Comments from those who have already rented: “We were greeted by Dona Dirce with coffee and cornmeal bread. She gave us instructions and came back every day to clean the rooms and bathrooms at the agreed times. The house is new and spotless. We used everything: the wood stove, outdoor shower, hammocks and a little garden that is next to the large veranda at the back of the house. Great location, just behind the Matrix. You can walk down to the center. You can also walk to a waterfall that has its own entrance near the road to São João del Rei.” – Martus, December 2022.
