My stay at Boutique Hotel Castelinho was truly nice. The charm of the hotel, with its spacious rooms and high ceilings, made for a wonderful atmosphere, but navigating the steep hill to get there required some planning. The breakfast was good, featuring fresh and delicious options, though I found the choices somewhat limited.

I had a great time at the hotel, with the beautiful room and amazing breakfast being standouts. The only downside was the occasional challenge in getting cabs, but once I got moving, Santa Teresa's charm made it worth it. Overall, I felt peaceful but a bit isolated during my quiet stay, even though I was busy exploring during the day.
