An exceptional country inn located in the delightful historic village of Tiradentes A short flight (or 5 hours' drive) inland from Rio, in the state of Minas Gerais, lies Tiradentes, an enchanting village of leafy squares, Baroque churches and cobbled streets. Set against the Sao Jose mountains, it is utterly picturesque. Solar da Ponte, "the house on the bridge", is a landmark in the state despite never being advertised. So renowned are its owners, English nature lover John Parsons and his Brazilian historian wife Ana Maria, that throughout Brazil any talk of Tiradentes will invariably include the Parsons and their charming traditional country inn. This colonial-style manor house with its 18 rooms elegantly furnished with antiques, local artworks and fresh flowers has been nurtured over the last 30 years to become the very best of its kind. It's deeply civilized: afternoon teas are a highlight, whilst its gardens with orchids growing in the trees and visiting marmosets never let you forget where you are. A good excursion from Rio. read more and book at i-escape 5 / 5 Description by commercial partner i-escape Have you been here? Why not add your own review. |
