I am glad we stayed there if only because John helped us solve our car rental issue (our car was leaking and we had to change it but Hertz Brasil on the phone is in portuguese ONLY. So he helped us tremendously. The hotel is still a construction site and we didn't know about it either, so we couldn't use... More

This historic building is beautifully maintained; is in a great location and is truly to be recommended. The late afternoon tea is particularly lovely. We stayed on the third floor, in a two bedroom suite, which has a single bathroom. One bedroom has a queen size bed; the second bedroom has three single beds, perfect for young children. As our...

We recently spent two days with two well-travelled friends from New York at the Solar da Ponte and all agreed that it is among the best of hotel experiences. The house is exquisitely designed and maintained, the rooms extremely comfortable, the hosts (John, Ted and Ana Maria) are fantastically hospital, the breakfast and afternoon tea scrumptious. Tiradentes is a lovely... More
