Loved it!
Pros:

My stay was absolutely wonderful! The property is stunning, with a beautiful setting that immediately feels welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety to start the day right. I especially loved the swimming pool, it was clean, inviting, and perfect for relaxing. Every aspect of my stay exceeded expectations, making it a truly memorable experience

Cons:

The only thing to mention is that there are no lunch or dinner options available. It would be nice if they could provide some basic snacks, like crackers, toast, or other simple items

A fantastic stay, thanks to the wonderful staff, perfect location, and delicious breakfast.
Pros:

Our stay at Casa de Noronha Lima was fantastic. The location is unbeatable—tucked away on a quiet street but just a short walk from all the main attractions. The breakfast was a highlight each morning, with a delicious selection of fresh, local foods that gave us the perfect start to our day. Highly recommended!

Cons:

We understood that the staff was dealing with challenges from the nearby fires around Alvarenga. However, this seemed to impact the maintenance of the facilities, particularly the swimming pool. It was in need of a cleaning, which affected our ability to fully enjoy it during our stay.

A natureza, aliado com a arquitetura incrível do espaço tornaram a estadia simplesmente fabulosa.
Pros:

A simpatia dos funcionários é incrível. A propriedade é maravilhosa, a comida deliciosa!
Tivemos muita pena de termos ficado apenas 1 noite. Iremos voltar com toda a certeza!

Cons:

Como crítica construtiva acho que poderiam ter mais espreguiçadeiras disponíveis para os hóspedes e todos os quartos deveriam ter no WC um local para pousar os produtos de higiene pessoal.

Comfy, relaxing, amazing food, and super fun activities nearby.
Pros:

Probably my new favourite stay!

- Breakfast and drinks were homemade and very, very good. Way above your average hotel breakfast!
- The service and attention to detail are outstanding. Sandra clearly loves what she does :)
- The room I stayed in was very comfy and they cleaned it up DAILY.
- The view is beautiful and you often get to see the clouds below the mountain in a sea of fluffiness.
- Good internet (over 100MB/s download & upload outside the house).
- Partner activities like rafting, canoeing, and canyoning are great fun and very professional.

Bonus: The pool uses salt!
Can't wait to come back.

Cons:

Everything was perfect, I literally have no complaints. I suppose I wish the public transportation on the way there was better, but that's about it, and I'm usually very picky!

A hidden gem that surely won't stay hidden for long :)
Pros:

We experienced amazing hospitality during our stay. The building was extraordinarily refurbished, and will be especially appreciated by those who like the character and spaciousness of historic homes. The pool was a lovely place to spend the afternoon, especially watching the sunset over the valley while having some wine and cheese. We enjoyed the large and delicious breakfast, too. We'll definitely come back.

Cons:

Nothing
