Blick auf das Dorf und das Meer. Ein abgeschlossener Parkplatz für das Auto ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Für kleine Ausflüge in der Umgebung sind zwei Mountainbikes vorhanden! Der Service für das Haus ist absolut perfekt: Reinigung, Wechsel der Bettwäsche und der Handtücher alle vier Tage, Feuerholz für den Kamin, Toilettenutensilien, der Grundbedarf für die Küche und Aufmerksamkeiten wie leckere kleine selbstgebackene Kuchen und Likör von Sao Miguel werden bereit gestellt. Die Einkäufe für die Selbstversorgung lassen sich gut in Nordeste, der nächstgelegenen Kleinstadt erledigen. Der sehr freundliche Eigentümer gibt Ihnen hervorragende Tipps für Ausflüge auf der Insel, Restaurantbesuche und ist auch sonst in jeder Weise behilflich. In der näheren Umgebung finden sich wunderschöne Wanderwege und Rastplätze mit herrlichen Ausblicken über das Meer und die Berge. Von den Restaurants empfehlen wir unbedingt einen Besuch in der Cantinha do Cais in Sao Bras mit bestem frischem Fisch! In Nordeste sollten Sie unbedingt das Casa da Trabalho besuchen, in dem Sie sehr schöne handgefertigte Webwaren sehen und kaufen können. Wir haben bereits verschiedenste Ferienhäuser in Europa besucht und haben bisher in keinem besseren als im Casa do Fonte gewohnt. Für einen wirklich entspannten Urlaub in schönster Umgebung ist es in jeder Hinsicht zu empfehlen! Obrigado Ricardo! Claudia und Thomas aus Hamburg, Germany

Tranquil Garden by the Sea

We are wanderers and prefer to stay places where we learn something about the people and places we visit. Casa de Fonte is just such a place. Cozy and clean, the renovated stone house is perfect for two and can easily accommodate one or two small children. The casa is stocked with everything you need for a fun holiday along with some basic foodstuffs - including delicious handmade bread and homemade jam. We stayed here during the off season and experienced some chilly temperatures but managed quite nicely with the wood stove. We used the casa as a starting point to explore the spectacular island of Sao Miguel. Our host, Ricardo, was very helpful with recommendations on restaurants, shopping, hiking, and sightseeing. He was also responsive to any query or concern we had during our visit. The village of Algarvia is charming - hard-working farmers, tidy homes, horses for pulling the milk carts, goats, and, of course, cows. The local people were reserved and almost shy but ready to return your "bom dia" with a broad smile and a kind response. Make sure to visit Algarvia's Miradouro and bring a picnic. We spent our last evening there watching the gulls soar past the beautiful cliffs as the sun set to the west. A very memorable vacation - a place we want to return to.
