Fodor's Expert Review Solar da Ponte

In every respect—from the stunning antiques to the comfortable beds to the elegant place settings—this inn is a faithful example of regional style. The gardens are beautiful and the pool area is stunning. The hotel serves an afternoon tea with a selection of cakes and breads baked on-site. With sufficient notice, the English owner and his Brazilian wife can arrange historical, botanical, and ecological tours on foot or horseback. This hotel is located right next to the bus station and it is just a stone's throw from all the action, but far enough to provide a good rest and relaxation.
