Fonte Santa

I mean, it provokes mixed feelings, the excellent staff, the scarce dinner offer, but very good what they have, the breakfast very very good, but...... the facilities despite being clean have known better times, absolutely angry with the "spa" area, broken Turkish bath, all the space neglected, I think they should not publish this space, this offer inclined us to decide on this hotel and was very disappointing.

The setting of the hotel is pleasant in the middle of nature, the pool is very beautiful but a little cold. The rooms are old and deserve a refreshment. We were disappointed by the restaurant where we had to wait more than 1h30 to have our dish. Too expensive too

For decades, my Portuguese wife and her family used to go here every year. I visited about 20 years ago and loved it, too. We went back to have a look. In 2025, it is as charming as ever. The swimming pools in that setting are stunning and it is so private. The architecture of the hotel, especially the common areas and the artwork and sculptures are in a very classy 1930s style with some modern twists. It's a very social place with families quietly enjoying themselves poolside or playing dominos or table tennis in the commons and bar area with lots of nice sofas and tables. I can't really speak to the food as we had other plans made. The rooms could use a little updating but they are fine. Unfortunately, I think the thermal spa that was adjoined to it has closed permanently, as have all the facilities in Monfortinho bar the hotel. There is no corner shop. There is no pharmacy etc. I do hope the local council try to bring back Monfortinho. It is a special place and there are fabulous gems to see within a short drive, like the world-famous village of Monsanto and much nearer, Penha Garcia.
