Hotel Refugio Vista Serrana

“A real escape”

My stay at the hotel was supposed to be for just one night, for I was attending a wedding nearby and the bride and groom were kind enough to refer it to the guests, so we wouldn't have to drive back and forth to São Paulo, and therefore, could enjoy the party.

My stay at the hotel was supposed to be for just one night, for I was attending a wedding nearby and the bride and groom were kind enough to refer it to the guests, so we wouldn't have to drive back and forth to São Paulo, and therefore, could enjoy the party. But from the start, it was a lovely surprise. The staff was ever so friendly and helpful, greeting us and showing us around the place, that's a little like a labyrinth. Our room was clean and spacious - very simply decorated, yet funcional. Good pressure on the shower, comfortable bed, wifi service... Plus a great outdoor leisure area, with swimming pool, sun bathing area, jacuzzi, bar service and activities for kids - all with a great view from the mountain side. What I loved best was the spa treatment offered, with several kinds of massages - all for a very reasonable price and so good. The masseuses were just amazing, very friendly taking their time to explain the different techniques and executing them. Breakfast featured several options of bread, fruits, cakes - plus eggs and a selection of different coffee blends. Lunch was also offered in a buffet style, with plenty of greens, different options of pasta, rice, meats and garnishes, plus desserts. Very homely if not a tad expensive. It was a perfect escape from the city and a great spot to unwind and relax under the sun. I ended up staying the weekend ;)

“escale séjour”

Nous avons passé une nuit à Sao Paulo entre les vols de Lima à Campo Grande et avons passé ici.

Nous avons passé une nuit à Sao Paulo entre les vols de Lima à Campo Grande et avons passé ici. C'est un trajet relativement longue (à environ 40 minutes en fonction de la circulation) en taxi de l'aéroport à l'hôtel, qui se trouve sur le bord d'une falaise au-dessus de l'autoroute derrière des portes fermées. Étonnamment, cependant, vous ne voyez ni sentir l'autoroute une fois que vous êtes à l'intérieur. L'hôtel était en travaux pendant que nous y étions à la mi-août ( d'où la note moyenne), mais notre chambre était super (même si c'est un peu sur la petite) et le personnel était adorable. Personne ne parlait pas l'anglais, mais nous avons obtenu par avec l'aide de Google Translate. Notre séjour était un vendredi soir, et il y avait un buffet avec des plats pour le dîner.

“Bien situé, des gens sympa, moyenne propriété.”

Ce qui vous frappe à cet endroit est qu'il est un peu à l'écart de l'autoroute et très calme. L'impression générale de l'endroit est un peu triste. Ceci dit, l'emplacement est fabuleux. Les gens sont très bien ( c'est un peu de lutter comme seul couple d'eux parlait peu l'anglais). Les chambres so… Plus

Les gens sont très bien ( c'est un peu de lutter comme seul couple d'eux parlait peu l'anglais). Les chambres sont moyennes et services avec en-dessous de la moyenne. Je crois que deux fois pour être ici. J'ai dit que cette propriété utilisé pour être centre de-toxicomanies avant c'était transformé en un centre de villégiature.

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights whilst in Brazil. We were attending a friends wedding in the Mairiporã area and wanted something out of the city. We hired a car whilst we were here and didn’t realise that the highway is apparently the most dangerous in Brazil! We didn’t find it that bad at all though. They just drive with no speed limit in mind. The hotel itself knew little English which was okay as we used Google Translate for anything important. It was their winter when we arrived so the nights were a little cold. Our room was very chilly so had the heater on most of the time. We spent one day by the pool here and the weather was great. The view is lovely except for the highway that runs on the other side of the valley. A bit unfortunate. They also had some sort of event or conference on over the weekend when we were here so the guests were quite loud until at least midnight. The food for breakfast, lunch and dinner are good as you have lots to choose from. As a gluten free vegetarian I was mostly on salads. Unfortunately that is the culture in Brazil! The hotel is nice but basic in most parts. Enjoyed our stay but I would say it is a little pricey for what you get.
