Guests come to Esmoriz for a quieter Atlantic coast stay, or for work in the region’s industrial and commercial centres. Hotel La Fontaine sits in the calm town close to its Blue Flag beach, with road access to Ovar, Espinho, Santa Maria da Feira, Porto and Aveiro. Nearby, the Barrinha de Esmoriz lagoon has boardwalks for walks and birdwatching, while the beach is known for surfing and time in the sun. For an offsite, the appeal is the combination of coastal surroundings and access to regional business hubs; the hotel’s website does not describe meeting or event rooms. Guest rooms include balconies, and some family options have a separate adjoining living area.
