Hotel Caldas da Imperatriz

I didn't know what to expect when I booked my stay here for only a few days to try it out. I was truly amazed by the incredible understated elegance of the place. The staff are amazingly proud of their dedicated service to the clients and if you look closely, you can see all the details laid out for you. I found the meal service to be absolutely outstanding in variety and sophistication. Although the place is old, worn and loved by many, the warm water is clean and high quality and worth exploring. The river and nature changes throughout the day. I found the sounds very relaxing and slept very well. It is steeped in history and has a long list of dedicated pilgrims who come at least every year for a week or two and know each other and the staff. This is a real community that will welcome you. If only I had booked a week or two, I could have experienced a deeper and longer relaxation and unwound from the stresses of everyday life. I highly recommend the privilege to stay here as one of my favorite places I stayed on my trip.
