Nota 5.

A pousada entrega aquilo que pagamos: R$180,00 pelo casal com uma criança de 4 anos. As fotos e as avaliações do aplicativo Hotels.com não refletem a realidade. Distancia do centro de Tiradentes 5km, acesso por 900m de rua de terra em aclive acentuado, quarto com camas, frigobar, ventilador, internet e TV. Banheiro rústico e chuveiro eletrico. Limpo. Estacionamento com 4 vagas para carros pequenos, difícil para estacionar. Café da manhã simples. Os donos moram na casa principal da pousada que é bonita e rústica. São simpáticos e educados. Cães e gatos habitam o ambiente de alimentação. A pousada está em obras e o ambiente externo não tem acessibilidade. Alguns pontos de risco de queda, principalmente para crianças e idosos. Tem bom custo-beneficio. Conclusão: quem quiser coisa melhor procure um Resort.

O dono é uma simpatia em pessoa, muito educado, gentil. Café da manhã razoável em virtude do preço, poucas coisas mas de qualidade. Local da pousada um pouco distante do centro de Tiradentes e a rua não é asfaltada. De modo geral um bom local pra se hospedar
