Pousada Santa Felicidade Trieste z garagem

What an awful, embarrassing stay. The experience left us uncomfortable, and the owner seemed like a strange, poorly mannered man who made us feel afraid and tried to control when we could come and go. We were five people staying in two rooms. Before he'd even shown us the room, Sr Luis, the owner, was already asking for the remaining amount owed. The bath towels were very worn, and the cleaning was superficial. The nightly rate seemed tempting, but it wasn't worth it. On our way out on 19/11/2023, we were supposed to be able to stay until noon, as agreed. It started raining, so I asked if we could wait a little longer for it to ease. He refused. We went to the kitchen to call our Ubers, and he questioned us and told us to leave immediately because he was going somewhere. Our Uber took ten minutes, so we waited outside in the rain while he stayed indoors, showing no concern for us.

The price was decent for what you get. Our room had a double bed, a bunk bed, linens, and towels, plus a small bathroom with hot water. It's in a residential neighborhood, and there's a shared kitchen. There's a large dog on the property who's very gentle, but barks a lot when another dog passes the garage. The garage fits two or three cars. Sr Luis is attentive, maybe a bit too much. I get that he lives there and may have had some bad experiences before, but he keeps a close eye on things. Payment was handled suspiciously. If you go out at night, you have to be back by 10 p.m. or tell him you'll be later. The car has to stay in the uncovered area because he locks the garage when he goes to sleep. Using the washing machine costs 1.00 per item 💸.

The Wi-Fi worked well, and the shower had hot water, but I wouldn't recommend staying here. This isn't an inn, just a space at the back of the owner's home for guests. The bathroom wasn't clean, and we were very cold at night. There were blankets, but the room gets really cold because there's no heating. For the price, there's no real comfort. We were tired after a long trip and needed somewhere comfortable. I wouldn't suggest it for a few days, only perhaps to sleep one night, though even for that it's expensive.

It's a straightforward home with fully equipped rooms for guests. No luxuries or breakfast, but it's simple and hassle-free. I'd recommend it if you're staying nearby or driving along the coffee highway and need to sleep over before continuing the next day.
