Looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of Rio? There\u2019s no better place to recharge your batteries than the Solar da Ponte in the charming village of Tiradentes. Terracotta-tiled colonial buildings contrast against the verdant mountain backdrop of Serra de S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 while the peaceful atmosphere of this quaint town will make going home that much more difficult.<\/p>\n
Solar da Ponte is a 90-minute flight from Rio de Janeiro meaning it is ideally located for your much needed dose of rest and relaxation. Nestled in southeastern Brazil, the 18th<\/sup> century town of Tiradentes can be reached by car from Belo Horizonte where Pampulha\u2013Carlos Drummond de Andrade Airport is just a short 20-minute drive away. The town may be small and off the beaten path but the culinary scene here is something you can\u2019t miss. So prepare for a gastronomic treat during your stay.<\/p>\n Solar da Ponte was one of the first inns otherwise known as a pousada in this endearing town, which for us makes it even more of a special place to stay. All of the 18 apartments are decorated in a simple and elegant way so as not to distract from the beautiful natural surroundings and the intricate colonial buildings of Tiradentes.<\/p>\n We love uncovering hidden gems and while the architectural beauty of Tiradentes is obvious it\u2019s the food here that has caught our attention. Our stomachs have been won over by the delicious local flavors and we\u2019ll definitely be coming back for seconds. You\u2019ll be able to squeeze in a workout in between courses as you get back to nature on one of the hiking trails in the nearby mountains. Throw in the fact that Solar da Ponte is a little oasis of calm and you won\u2019t be able to resist Brazil\u2019s best-kept secret.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of Rio?
