"The hotel appears to be made of different buildings. Because of this, it makes the hotel wonderful to explore. The breakfast is also very nice, with a wide variety offered. Two of us were there for nine days. The room we were in was very nice but a little sparse as it didn't have a place to unpack your clothes. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again."

When is the best time to go to São João Del Rei?

During these months, you can expect mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for exploring the city's historic streets and baroque architecture on foot. There's also less chance of rain, which means your outdoor plans, like visiting the Igreja de São Francisco de Assis or taking the historic steam train to Tiradentes, are less likely to be interrupted.

For those who prefer a livelier experience, planning your trip around local festivals can be rewarding. The Holy Week (Semana Santa) celebrations, usually in March or April, are particularly renowned for their religious processions and cultural events, though the city can be very busy at this time. Similarly, June brings traditional Brazilian winter festivals (Festas Juninas) with music, food, and dancing.

Couples looking for a romantic escape might prefer the shoulder months of April, May, or September. The weather is still excellent, but the crowds are generally smaller than during the peak festival periods, allowing for a more intimate experience.
