About

Pousada Santa Thereza

Pousada Santa Thereza sits along Rod. SP 147, about 10 minutes by car from Secretaria Paroquial Paroquia Nossa Senhora das Brotas. The property has 14 rooms that open onto garden views, with a river just steps away for a soundtrack of running water.

The pousada is adults-only, so the atmosphere stays quiet. Days are spent by the heated outdoor pool, in the sauna or steam room, or stretched out on a sun lounger. A restaurant and poolside snack bar serve meals, and the homemade breakfast gets consistent praise from guests.
