Staying at Pouso do Chico Rei on my recent trip to Ouro Preto was a little bit like a fantasy of traveling back in time while remaining in a progressive, thoroughly modern environment. Credit goes to the physical building itself: a beautiful colonial home right across the street from one of Ouro Preto's many significant churches. But beyond the beauty... more

i booked this lovely friendly pousada because of recommendations in guide books. it's a beautiful experience in itself. The rooms are beautiful and the whole place shows the mark of exceptional good taste. The pousada tried very hard to accomodate and even anticipate my wishes. The rooms ( I booked so late - I stayed in 3 different ones!) were... more

My sister and I spent three nights at Pouso do Chico Rei. We were completely charmed by it the minute we stepped inside. We loved the character of the well-cared-for wood floors and antique furnishings. Our room had two very cozy beds, a desk and chair in a sun room, and private bath with plenty of hot water. All the... more

Well, I can only confirm what the other travellers posted. Excelente location, quiet, wonderful view of the roofs of Ouro Preto, a time travel in a beautiful old house with beautiful old furniture. The breakfast is served in a nice room downstairs, you really have this flair of being in the country side. Wonderful. However I must comment on one... more

Really a nice place to stay. Location is especially good, just two minutes from the main square but in a quiet street. Some rooms have a wonderful view. Not all have a private bathroom. Very friendly owner. Good breakfast. Charming old house. However, not a hidden secret as a previous writer commented - it is mentioned by Lonely Planet, and... more

This delightful pousada is hidden away behind a unpreposesing exterior just round the corner from the main square. The interior has been lovingly restored, keeping the original floors, ceilings and many of the antiques. It almost feels as if you are staying in a private residence with Maria Helena your welcoming host. Everything is spotlessly clean and the beds are... more

The online website was very inviting. We arrived to find every detail perfect starting with a central yet quiet location. We stayed for a week in the Pablo Neruda room with sweeping views out two windows. We slept on 18th Century beds, yet enjoyed internet access and big screen TV for Superbowl Sunday. Our host Maria Helena was very generous... more

This family owned bed and breakfast is a charming gem in this mining town, Ouro Preto. The mansion within the city’s setting gives you a glimpse of living during the previous centuries of the historic city. The owners, staff and dogs were very hospitable making you feel right at home. A delicious full breakfast was served every morning, included in... more

We stayed here just because the other reviewers gave it such a great write up and we were not disappointed. The location is perfect, central but not too noisy. The Pousada is just gorgeous full of old furniture and comfortable beds. The breakfast is perfect - not too much to choose from, but everything was just right. I felt as... more
