Pousada da Estação

The team was attentive, the service was good, and breakfast was delicious. The inn itself was exactly the kind of cozy place I wanted, with hammocks, a fire pit, little benches, lawn space for sitting or meditating, and a pool. I came hoping to be close to nature, unwind, meditate, and get away from my routine, so at first I was delighted with all the different areas. Then the noise took over. The inn is right beside a very noisy train station, and I never imagined it would be this loud. Trains came through at 2 a.m.; by 5 a.m. there were bangs on metal doors, truck and train whistles, and all sorts of racket. The lawn mower added to the disruption during my stay too. There was no peaceful night’s sleep, and an afternoon nap was out of the question. I came here to rest and that was the one thing I couldn’t do. It’s a shame, because the place is really pleasant, but the location doesn’t work for a quiet break. Maybe it suits a short stay, just a weekend or one night, though even then you may not sleep. The noise was unbearable.

The breakfast had very few savory choices, just cheese bread and bread with ham and cheese. We stayed over the Easter holiday, and both check-in and check-out were handled virtually. I liked the room setup: a double bed on the mezzanine and two single beds downstairs. Since the place is surrounded by nature, little creatures are to be expected. The location was the downside, as it’s close to the train station. Trains arrived noisily at night, even sounding their horns as they entered the station.

The rooms were awful, there was no service, and the place felt unsafe. They advertise one thing and deliver something else, and they don't give your money back. I really can't recommend it. Terrible.

The standout was our host, sra. Marilda. She was so attentive and helpful, always checking that guests were comfortable and even helping us choose tours. The whole stay was an incredible experience, and I plan to come back again. The inn was spotless, and breakfast was wonderful too.
