A small hamlet inside the natural park
Barranco da Fonte is a rural guesthouse in Alfambras, a hamlet in the municipality of Aljezur inside the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. It is a family project with ten accommodation units: six independent houses, each with its own kitchen and terrace, and four suites. Around them there is a pool with a hot tub, an artificial-grass padel court, an outdoor gym, a children's play area and a garden. The Rota Vicentina trails pass in front of the estate, so it is a natural stop if you walk the coast, and the Quarenta & Quatro restaurant is in the same house.
The houses and the suites
The houses suit families. House 1 is for two adults and two children, with a wooden ceiling, a sofa bed and a large terrace over the countryside. House 2 takes four, with a loft under the roof with two beds for the children. House 3, also for four, has a kitchen, living room and dining room in a single space and a terrace among bougainvilleas. Houses 4 and 5 are the largest: two bedrooms with their own bathroom each and a sofa bed, for four adults and two children. House 9 is modern in style, with sliding doors onto the common lawn, a few steps from the pool.
The suites have no kitchen: you have breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. Suite 6 has air conditioning and a rain shower; 7, a kettle and minibar; 8, a loft with another bed, for three. Suite 10, for two, is adapted for reduced mobility, with a walk-in shower, a fold-down seat and grab bars.
Services and hours
Check-in is from 16:00 and check-out before 12:00. Breakfast is served from 9:00 to 11:00 with local produce. The restaurant and the pool bar serve Portuguese cooking and cocktails. The house organises or suggests jeep and boat excursions, surfing, kayaking, cycling and walking.

From Huelva it is about two and a half hours along the A22 via Lagos; from Lisbon, about three hours along the A2. The surf beaches of Vale Figueiras and Canal are nearby.
