The hotel is ideally located to explore the Lake District of Rio de Janeiro state and very close to the beach. The rooms, though very basic and not properly clean, offer good value for money. The service is extremely friendly and accommodating, always available and proactive. The dining experience, while basic and serving essentially the same dishes every day, offers local cuisine. The facilities are satisfactory but could use some improvement.
