It is VERY important to know that this inn is on just the Northbound portion of BR-40 Route from Rio--if going South from Petropolis [which was how we were headed] you are far away on other side of valley & must go 15K out of your way all the way down, do a u-turn at toll gate [or pay toll twice] and back up the mountain]. It is also not at all well marked on the road [look for Parque da Serra then follow signs for Chale about 700 M on a very rough unpaved road] & if you miss it, as we did, you must drive 20 K up, down & back up the mountain just to get back to find it. Also the 600M drive off the main road is very rough and mostly unpaved. At night this place was EXTREMELY hard to find, esp. for nonspeakers of Portuguese. The condition of the room was not the best, wifi did not work, & nothing near the hotel. But rest of the hotel seemed nice, the view is excellent, & we really appreciated the early breakfast since we had to catch a flight.
