Pontos positivos : família receptiva, lugar tranquilo!
Pontos a melhorar : aquecimento do chuveiro , água não estava quentinha e o colchão não estava confortável!
A pousada entrega aquilo que pagamos: R$180,00 pelo casal com uma criança de 4 anos.
As fotos e as avaliações do aplicativo Hotels.com não refletem a realidade.
Distancia do centro de Tiradentes 5km, acesso por 900m de rua de terra em aclive acentuado, quarto com camas, frigobar, ventilador, internet e TV. Banheiro rústico e chuveiro eletrico. Limpo. Estacionamento com 4 vagas para carros pequenos, difícil para estacionar. Café da manhã simples.
Os donos moram na casa principal da pousada que é bonita e rústica. São simpáticos e educados. Cães e gatos habitam o ambiente de alimentação.
A pousada está em obras e o ambiente externo não tem acessibilidade. Alguns pontos de risco de queda, principalmente para crianças e idosos.
Tem bom custo-beneficio.
Conclusão: quem quiser coisa melhor procure um Resort.
A estadia foi incrível o proprietário nos faz sentir-mos em casa. Tudo realmente feito com carinho. Um bom café da manhã, local com muita natureza. Adoramos.
O dono é uma simpatia em pessoa, muito educado, gentil.
Café da manhã razoável em virtude do preço, poucas coisas mas de qualidade.
Local da pousada um pouco distante do centro de Tiradentes e a rua não é asfaltada.
De modo geral um bom local pra se hospedar
Excelente pousada. Um lugar onde realmente nos sentimos em casa. Ambiente muito agradável e aconchegante. Receptividade e hospitalidade sem igual do proprietário Tiago. Espero poder voltar muitas vezes.
