Hotel Bühler | Visconde de Mauá

The Hotel is one of the oldest of the region. It is well located and the rooms are ok. It offers a breakfast for the guests that is good. For the kids there is a small playground, pools and a heated pool. It is important to notice that the region is focused in the tourism of adventure and the hotel facilities reflect that.

I’ve stayed in Hotel Buhler for four days and it was a thoroughly positive experience in the oldest hotel of the region. ||The area of the hotel is quite big and has lots of facilities. The heated indoor swimming pool was quite popular with the kids. ||I’ve stayed in chalet 11 and would stay over there again. The bathroom was recently refurbished and the rest of the chalet was in a quite good condition. ||The food was good (breakfast and lunch), the staff was friendly and the location is excellent, near the main restaurants and stores in Maringá. You can also bring your dog.

The location is perfect, close to waterfalls and gastronomic attractions. Also, rooms have fireplaces and a heating system that works well enough. Additionally, the structure is excellent although it could be better maintained. The breakfast is served only after 8 am, and due to restrictions, it can't be self-service yet. I had booked the whole holiday from Friday 12 to Monday 15th, and once I couldn't get there on Friday they didn't charge me the day I didn't use. That was quite fair from them, which shows their desire to have clients always back. One point they should improve is the wifi connection that runs well at reception, but badly in rooms, and I couldn't communicate well since the mobile service there is out of range.

The place is really amazing, wonderful gardens, birds all around. The food is simple, but excellent. Staff is friendly. It is walking distance from the best restaurants and shops. |Some negative points: room was too dark for reading and it was difficult to find the right shower temperature by mixing hot and cold water.

This is not a place that many non-Brazilians visit. In fact, I wouldn't have gone there had it not been that we were traveling with some Brazilian friends. This gem of a pousada is high in the Mantiqueria mountain range in the tiny town of Visconde de Maua. It has been a popular place to escape the summer heat since it's inception in 1939. The ride up there is spectacular and eventually paved roads turn to dirt roads. The hotel has beautiful grounds that are meticulously maintained with beautiful gardens and tropical flowers. The chalets are incredibly charming. Ours featured a bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a fireplace, a living room with 2 day beds, a huge bathroom with a nice hot shower and a "garden" room with a glass ceiling and a hot tub. One thing I didn't like so much, was that you are instructed to not throw any, I mean any, paper into the toilet due to inadequate plumbing. That takes some getting used to. The room rate included a huge breakfast and an equally huge lunch. both were delicious. Be aware that Brazilians tend to eat late. Breakfast ran from about 9 to noon, Lunch didn't start until 2:00 PM and ran until about 4:00. The hotel had a very large outdoor pool and another indoor pool. They had tennis courts and a "movie Theater" for kids to watch videos in. There are many cozy public spaces including a wonderful little pub with couches, over stuffed chairs and a fireplace. There is a really cute little village within walking distance of the pousada with lots of gift shops and some very good restaurants. Most of the senior staff spoke some English and some were quite fluent. Although this is bit out of the way, I'd highly recommend it, especially if you are visiting Brazil from another country and want a very Brazilian (non-touristy) experience.

We spent a couple of days in Hotel Buhler in Maringá (state of Minas Gerais side of the city) back in September this year. The hotel is well located close to the Main Street in Maringá where the best restaurants are. It is also conveniently located with respect to local attractions, such as the waterfalls. Another positive point is the environmental management program put in place at the hotel. Quite impressive!

We stayed at the Buhler for a week end, with our whippet dog. The hotel is in Maringá, in a big property. We where proposed chalet number 12. Chalets are very nice. Cozy, with a comfortable bed facing the fireplace, a small living room and a nice bathroom. The hotel offers comfort and privacy, we kind of felt "at home" in our chalet. Breakfst is good, the hotel restorant also. We wwalked many trail to the waterfalls nearby, and had a wonderful week end. Big outdoor swimming pool, sauna. Shows a little age but still very much enjoyable.

Amazing place! Everything you will need! Nature, near the village’s center and an excelent staff, very friendly! The chalet was very clean and well decorate. You can go with your pet. Breakfast delicious.
