Nossa estadia foi muito boa! Observei alguns pontos que podem ser melhorados, como mais limpeza nos banheiros, e melhores condiçoes do colchão/cama box. Suas laterais estavam rasgadas, não causando boas impressões. No mais, tudo nos atendeu! Esperamos voltar assim que possível. Abraços e sucesso!!

O acesso a rua é por uma ladeira bem ingrime que com chuva nao dá pata subir com carro pequeno e cheio. E não aparece essa ladeira e/ou informação Foi bem estressante a chegada pois havia chovido. O café da manhã vai ate 09h:30m mas no 1• dia de um feriadao acabou o obo mexido e o único queijo disponivel. Bolo de chocolate acabou os 3 dias do feriadão. Café da manhã pode ser melhorado bastante sem maiores custos. Infra da pousada boa.
