Chalés do Zé Velho, a cozy and unique place

Those who go to the Retiro do Zé Velho cottage in Rio Manso, travel the last kilometers, before arriving, on a small, poorly signposted dirt road, up a hill. At the destination, the visitor is already toasted with a stunning view from the top of the Viamão hill. It is the first impression and the beginning of a period of great relaxation and immersion in nature. The space The 50-square-meter chalet has a balcony with a hammock facing the valley, where peace and tranquility reign. Inside, visitors find a well-equipped kitchen and a fireplace, inviting for cold winter nights. The queen-size bed and a wonderful double whirlpool guarantee the delight of guests, who feel embraced by nature: the chalet is all glazed, and it is possible to see, from inside, the guinea fowls strolling in the morning while looking for breakfast on the lawn. The property also has a common area, which is an old barn transformed for games, reading or leisure moments. A larger kitchen allows for group dinners or lunches to be scheduled there. Next to the shed is an infinity pool, framed by flowers and country trees. Everything, always, with that same breathtaking view that captivates every visitor upon arrival. In addition to relaxing, there are programs that can be done right there, such as horseback riding in the region or hiking. There are rivers and even waterfalls to refresh the ride. At night, in addition to the small-town charm of Rio Manso, visitors can also visit Bonfim, a nearby historic town with a good range of restaurants and bars in its historic center, such as typical Portuguese colonial houses. And for those who want to enjoy it, Brumadinho and the Inhotim Institute, the largest open-air museum in the world, are just a few kilometers away: you can make a round trip and still catch the sunset behind the hills.
