Igarapé hotels

Pros: Wonderful hosts in Maria and Willem. Food breakfast and dinner both delicious. Very comfy beds. The pigs, goats and turkeys, lovely views from swimming pool, just perfect.

Cons: Nothing, we loved it all!

Pros: Everything was perfect!! The hostess are so polite and gentle!! Maria and her husband Willem were so nice to deal with,and they made that place so nice to people there

Cons: The access to the pousada,the road is not so good to drive on!

Pros: Absolutely perfect stay at Solar Maria Carolina. Excellent service and food, we loved the goats, pool was the perfect place to be after Inhotim (which is only a 20 minute drive away). It was a perfect weekend and we will return for sure!

Pros: Super. Hosts gracious and made a very pleasant stay for a single 70 year old man to stay while visiting Inhotim.

Pros: It’s a beautiful farm house surrounded by gorgeous nature with comfortable cosy chalets. It is a wonderful place for families (has a nice swimming pool) but also quite romantic for couples. The owners are so friendly and helpful, the nicest people! This is the best place to stay if you visit Inhotim Museum which is amazing by itself. We loved Solar Maria Carolina!!

Pros: Wonderful owners, great facilities with a swimming pool and nice common areas, a beautiful room with a personal touch. Complimentary drinks & snacks a big plus.

Pros: Wonderful hospitality. Loved the animals.

Pros: We are fussy travellers when it comes to picking hotels, and were very happy with Solar Maria Carolina. Best accommodation option for those travelling to Inhotim, it’s 20min drive away.

Pros: Very welcoming staff, excellent breakfast and we truly recommend the evening meal at the restaurant!

Pros: Everything was nice and clean. Very friendly staff

Cons: Loved pretty much everything. If anything, they need to improve the WIFI and TV.

Pros: Cleanliness, beautiful decoration and excellent food!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great bed, nice view, awesome garden.

Pros: Everything was perfect. The host is very nice and is willing to offer the best for us to have a great experience. And it worked perfectly. The room is big and well equiped. Everything is thought in the smallest details: from the high quality of the sheet to the bed to the fresh herbs on the dishes. You can have dinner there and the food is homemade and tasty. The pousada is located 45 min away from Inhotim. I can only recommend this bed & Breakfast.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The view was amazing, the hosts were extremely nice and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. It was quiet and georgous. We ate goiaba straight from the tree and enjoyed the nature around. The breakfast was insanely good and varied.

Pros: Really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of tjis little hidden away haven, loved the views and countryside around. Lovely people too, very attentionate !

Cons: The place is not easy to find but we were picked up from nearest town by the owner, I think we would have possibly prefered Brazilian food at the restaurant nonetheless the breakfast was delicious

Pros: The best atmosphere of the mountains mixed with a very cosy hospitality. Everything was amazing, from colonial breakfast to very comfortable bedroom. And the staff... nice, friendly and helpful - they gave valuable advices on routes to arrive and depart. I strongly recommend this place to stay if you want to relax at night and wake up slowly and energised in the morning to visit Inhotim, like we did (it's 45 minutes by car).

Pros: very beautiful located isolated in nature, rooms set up and furnished in superior quality, very kind and friendly owner

Pros: I loved my staying at Lares hostel.

Pros: We loved how clean and modern the room was! The breakfast was amazing and we had the best scrambled eggs here! The owner was very nice and helpful and we would recommend to everyone to stay here when visiting Inhotim. We felt super welcome :)

Pros: The property was clean, comfortable, and very pretty. The ladies that work at the hostel are a charm, very helpful and gave suggestions on where to go and what to do on free time. I had a blast and even requested to stay longer!

Cons: There is nothing I did not like.

Pros: We left for Inhotim soon after the breakfast, just glad that it was finally over.

Cons: Our stay was disappointing from the start, and ended up resembling a very bad joke. We got there after a long hot day at Inhotim, craving a shower and were instantly surprised by the info that they didn't provide towels for free, which wasn't informed anywhere on the hostel page. We asked for towels, accepting we would have to pay R$ 5 each, and were then informed that they were out of clean towels whatsoever. The attendant (Juliana) didn't even consider finding a solution, didn't even pretend to, not even bothering to say "I'm sorry" and all she did was offer us hand towels. We left the hostel with bad directions of where to find a supermarket and bought towels for R$ 25, the cheapest we could find. Back at the hostel, we're finally going to have our shower and all that comes out is a thin stream of dripping, cold water. We ask for help and Juliana fumbles with the knobs and says she can't make it work, again no solution is offered and no apologies either. She did say she could call a plumber IF WE WANTED, but stressed that she didn't know if he would come or when. We end up talking to the people staying at the room with a communal shower and figure out a schedule so we can all share the one working showerhead in the hostel. The shower that was "working" didn't have a knob at all (it lay rusting, discarded inside the bathroom) and a KNIFE was placed inside so you could turn it on, MacGyver style. Very handy. Time to go to bed, we try to place the old fan so that it faces the bed and the top part just FALLS OVER. We see that it was already broken, and just barely assembled so that it stood. By this time we've given up on any hope of help from Juliana so we just try to fix is ourselves and end up managing to balance the thing, praying it won't crash while we sleep.

Pros: Location, breakfast

Cons: Shower

Pros: It was a perfect place to unplug for the weekend. I did one day trip to Inhotim and one day trip to Ouro Preto. Yvine is the most gracious host and an amazing cook. Her two dogs are so loving, I already miss them. Google Maps showed the location of the pousada to be on Rua Dois in Casa Branca. It is not there. It is Rua Dois in Palhano. When I realized I was not at the right spot, Yvine immediately and graciously sent her friend to find me and drive me to the pousada. I could not have been more grateful.

Pros: The owner was very friendly and helpful. The property and garden are extremely charming. The room is modern and very comfortable. The host is a good cook and we had a nice dinner eating risottos. The breakfast was amazing with local cheese, jams, cheese breads, fruit, good tea. A very good address.

Pros: We spent two wonderful nights at the Ai Mi Manera Bistro e Pousada. The Pousada is located in a quiet, peaceful location. Our room, on the second floor, was large and airy, with a very comfortable bed. The room also had a big porch off the back. From the moment we arrived until our departure, Yvine was a fantastic host, always available if you needed anything or suggest things do. In addition to the two excellent breakfasts, on one night we had dinner in the Bistro and appetizers and drinks on both evenings. Yvine is an excellent chef and the food is outstanding. She also took the time to talk about how she prepared the food and share some of her experiences working outside Brasil. We were so comfortable at the Pousada, it would have been easy to just stay there and do nothing else, but there is a lot to do and see in the area. We hope to return to Ai Mi Manera in the future.

Pros: Yvine’s pousada is amazing. I had the pleasure of staying two nights during my visit to Inhotim and both nights were wonderful. Yvine is a master chef and my meals- breakfast and dinner- were all delicious. The room was very comfortable and WiFi super fast. Adorable dogs and terrific service!

Pros: The owner is super friendly and a great cook!! She has an open kitchen and prepares your meal right in front of you so we were able to have great conversations :)

Pros: The hostess is really kind. The house and place are beautiful. The food and breakfast are excellent.

Pros: - Quiet location - New and clean facilities - Bed and sheets

Cons: - Size of room and furniture distribution (there was very little space between the wall and the bed) - They were very short on staff the night we spent there - They don't have a readily available vegan option at the restaurant (and you WILL probably dine there)

Pros: (Room 3) Cosy and well maintained property, with beautiful gardens surrounding the rooms. Big spacious bathroom. Nice breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. 15 minutes from Inhotim.

Cons: (Room 3) The pathway to the rooms may become slippery when it rains, and can be tricky for the elderly and/or disabled. If you are not using GPS or something alike, it might be a little difficult do find the place.

Pros: Quite place surrounded by a lot of nature

Pros: Nice setting Pastel de banana for breakfast Tea and cake as welcome in the evening

Cons: No Black tea avalable at breakfast

Pros: Amazing staff. Great value.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The staff , Marcia and Logan were amazing, super friendly and always available for help. The place was super cute, full of nature and very cozy. The breakfest was delicious specially the breads ...

Cons: Nothing . We love everything.

Pros: The breakfast was AMAZING!

Cons: Pillows and mattress could be better

Pros: Nice setting, nice finishings, good restaurant bistro, friendly staff.

Cons: Some sounds from the neighborhood, but really still recommend it for those visiting Inhotim and the Brumadinho area.

Pros: The staff who had limited English with us having no Portuguese, made heroic efforts to accommodate our needs. This included the Bistro staff which had excellent food. And they arranged our transportation. The rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable. A perfect place to stay for our 3 days visiting Inhotim!

Pros: My husband and I had a great staying. We were located to apartment 2 and had a great view of the mountains and green area.

Pros: The restaurant service personal was really nice, Éricles in special.

Pros: Extraordinary view from the balcony and the rural atmosphere with open air restaurant. The food is good too. The breakfast spread is splendid. I am guessing this pousada is the best in town.

Cons: The cocks (and hens?)cry at any time of the night. In medley. Well, you realize you’re in the countryside. When checking out, they forgot that we already paid half on arrival. So it took time to correct this when we had planned to leave asap for the airport.

Pros: Clean, very comfortable, lovely rooms with a small balcony, queen bed, and a very accommodating and friendly staff. Along with a typical (wonderful) Brazilian breakfast - breads, cheeses, ham, eggs, fruits, coffee etc.,- the hotel restaurant is open for dinner and the food/wine was very cosmopolitan and very good. In addition to visiting Inhotim, Ouro Preto is a wonderful 2 hour drive through hills and farm areas from Brumadinho, and the usual on-line mapping apps navigated the drive easily (as well as the drive to/from Belo Horizonte). Inhotim, Ouro Preto, and the drive through the hills from Brumadinho to Ouro Preto were the highlights of our trip to Brazil. This hotel was a lovely place to anchor those visits.

Pros: Staff were friendly and very accommodating.

Cons: The room was a little dark, polished concrete floor with no rugs was a little stark. The food was OK bit the steaks we ordered were overdone. Breakfast was limited.

Pros: It was beautifully designed and kept with lovely grounds. The restaurant was very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A perfect base for Inhotim.

Cons: We liked everything.

Pros: It is very well located - and convenient to get to Inhotim institute. Nice breakfast and friendly sly staff. Food was good but I would recommend to dine out.

Cons: Air conditioning wasn’t working on day 2 evening which made it difficult to sleep in the heat. There are a lot of roasters outside sonic you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs.

Pros: lovely people

Cons: Cockerel that woke us at 4am and trains thro the night Very poor sleep

Pros: All

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very thoughtful staff, beautiful facilities.

Pros: Calm atmosphere. Nice staff. Lots of trees around.

Cons: No restaurant around. No sunbathing chairs around the swimming pool. A bit far from Inhotim compare to what is advertised (a good 30-45 min drive)

Pros: This is an absolutely adorable special place to stay. The first thing is the way you are treated by the staff....its like you are invited to stay in a wonderful house...you can wake up when you want, eat when you want....the food is great but its a really wonderful part of being at one with nature. Simple clean comfortable rooms, watch the ducks while you have your breakfast. So much to love. Thank you for looking after us.

Cons: We only stayed two days. Wasnt enough.

Pros: Very comfortable. Good Restaurant. It seems to be the next hotel to Inhotim, which is really worth to Visite.

Cons: Location. The City is really boring, no Restaurants at night during the week.

Pros: I liked the staff charisma and its promptitude, as well the breakfast quality and the transfer service

Cons: Localization is a quite far from city downtown. Just this.

Pros: Localization, breakfast and restaurant: the foods is amazing!

Cons: Nothing to comments. As attention point: I suggest a sensor near the garage door to enunciate when a guest car approaching (inside and outside).

Pros: It is clean and very nice staff.

Cons: First, it is not a pousada. It is a hotel with 20+ rooms. The location has no interest whatsoever and it is far from the inhotim park (30mn drive). Rooms are noisy. Breakfast is straight out of supermarket and unpacked in front of the guests. Restaurant food is very basic and does not reflect the incredible variety of Minas culinary culture. In short, it is a cheap traveler choice.

Cons: Old stuff, room not well maintained. Wiring of electrical shower visibly unsafe. Pousada refused to give us accurate information about places to eat as they have an own restaurant.

Pros: park and closeness to Inhotim

Cons: nil

Pros: The location, the cleanness, the leisure options and the staff. The pool is also great! The lake for fishing. The place is awesome! We really enjoyed stay here!
