Pousada Pé no Mato

The pousada is absolutely beautiful, everything is so well taken care of,whether it's the rooms or the absolutely lovely gardens. The workers are very helpful and friendly and one always feels most welcome.|The location is right beside the little town and because of the garden, very quiet.|This is a must stay!!

I had a wonderful experience with a staff member, Javier from Argentina. I arrived very late and he stayed past his finishing time to ensure I was checked in and comfortable. I observed that he offered the same high level of service to another guest too. Great example of generous hospitality. Thanks Javier!

Extremely rude owner, stay away from this pousada and coworking. Other tourists warned me about the owner being "rude and aggressive" BEFORE I even visited, so it's already well-known. The lady is indeed aggressive, saying things like "you speak English? very badly, right?" and "look at me when you talk to me." The hostile atmosphere made my visit unpleasant. Improvements needed: 1. Owner should treat guests with basic respect 2. Stop making rude comments about guests' and give orders. I hope the owner realizes that this behavior is unacceptable and driving away customers. Until significant changes are made, I cannot recommend this hostel to anyone and will share this feedback with everyone I met.

Fantastic hotel, the staff are amazingly helpful and friendly and the breakfast is incredible. Highly recommended and wish I could have stayed longer! ||||Book your tours with the Silvia the owner, she has the best intentions and wants people to experience and enjoy the beauty of Chapada, she got us the best deal in town and one of the top guides! I can't thank her enough for being so kind.

We booked last minute at Pe no Mato after a disappointing Airbnb stay. I can highly recommend it, the staff are helpful, professional and can assist with booking your guided hike. Breakfast was also fantastic as was the colorful garden where the rooms are situated. Rooms are far enough from the road to avoid noise but still centrally located for a 2 min walk to the restaurants in Vale do Capão.

A beautiful Pousada with cozy rooms and a great team! We felt welcome from the start and were sad to have to leave after a short stay of only three nights! ||The team: The owner Silvia and her team were always super helpful. All team members speak good English. When I inquired beforehand about possible hiking trails, how to get to Vale do Capao or also minor details eg. if the restaurants accepted credit cards or if we should bring more cash, Silvia was always quick to answers and provided really valuable insights. In the morning at breakfast Silvia was always around to suggest trails or organize English speaking guides (thanks also again to our guide Maria for the great day).||Rooms: We had the balcony room with a view of the mountains and garden. As already commented in other reviews, the rooms are much nicer than the pictures suggest! Our room was more large enough for two, with a clean bathroom and fresh linens and towels provided. ||Breakfast: Breakfast was fantastic. Coffee, warm milk, home made yoghurt and granola, fresh fruit and pressed juices, scrambled eggs, home backed cake, etc... All you need to get ready for a day of hiking. They also provide good lunch packages. ||A Special thanks: We had scheduled for a late arrival, taking the bus from Salvador to Palmeiras to arrive at 20:00/21:00. As things go, the bus broke down and we were 2-3 hours delayed. Fearing that no transfer from Palmeiras to Vale do Capao would be available, Silivia was super quick to organize a driver to pick us up at the Palmeiras bus stop (at 23:30!). And as the reception closes at 22:00 she also left a note and the key for our room so we could finally rest after the long journey. ||Late Departure: When on our last day we had a late departure, they offered us to stay in the room until 20:00 at the additional price of half a night (only possible because the room was not taken for the next night). Like this we could refresh after a final hike and did not have to stress about packing in the morning. ||Summary: If it's not obvious from the above, we can only recommend to stay here and would definitely return!

A very comfortable Pousada/Albergue with an incredible healthy breakfast to prepare you for your hikes. The staff are such wonderful and kind people that help you with questions about the town/hikes or just to chat. I highly recommend this place! No doubt I will stay here again when I return. Thanks for everything Pe No Mato!!

Great place to stay in the magical Vale do Capao. Lovely rooms, much nicer actually then in the photos, they have solar system for heating water so the shower is very good, awsome breakfast, great helpful staff, they speak good English. It is possible to arrange tours through them, we were very pleased with our guide. We would love to stay there again.
