Heated Pool
The pool is heated, so it works in winter as well as summer, and it is the part of the hotel families use most. There is a hot tub for adults, a garden around it, and the picnic area a few steps away. This is a comfortable hotel pool rather than a wellness complex, and that is exactly what most guests are looking for after a morning at the springs.
Warm water,quiet hours
Mornings by the pool tend to be quiet, with most guests out at the thermal baths. The middle of the day belongs to children, and the evening slows down again. The hot tub and Jacuzzi are the natural end to a cold day in the hills, and guests staying in a room with a spa bath often finish upstairs instead.
Towels come from housekeeping, the pool sits away from the road, and the 24-hour front desk is close enough to ask anything you need while you are out there.
Garden and picnic area
The garden is planted and shaded, with the picnic area set up for guests who want to eat something simple outside rather than drive back into town. Families spread out here in the late afternoon, and it stays pleasantly cool once the sun drops behind the hills.
The hotel does not operate a restaurant, so evening meals happen in town; the picnic area is where guests bring back what they buy from the local bakeries and shops.
When the weather turns
Rain arrives quickly in this part of Santa Catarina. The games room keeps the afternoon going with a pool table and ping-pong, and free WiFi reaches through the building. Between the games room, the heated pool and a spa bath in the room, a wet day rarely feels like a wasted one here.
