Hotel Fazenda São João
Hotel Fazenda São João is a large countryside hotel built on the grounds of a former cattle farm with forests and a lake throughout its land. The property spans over 130000 square meters and features guest rooms, restaurants, recreational facilities such as pools and tennis courts, playgrounds, and quiet walking paths surrounded by natural vegetation.
The land was originally a cattle-raising farm and was converted into a hotel in 1977 to allow visitors to enjoy the countryside without farming work. Since that conversion, the hotel has earned a solid reputation as a peaceful retreat while maintaining its rustic character.
The property sits on a former cattle farm and preserves rural traditions through its activities and daily operations. Guests can experience horseback riding, fishing, and themed meals prepared with local ingredients that reflect the region's food culture.
The hotel is located about 180 kilometers from São Paulo and is easily reached by car with plenty of parking on-site. Guests find comfortable rooms with TV, refrigerator, and air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, restaurants, an outdoor pool, tennis courts, and a small fitness area for relaxation.
The hotel features a converted train station by the lake that now serves as a coffee shop and ice cream parlor, blending the historical character of the place with modern convenience. This surprising mix of rustic past and present use makes the location particularly memorable for visitors.
