Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small property, limited rooms — With only 10 rooms, availability can be tight and the setting is intimate — not a large resort.
  • No pets allowed — The pousada does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for animal companions.
  • Check-out window is early — Check-out starts at 08:00 and ends at 12:00, which may feel early if you prefer a leisurely morning.
  • Distance to waterfall — Toca Waterfall is about a 25-minute walk away, so it's not immediately on the doorstep.

9.6Verified guest

“Perfect for a weekend escape — close enough to walk into town for dinner and exploration, yet privately tucked away. The place was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, with well-tended, lush gardens. We loved the daily breakfast, always fresh and generous. The friendly hosts went above and beyond for our comfort, and the thoughtful touches helped us disconnect from our busy lives. Unbeatable value for money.”
