Established in France more than 50 years ago, Relais & Châteaux has become a renowned reference of excellence in the hotel and restaurant world. The Association's mission is to spread its unique art de vivre across the globe by selecting outstanding properties with a truly unique character.
A few kilometres through the magnificent landscape of the Serra Gaucha on your way to the hotel is enough to set the scene: this is a place of surprises. The architecture of the building is impressive in itself. It draws its inspiration from the Scottish castle of Saint Andrews, and each elegantly furnished room bears the name of the semi-precious stone which prompted its décor. You can dine by the light of Bohemian crystal chandeliers in a restaurant serving sophisticated international cuisine, after enjoying a cocktail or some wine from their well-stocked cellar. The landscaped garden, home to migrating birds, is a haven of tranquillity where you can enjoy a balmy evening and the spectacular views of the Quilombo Valley.
