Pousada Pinhais do Martinelli  

In Penedo, Itatiaia—steps from Vale do Paraíba and a two-minute drive to Casa do Chocolate. The pousada sits about 6 km from Itatiaia city center and roughly 1.4 mi (2.2–2.3 km) from Pequena Finlândia and Shopping Vale dos Duendes.

Small, 12-room pousada with air-conditioned rooms that vary by category — cozy, not cookie-cutter. Rooms include minibars, flat-screen TVs, desks and safes; bathrooms have showers and hair dryers, and housekeeping is provided daily.

Outdoor pool and a second outdoor pool area invite easy relaxation, while a steam bath and on-site massages add a wellness touch. There’s a picnic and barbecue area, tour/ticket assistance, laundry and a 24-hour front desk.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property and desks in rooms support light work needs. Free self-parking is available onsite.

An on-site coffee shop/café keeps things simple and casual. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 8 AM to 10 AM, and limited room service is offered.
