On paved roads 130 km from the city of Rio de Janeiro, in the midst of the Atlantic forest of the Serra do Mar mountains, the Rosa dos Ventos perpetuates the prerequisites of the most traditional hotellerie, seeking to transmit a bit of European culture, cordiality and hospitality. The style pursued, since opening in 1986, has been enriched by the discreet work of an attentive team with an eye for detail, that has established a unique level of service.

Situated at an altitude of 1.250 meters (approximately 3,800 ft.), its mild climate offers temperatures on average between 7 and 10 degrees below those of Rio de Janeiro, allowing guests the pleasure of dressing comfortably and elegantly on all occasions. Using farm produce, the hotel preserves the fundamental features of classical cuisine, blending originality and homely simplicity from various parts of the world.
