Ouro Preto is an amazing and very friendly town, steeped in history that has links to the UK. It is easy to walk around (steep hills), with churches, museums, galleries, tourist mines, and good restaurants. It helps if you speak some Portuguese. This hotel is located ideally for exploring the town on foot. The hotel is simple, very friendly, quiet, clean and comfortable. Breakfast is good, with amazing views of the rooftops and hills beyond - good for birdwatchers. Excellent transfer service from Belo Horizonte Confins airport with Esse Trem Turismo (book via www.ouropretomg.com).
