Pousada Morada Das Nuvens  

Tucked into the Serra da Mantiqueira mountains in Monte Verde, minutes from the town center and about 0.6 miles from the tourist hub. Perched at roughly 5,577 ft with mountain views and easy access to trails up to Pico do Selado, this family-friendly, pet-friendly pousada puts you steps from nature.

Rooms are luxuriously decorated with cozy fireplaces, LCD cable TVs and private balconies with panoramic mountain views. Some suites include in-room jacuzzis; rooms come with a mini-bar and vary by category. The property has an elevator for accessibility and staff who speak English.

Enjoy a pool plus an indoor swimming pool, a sauna and an on-site massage room. There’s a sun terrace, laundry service and safe-deposit boxes. Pet-friendly rooms and private parking make stays easy — wake up to crisp, mountain-breeze mornings on your balcony.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property and private parking is offered for guests.

Taste local cuisine in the on-site restaurant and start mornings with an extensive breakfast buffet featuring fruits, juices and homemade breads and cakes. Room service is available for relaxed in-room dining.
