Ficamos no chalé Quartzo rosa e a experiência foi bem agradável no geral. A única sugestão seria melhorar o sistema da hidromassagem para que a banheira fizesse a manutenção da temperatura. Devido ao frio a água esfria rapidamente e não existe um termostato para manter a água quente. De resto foi tudo ótimo, tanto a acomodação quanto a equipe que é muito simpática e solícita.

A estadia foi surpreendente. Apesar de ter alugado de última hora, os quartos estavam limpos e preparados para nos receber. A pousada é linda e muito bem cuidada, proporcionando contato direto com a natureza. O café da manhã foi completo e muito saboroso (principalmente a quiche de alho poró que, com certeza, também será inesquecível). Agradecemos à Silvia e a Cida que estiveram conosco. Sempre atentas e prestativas.

Pousada incrível

O hotel possui quase tudo que desejamos em uma viagem romântica ou de descanso. Ficamos no quarto Ágata, O quarto em si era lindo, com a vista linda e uma calma que poucas pousadas/hotéis possuem. O quarto era muito bem arrumado e limpo, a banheira de hidromassagem é muito boa, mas o quarto peca por ter um chuveiro que quase não cai água, um chuveiro antigo. Acho importante que os donos troquem esse chuveiro. Outra crítica construtiva é tirar do anúncio que a pousada possui ginastica, pois a sala de ginastica não possui os equipamentos de ginástica. Fora isso, a pousada é incrível, os funcionários muito simpáticos e está do lado de Visconde de Mauá, eu indicaria e muito a ida para pousada. Eu já quero voltar.

Ótima experiência

A pousada é linda, os chalés são maravilhosos, aconchegantes e confortáveis. Passamos dias ótimos por lá. Alguns detalhes podem melhorar como a regulagem do gás para aquecimento da água, que fica frio pra banheira e quente pro chuveiro ou quente pra banheira e pelando pro chuveiro. Algo que me gera desconforto também são os pássaros em gaiolas. Lugar de pássaro é na natureza!
