There are places that host you and there are places that leave a lasting impression. This chalet in São Thomé das Letras definitely falls into the latter category. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with special care by Márcia, who escorted us to the chalet. Right away, what impresses most is the seamless integration with nature. Every detail seems carefully considered to provide peace, coziness, and connection to the surrounding environment. The chairs on the balcony, the sun lighting the landscape, and the sounds of nature create a simply enchanting setting. The chalet is simple but extremely welcoming. The comfortable bed, warm blankets, rugs that add to the cozy atmosphere, plus a mini‑fridge, TV, and a small table for meals or conversation make the stay very pleasant. The bathroom is compact but fully functional, and the shower deserves special mention: one of the best hot showers I’ve ever taken. In São Thomé’s winter, that makes all the difference. The breakfast is delicious and well‑served, with fresh fruit, cakes, cookies, bread, cold cuts, juices, and excellent coffee to start the day in the best possible way. But the real difference of this place lies in its hosts. Márcia and Silvano are extraordinary people, those encounters that enrich a trip. Beyond impeccable hospitality, they bring contagious energy, great wisdom, and genuine love for the region. As long‑time residents of the city, they know every corner, every story, and every trail. We had the chance to go on a guided walk with Silvano, which surpassed every expectation. We trekked trails, waterfalls, and breathtaking landscapes between the cerrado and the Atlantic Forest. His knowledge of fauna, flora, local history, and natural beauties turned a simple walk into an unforgettable experience.
