Quinta Da Praia Das Fontes

A very nice surprise. A cozy Quinta close to Lisbon. A green and quiet oasis and excellent location in Alchochete. Close to the historic center, right on the water. Great for birdwatching as well.The rooms are well appointed and the breakfast is excellent with local fresh produces.

The room is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The breakfast was very good, with fresh products, some of them local. The location is fantastic, right by the river with a great view of Lisbon, and very close to the centre of town (restaurants, bars, museum, etc.) also, there is public transport to Lisbon close by.

In "The Adventure of Silver Blaze," Sherlock Holmes comments on the curious incident of the dog that barked in the night. That was the main problem of our stay at this hotel. The hotel allowed two dogs to roam free in the gardens, on which our room backed, and the dogs barked loudly until at least 1 AM. When we complained, the dogs were locked up for the next two nights but were out again on our fourth night. The other problem we had was figuring out how to work the shower, which has both an overhead and a hand-held fixture. It was not clear how to get the overhead to work, and we managed to flood the bathroom when the handheld came on instead and shot water everywhere. We had to use all the towels, which are mostly so thin we had to use the pool towels as bath towels, to soak up the water. Otherwise, we were mostly pleased with our room, which was large and clean, with plenty of room to unpack for four nights. Some of the furniture was rather worn, but the room was still attractive, and it was sufficiently well lit that reading was not a problem. The knob and lock on the outer door were set so low you had to bend over to lock and unlock the door. You have to be careful about opening the door, as the area swarms with mosquitos, and as careful as we were, some got into the room. The hotel has a very nice breakfast buffet served in the former wine cellar, and there are many good restaurants close by. A nice place to stay, but bring ear plugs in case the dogs are loose.

A traditional Quinta located opposite Jardim da Primer on Av. Dom Manuel I and the statue of Estatua Dom Manuel I. It is also on the shore of the estuary of the River Tagus. There is street parking in front of the building. Our room had ornate furnishing and was accessed off a large cobbled courtyard with some mature gardens at the rear. An excellent continental breakfast is served in a vaulted room accessed from the road. Early morning provided some good birdwatching along the shoreline as the tide was out with a good number of waders. Alcochete is a bustling waterside town and makes a great location to stay just a short drive from the city of Lisbon.

A real portuguese rural house, great charme, quiet, with gardens, very near to Lisbon centre (10 min driving + 30 min ferry, or by bus) . Warm welcoming by the local lady Mrs Robelio, flexible and helping. A place to go for relax after a day in hectic Lisbon. Some apartments have kitchenette and private garden. Excellent for couples and also for families. Warmly recommended.

Excelent place to stay. So calm and quiet with all that you deserve for a great rest. Room was big and had all you need. The garden and the pool….perfect. Very good breakfast and the staff was great. Its very well located in river front and near great restaurants. Highly recommeded
