A few kilometers through the Serra, along the “Romantic Route” on your way to the hotel Saint Andrews, is enough to set the scene: this is a place of surprises. The architecture of the building is impressive in itself, inspired by Scotland’s Saint Andrews Castle, and each elegantly furnished room bears the name of the precious stone that lent its color to the décor. Dine by the light of Bohemian crystal chandeliers in a restaurant serving sophisticated international cuisine, after enjoying a cocktail or a glass of wine from the well-stocked cellar. The peaceful landscaped garden is the ideal spot for enjoying a balmy evening and the spectacular views of the Quilombo Valley.
