Tons of places to lounge.
The different chalets… we stayed in the highest one!
The entrance to our chalet. To get to your room you kind of “climb” through these rocks (which are actually stairs).
Our bathroom with the reflection of our room through the mirror. You can’t see the shower here – besides being horrible, it had barely any pressure.
The swimming pool and the waterfall – amazing place to chill after a visit to the museum.
Instead of chilling on the swimming pool deck, we stayed on our veranda drinking wine and enjoying the view.
The first thing you see when you walk into Inhotim. Breathtaking!!! A place where you feel, quite literally, in the middle of nowhere. Almost 400 artworks by 80 artists are on display at Inhotim.
Adriana Varejão Pavilion.
The view from our room during the day.
Highs & Lows
-
Breathtaking experience to wake up early and see the sun rise in the valley. And at night you see more stars than you can imagine existed.
-
Delicious Brazilian breakfast! Pão de queijo (cheese-balls), a variety of breads, cheeses, cakes, everything!
-
Rooms are pretty big and really comfortable (they all have a very cozy fireplace).
-
The hotel rests upon a mountain so all of the rooms have an amazing view. The chalets (all distant from one another) are built directly over the ground (no leveling was done) so you actually “climb” to the rooms over the rocks, which resemble a stair.
-
They cleaning staff did not clean our room! But they were all very friendly and explained that we didn’t leave the keys in the reception (apparently they only have one key per room).
