There was a sign on the main street indicating where the hotel was. We proceeded down a quaint but steep cobblestone street and were greeted immediately by staff, who took our bags and parked our car for us in the inn's private lot. Check-in was easy despite the language barrier and staff couldn't have been friendlier. Our room had arched doorways, wood paneled ceilings and double door windows overlooking the valley. We loved the sounds of roosters and barking dogs in the morning when we opened our windows. The roads are steep in Ouro Preto, so maybe not for everyone, but we enjoyed exploring the town by foot and the challenges that posed. The walk was about 10 minutes to the central square, but there was a shuttle provided by the hotel if we preferred. Morning breakfast was wonderful--good coffee, lots of fruit, and LOTS of bread choices!! The public spaces of the inn were well furnished and interesting, especially the glass-topped table with many minerals and gem stones on display. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back again if we ever visit Ouro Preto in the future.
