Paraíso Rural

Mario, the employee, did everything he could to make things a little better for us, and the surrounding area is incredibly beautiful. Still, we didn't get the few restful days we came for. The property isn't fenced or secure, and for three nights in a row some hooligans banged on the door and rang the bell to harass and intimidate us. We were traveling with a baby and were terrified, so we had to call the police. The houses are very run-down, with chipped or broken furniture and floor tiles that could be dangerous for children. The old kitchen utensils and damaged pans were in poor shape too. The pans had scratched, broken Teflon coating, and cooking left black powder on everything. The price is very, very high for this quality. You'd expect better accommodation at that cost. It's a shame they don't invest more, because the beautiful area could have five-star cabins, but these aren't.

The staff were great and the accommodation was very good. We booked specifically because we wanted to use the barbecue, then found out when we arrived, after we'd already bought the meat, that barbecuing isn't allowed in summer. I hope they let guests know about that restriction beforehand so this doesn't happen to someone else.

Mario was really attentive and gave us tips on places to eat, things to visit, and routes nearby. We stayed with our dog, who loved exploring the natural surroundings. Keep in mind that the grounds aren't fenced, especially if your dog likes to roam. There's a restaurant just a few meters away, and a reservoir about 15 minutes by car where you can do various activities. It's a peaceful spot surrounded by nature, great for switching off.

The restaurant a few meters away is fantastic, and waking up to that scenery is priceless. Mario was kind and attentive to what we needed from the moment we arrived, which made the stay much easier. A fantastic place to unwind, and definitely a great choice.
