Hotel Tirol

This hotel is not far from Encarnacion, but if you take a bus here you must make sure the busdriver stops to let you off. Mine forgot and I had to take the bus back 15 km! The bus drops you off my the entrance if you ask. When I stayed it was just me and two or three other rooms occupied, and that felt a bit strange in such a big hotel. It was still very nice to be here. They have a short nice path around the forest that you can walk and are you lucky you might see some animales. I just got to see birds and butterflies, but that was cool as well. The restaurant food is just okay, but the lady that works there is really sweet. My second evening for dinner she looked sincerely happy to see me, and that was a good feeling. No one there speaks any English, but they all want to understand so that is no problem. The owners speak German, and Spanish. The have four swimmingpools, but I did not have time to test any of them. ||The only negative thing is that they have great wi-fi but it doesn't work inside the room only outside and in the restaurante.

10km of Trinidad Jesuit Reduction this older hotel is an enjoyable place to stay. Opened in 1958 and expanded in 1970. Set in a wooded hill 400mts from route 6 some 20km from Encarnación. It is quiet with a spectacular view and palm trees.

A blast from the past, a place you cannot find anywhere else. The hotel is lost in the tropical forest and looks like a forbidden palace. The place is a bit old fashion but wonderfully quiet and we just felt in love after a first bad impression. We went during the winter and were the only residents warmly welcomed by the few staff. We truly appreciated. Restaurant was not open and breakfast was simple but good. Definitely a must try. A bit far from Encarnacion but close to the Reducciones.

This hotel is one for the record books - you walk in there and feel like you stepped back in time as you discover the various passageways and walkways on the hotel grounds. This was all built with brick and is quite modern even though you feel like you stepped back in time two centuries. Multiple pools to enjoy as well.

This old luxury hotel had fallen. New owners are making an effort to restore its former glory. The main lodge offers food and lodging. We stayed in a cottage on the grounds. It was clean and comfortable. Multiple swimming pools are available.

A beautiful, historic place to stay with brickwork arches, walking paths, and swimming pools. I was delighted to see the hard work the new Paraguayan owner is putting in to the renovation. History buffs will not be disappointed. Foodies might look elsewhere.

This is a lovely property. It is about 20 km from Encarnation and only about 8kms from the UNESCO world heritage sights of Trinidad and Jesus de Tavarangue. We had a rental car, otherwise this may be a bit inconvenient if traveling by bus. There is a beautiful valley view, lovely stone paths through the forest and many pools. We ate dinner at the hotel (there are not many other options in the area), and the food was okay, not great. Highly recommend this as a lovely place to relax and use as a base to see the ruins.

Hotel Tirol is located in a quiet area between Encarnacion and the Jesuit ruins at Trinidad. The actual hotel is about 150 metres off the highway, in a patch of Atlantic forest with a stream and trails with birds and mosquitoes. There is a sign at the entrance, so even if arriving late, you will be able to find it. Take a bus in Encarnacion going towards Trinidad, and ask to be let off at the hotel. The driver will know where it is. In fact the bus dropped me right at the entrance at night (about 100 metres from an 'official' bus stop). Easy acccess to Trinidad (just board the same bus and get off at ruins, a 2-minute walk from highway). Going back to hotel is just reverse. Fortunately the food at hotel is very good, as there are few options unless you have a vehicle. Spacious area with 2 dining rooms, 4 swimming pools, and several rooms in rambling Bavarian-style buildings. Good breakfasts too, although you may be lonely in off-season.
