Fonte Santa Manor House

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in Porto.The property was clean and well kept. Bed made everyday. Nice towels. But towels not changed everyday unless requested? Compact and well designed room. Lovely view of the town below. We could see the Douro River from our room. Beautiful sunset sky. Simple but nice breakfast. Very friendly staff. Family run guest house.

An individual hotel with just four bedrooms. We had a wonderful view across to Porto, and it was generally quiet. The staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast on the terrace was very enjoyable. The bed was large and comfortable though we would have liked a bit more privacy for the toilet and shower room. As we're English we would love to have had a kettle in the room for an early morning cup of tea!! However, the minibar with fridge was very useful. All in all, we would be very happy to return one day!

Excellent place. Staff are amazing. Very friendly and helpful.

Wow! My stay at the Fonte Santa Manor is probably one of the best stays I’ve had in my life- and not just a bed and breakfast. The property is gorgeous and it feels like you’re staying in a beautiful and familiar family home. The staff was truly incredible, they were wonderful and kind- and very helpful to help me plan my short stay in Porto/ Vila Nova de Gaia. They were also truly beyond accommodating. We had a very early flight out and they made sure that my family and I had breakfast in the morning, which really came in handy. Oh and the breakfast is delicious. The breads were incredible. The rooms are beautiful, everything very new and beautiful and the bathroom is very nice. They didn’t have an iron for my clothes when I was there, but I was told they would be getting some. My only issue- and it was barely an issue was the key for the front gate. It can be difficult to learn to open and close. But once you do, it’s fine. The location is great. A short bit steep walk down to the waterfront- but be careful and watch for cars. Or you can take an Uber. It’s also very close to the stop for the bus tours. All in all, amazing stay. :)

Stayed here in Gaia during a visit to Porto. The accommodation was beautiful and serene given the location away from the buzz of Porto but close enough to access Porto by foot. August, the owner, takes great pride in this exquisitely renovated home that goes back generations. The breakfast was delicious with fresh juice, fruit, a selection of breads, honey, jams, eggs and a gorgeous dining room or spacious and quiet terrace overlooking wildflowers, a pond, and gardens. It was hard to leave this tranquil space. Staff were highly professional. Thank you August.

I’ve traveled a lot in my life and this is probably one of the best stays I’ve ever had. Such a beautiful small hotel/b&b, the rooms are absolute perfection, and the customer service is amazing. They think of everything and they go above and beyond for all of your needs. I will definitely be back, hopefully in the next few months. Oh and the view from the outside sitting area is gorgeous.
