Tiradentes weekend in Trancoso: two pousada deals

Got an email this morning with some interesting deals for Tiradentes weekend in Trancoso, Bahia:

At Pousada Vila Rio (pictured above):
Suite, 1220 reais for 4 nights
Suite + transfers from airport, 1520 reais for 4 nights
That means they're charging 300 reais for the transfers, which is a bit steep. Brazilians can negotiate a better rate with taxi drivers, but foreigners should take the included transfers and save themselves a big headache...

At Hotel da Praça:
Standard room, 1220 reais for 4 nights
Standard room + transfers, 1520 reais for 4 nights
Same as above: foreigners, take the package WITH transfers




The Pousada Vila Rio is a better deal: rooms at Hotel da Praça are very small and the pousada has no pool. All rates quoted above include breakfast.

To book: (55-73) 3668-1456 or reservas@hoteldapraca.com.br
