Casa do Chafariz

José very kindly greeted us. The guest house, located on his property, was very inviting to enter. His wife had baked a cake for us, and he had some fruit in a basket, water and a bottle of wine; which was very much appreciated. The location is about a 10 min drive to Viana do Castelo. We loved the location because it was quiet and felt very relaxing to be away from a city centre. While it wasn't beach weather while we were there, there are a few nearby that are well worth visiting regardless. José recommended Praia da Arda and it was absolutely beautiful to go see.The house itself was a nice size for us, and the grounds are stunning. We didn't have much time to sit outside and eat, but wish we did because it was serene.All in all, we would absolutely return. Thank you so much José and wife.

Jose fully deserves to be rated as a ‘super host’. The property exceeded our expectations and Jose was a generous and thoughtful host. The property is extremely comfortable and well-equipped (including a superb music selection!), conveniently close to a supermarket (though Jose also provides restaurant recommendations) and the garden is a beautiful and relaxing space in which to eat or simply ‘chill’ after enjoying a walk along the coast. We also appreciated the loan of bicycles. We had a really super week. Thank you, Jose!

All good - accommodation and Jose the host. Definitely be recommending to our friends.

We spent a wonderful week-end at the casa do chafariz. José the owner did everything to make us feel at home and we really appreciated his dedication. The house was clean, very well organized, with fresh fruits, nice coffee and a welcome gift. The view was amazing and we were near several hiking trails. We are happy to recommend this accommodation.

We have traveled to Portugal several times and it has drawn us back once again. This time we have found an oasis on the outskirts of Viana. The house has beautiful views of the ocean and countryside, not to mention the lovely gardens and accommodations. There is easy access to the property and the great ocean beaches nearby to walk, swim and to enjoy great sunsets. As enthusiastic hikers, we were delighted to find the Coastal route to Santiago de Compostela passes by the house. Jose and his family made us feel welcome from the start with many special touches to make our stay delightful. Some rental homes lack character and charm, but we knew from time of arrival that House of the Fountain was special. We hope to make a return visit. Thank you Jose Howard and Giselle from Canada

We arrived to our beautiful villa welcomed by Jose, who had gone the extra mile by providing some little surprises , ( I won't spoil it for others who stay as it is Jose attention to detail that make the holiday, mean that little bit more special) We adored the whole Portuguese experience very much and as others have said, Jose goes out of his way to make your stay comfortable. The big plus for us was the gorgeous sunshine. We would love to visit again in the near future, Gary and Chrissy Williams

The holiday house had not only everything we needed and even more, a washing machine. We used the nice garden infrot to have breakfast or dinner, wich we prepared in the perfectly equipped kitchen. The look to the sea was real! We had a wonderful time!
