Perfeita!

Minha experiência na Pousada João do Sol foi muito positiva! O lugar é aconchegante, bem cuidado e com ótima localização — dá para ir caminhando até a vila (cerca de 700 m) e aproveitar tudo a pé, o que foi ótimo para nós. O quarto era excelente, espaçoso e confortável. A cama é simplesmente perfeita, proporcionou noites de sono maravilhosas. O banheiro também é amplo e bem estruturado, tudo sempre limpo e organizado. As toalhas estavam cheirosas e bem cuidadas, o que fez diferença na estadia. O café da manhã merece destaque à parte — completo e delicioso, com várias opções de doces, salgados, frutas e sucos. Foi realmente a melhor parte da hospedagem! Só não entendemos por que o café só é liberado a partir das 8h da manhã, o que pode ser um ponto a melhorar para quem gosta de acordar mais cedo e aproveitar o dia. A recepção foi boa, e o atendimento dos funcionários foi atencioso dentro do esperado. A pousada entrega muito bem o que promete, tem uma ótima estrutura e ambiente acolhedor. O único ponto que nos deixou um pouco apreensivos foi a porta do quarto, que às vezes não trancava corretamente — conseguimos trancar algumas vezes, mas em outras não. Apesar disso, não tivemos nenhum problema durante a estadia. No geral, me hospedaria novamente com certeza! A pousada tem ótimo custo-benefício, conforto, limpeza, e um café da manhã de hotel 5 estrelas. ❤️ ⭐ Nota: 9/10

Excelente pousada. Muito linda e acolhedora, café da manhã excelente MAS depois das 23hs não fica funcionário algum! Nem recepção ou vigia. Os hóspedes ficam por sua conta e risco. Nunca vi isso em minha vida. Me senti muito insegura mesmo estando em grupo.
