Pousada Brasil - São Miguel do Gostoso

Basic accommodation.

Breakfast was generous and tasty, with fresh bread, tapioca made to order and juice from fresh fruit. The inn is well located, and the service was wonderful. We booked for one day and stayed an extra night; when we got back, the room had been cleaned again. Even with renovations happening in one of the rooms, our comfort and peace weren’t affected at all. The staff were welcoming and attentive, the bedroom and bathroom were very clean, the linens looked new and fresh, and the air conditioning cooled the room well. The outdoor areas, especially the pool and garden, were kept clean and had lovely decor. Payment options include cash, Pix and card. You can book through Booking or Airbnb, or directly with the inn.

The air conditioning didn’t cool the room, the minibar didn’t cool, and the shower gave electric shocks. Awful. I told reception about the AC, then went to the supermarket with my girlfriend. While we were gone, someone entered our room and left a fan there, with our belongings spread out on the bed and everything in the room. That was disrespectful and an invasion of privacy. We paid for a room with air conditioning but had to sleep with a fan. I don’t recommend it.

I was at the inn for three days for work, and if all you need is somewhere to sleep, it’s reasonable. But I wanted at least to rest properly after being out all day, and the bed was so hard because it’s made of masonry that I woke up with a lot of back pain. One night I couldn’t take it and slept in a hammock outside the room. The TV is a very basic analog satellite set, and breakfast was basic too, things like couscous with sausage sauce or fried eggs. There’s also a simple minibar with water.
