Appalling! After driving miles on small road to arrive at location, we were approached by security guard who vehemently denied our entrance. We explained we came from far away and that we would like to check out facilities for party and future vacation plans. However, no great explanation given, we must look scary. Perhaps we didn’t look rich, famous, worthy of their time, whatever the reason, unacceptable. If at least an explanation or perhaps instructions for appointment but simply disdain. Our conclusion is that this place doesn’t deserve our
business. Fancy and elegant??? No way, indeed very inconsiderate and rude. Disappointed.

We booked this accomodation for one night in August. After visiting Rio we wanted a hotel were we could relax and enjoy nature. Parador Santarém is the perfect getaway! While staying there, not many tourists were there. Just the four of us with one other small group. We got the family room which was spacious, clean and had an amazing bed and bathroom! The garden together with the pool, small lake and the mountains in the background make this place almost magical. The employees of the resort were very friendly and helpfull and even though not everyone spoke English that well, everyone was trying to make our stay the best. We had dinner at the restaurant that night. Amazing dinner! Although we were the only table that had dinner that night, the atmosfere of the cosy 'livingroom' was perfect. All compliments to the chef and the waitress that helped us choose the meals. After dinner everything was made ready for us to be able to set down in the Spa area. The hottub and sauna were very relaxing! To conclude: if you are in close to Itaipava, pay a visit to this accomodation! It is amazing!

this place is magical, surrounded by mountains and nature, it is very peaceful, the decor country and tasteful. The employees are very attentive. It is close to city center and makes it an ideal spot to relax.
