As a proper French person, let's say I am usually quite critical (you know, our famous "nothing is perfect" mindset), yet honest. So when I say this pousada was one of the most marvelous places I have ever been, you bet you can believe me! My fiancé and I (both French) wanted a last poetic night in Minas Gerais to close off our road trip in the best way. The Pousada Canto da Lua just felt right, and there we went, for a night in the Cedar Lodge. Arriving there, we were welcomed by Thales that explained his family's story and how the pousada came to be. Everything is made by them, the lodges are highly sustainable and decorated tastefully to say the least! Old wood, repurposed windows, DIY signs... you name it. We were delighted and already had our eyes sparkling! Being the second highest pousada, we were able to sit and watch the sun set on a special deck. My words certainly won't do it justice, but I have to say sitting there, with the various nature sounds, while seeing the moutains light up with colours, was breathtaking. We stayed there part of the night, just looking at the stars, and being amazed at the night moon. The night was very relaxing and we couldn't wait to wake up to enjoy the morning in such a peaceful place. Thales brought us a magnificent breakfast, with fresh coffee and juice, fruits, local specialties, and homemade delicacies. We just loved enjoying it outside with the first rays of sunshine. I also have to highlight the kindness of Thales and Ana Paula, that where real hosts walking us through their story, creating a real connexion with us, and also being of a great advice. We were heartbroken to leave so soon, and our only regret was to not have stayed more. To conclude, the Pousada Canto da Lua is a true hidden gem, and we feel very lucky to have been there to experience a stay in such a wonderful place.
