SOLAR DO ROSÁRIO, OURO PRETO

A CHARMING BUILDING DATING BACK TO THE 19TH CENTURY

In the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ouro Preto, stands the characterful Solar do Rosario hotel and guesthouse.

A charming building dating back to the 19th century, the hotel is perfect for those looking to explore the Baroque Portuguese architecture of the city.

After a complete renovation in 2008, the hotel now houses 41 guest rooms, each keeping the local character of the area.

There is a cosy restaurant which serves all meals, including afternoon tea. There is also an excellent wine cellar, a bar overlooking the Nossa Senhora do Rosário church, a heated pool, fitness room and a natural pool.

Guests can wander the cobbled streets of Ouro Preto, with its wealth of beautiful colonial architecture and many museums, art galleries and quaint shops. It is also possible to visit one of the nearby mines, which once made the area so rich during the gold-rush. For those keen on walking, the nearby Itacolomi State Park has a variety of trails and lots of diverse flora and fauna.

Its privileged location next to the Rosario Church and views of the S. Francisco de Paulo and Nossa Senhora do Rosario churches, makes Solar do Rosário an excellent place to stay when exploring Ouro Preto.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”

Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”

From our very first phone call, 91�� provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”

We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by 91�� – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.
