Ouro Preto, the colonial crown jewel and Brazil's first designated World Heritage site, is not an easy city to find your way around in. Cobblestone streets are so steep in places as to bar vehicular traffic, but if your car's slipping clutch can manage to claw its way to the gorgeous church in Largo do Rosário you will come face...

The hotel is nice but has seen better days. Unlike the other reviewers, we had 2 bedrooms in the back overlooking the garden and it was very quiet. One of the showers was leaking and couldn't be fixed while we were there. The staff doesn't speak english so you should come prepared and know what to do in town because... More

I really enjoyed my stay at Solar do Rosario. The Hotel is very charming, well decorated and really takes you back on the days. The location is great because it's walking distance to a lot of restaurants, museums, shops and the main historical sites. The staff is very nice, friendly and helpful, they were able to find me a private... More

Our travel agent recommended this hotel. It is a lovely building in a convenient part of town surrounded by the historic parts of Ouro Preto so views from the rooms on the frontage are quite gorgeous. But the noise from traffic on the cobbled busy street can be intrusive and disturbing. Sleep was further disturbed by the very noisy ceiling... More

Stayed here with my grandmother and parents, and we were very happy with the choice. The posada is charming but not luxurious but you will not find anything better in Ouro Preto. The rooms have a good size, they are simple, comfortable, and clean. The staff is very nice and can help you book a guide. The location is ideal,... More

Located close to all major attractions and restaurants, but far enough away to be very quiet and peaceful. Excellent service, attentive staff. Very well restored building and rooms. Gave the experience of being transported back in time, but with all modern conveniences. Recommended.

The Solar do Rosario is a restored manor house on the edge of the historic city centre. It is in a relatively quiet location overlooking a cobblestoned square and a climb to the swimming pool terrace at the top of the grounds provides some sweeping views across Ouro Preto and beyond. The hotel is charming and characterful. We stayed in... More

A lovely hotel in a quiet location. Staff were friendly and accommodating, we experienced no problems with making ourselves understood, all the staff seemed happy to make an effort to speak English or muddle through with my poor attempts at Spanish, where there was at least a little common ground with Portuguese. The suite was large and the bed was... More
