Pousada Santa Thereza Hotel Serra Negra

Review by hotel critic

As an adventurous traveler from Toronto, I recently had the opportunity to stay at this lovely Pousada nestled in nature, and it was a unique experience worth sharing. The property features a heated swimming pool, just a stone's throw from a serene river, making it a perfect spot for relaxation after a day of activities. The accommodations were spacious, with a comfortable sitting area, mini-fridge, and modern amenities. I appreciated the gardens and leisure areas for quiet reading time. One standout feature was the adult-only policy, contributing to a peaceful atmosphere. The hospitality here was commendable, especially the personalized attention from Vanessa, the owner, who made us feel right at home. There's also a small gym, sauna, and professional massage services, ideal for unwinding. The inclusion of a nightly soup option was a thoughtful contrast to heading out for dinner. While the amenities lean towards luxury, the overall experience felt balanced for the price paid. For active travelers like myself, this Pousada is a strategic base in Brazil—offering comfort without compromising adventure, making it a wise financial decision for those seeking both luxury and value.
