Pousada Bolicho Guabiroba

The owners were so attentive and nice, and the cabins felt really cozy. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it if you're after somewhere peaceful with privacy. It's also easy to get to the city center and to the two main attractions, Fortaleza Canyon and Itaimbezinho.

We stayed August 25-27, 2023. The bed was comfortable, the nights were completely quiet, and the host was polite and helpful. The downsides were the breakfast and a few practical things. We expected a buffet because breakfast was included and that's what we'd seen online, but what came to the room was the food shown in the photo, with little variety and not much of it. There was no room service on Saturday. The gas shower only got warm with low water pressure, so it was a weak shower. There's no TV in the cabin, and we had to get out of the car to open and close the gate every time we left, in bitter cold. The air conditioner also stopped heating for no clear reason during the night.

I've known the owner, Neco Varella, for years. He's always cared about giving customers good service, and he makes excellent beer locally. I recommend the place.

The setting is beautiful and a good place to get away from the city and spend less time on phones and TV. The inn's owners and staff were all very attentive, and breakfast was delicious, with breads and things to go with them. We loved our stay. The homemade pizza with the craft beer made there is worth trying, though you need to arrange it ahead of time since both are made at home. We hope to come back.
