They're super nice. ##### Anderson Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### John 15 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Upon driving about 5 hours we got there late in the afternoon and found the place closed. Yes, closed. Fortunately I had the cell phone number of the owner. Unfortunately I could only place calls via WhatsApp if I had internet service inside the hotels, which I didn't right that moment. Long story short, the owner had sold the pousada and somehow forgot about our reservations. But he was kind enough to find us a pousada very close which could take us in such short notice. I suggest everyone confirm their stays at least two weeks before arrival. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### IRAILTON DA 6 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Muito boa, top ##### IRAILTON DA Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DIEGO 13 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Espetacular Simplesmente espetacular!
