Pousada do Ipe — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Goiás - Itapuranga

It's actually quite hard not to recommend this Pousada, although we personally had some challenges during our stay. It's most definitely part of a full experience of this historic city, being a historic hotel itself, and, at the same time, offers an experience close to nature, w/gardens from where the kitchen staff gets some of the fruit served at the above-average breakfast buffet. Everyone is quite nice - Cleidemar, the manager, was very helpful when I arrived w/changing a tire that blew on the way there (I strongly recommend that one drive over Goiania to come to Goias - not any other route, as we did on our way there).||||The challenge we had involved the bar - which, by the way, makes excellent caipiroscas. We were at the Pousada for a choir meeting - our daughter is member of a youth choir. Unfortunately, members of an adult choir thought they had the Pousada to themselves and the bar manager did a very poor job of controlling the noise these people made for 2 nights until 2 - 3 a.m. They are great singers, but drums, guitars and voices when you are trying to sleep are not very welcome. Admittedly, we were given full refund of what we had spent on food & beverage at the bar, which is the place where we had breakfast and serves as pool-side bar during the day. The pool is a great location for kids, btw.||||Room was simple, but operational. Did not use the A/C much, though probably needed it - we don't have one at home, so we're not used to the sounds it makes.||||Despite our not-so-perfect experience, I still feel confident that most people will like it. Unlike previous poster, I do speak Portuguese, so communication...

We loved this pousada. The breakfast, which was included, was delicious - everything was homemade. The cook gave us pao de quejo hot from the oven, the jams were made from strange brazilian fruits (as well as recognisable ones), there were several different types of cake. We ate our by the bright blue pool that reflected the bright blue sky. The room was very reasonable - largish with a double bed and ensuite. As with all the other places I stayed in Brazil, the shower was not that warm. There was air con, but it was very noisy so we opened the windows with the shutters closed all night and that was fine. The main building of the pousada is an original 18th century colonial style building with white walls and green shutters. Inside the decoration is like something out of World of Interiors. The staff speak only Portuguese but made the effort to understand our sign language! Overall a great stay and highly...

We were traveling with another couple. Our first choice was sold out and we came here. The rooms are VERY RUSTIC and charming. That said the beds are tourtuous. It was like trying to sleep on a bag of rocks. The staff was very nice and the property charming but the BEDS were so horrible that my nerves got pinched and that ruined my next day. I can also say that this is not a very welcoming town for tourists. Things get started very late in the evenings and are not advertised. The townsfolk seemd distrustful of tourists with the understandable exceptions of resturant and store owners. Once church let out at around 9PM, things picked up and we had some fun. The next day I spent all day twisted in pain as we made...
