Hotel Fasano is a dream paradise! My wife wanted to go somewhere quiet and peaceful for the…read moreholidays so we booked this place. So glad we did as this place is absolutely amazing! The hotel is nestled away about 2 hours away of São Paulo, Brazil on a 12,000 acres private property. Their terrace is to die for once you see the view of their sprawling property! The whole hotel is decorated in 1950's mid century modern decor so you feel like you've been transported back in a time machine! On premise, they have a lake pool for ages 16 and up along with a 400 foot infinity pool overlooking their golf course! Their service is impeccable. Our drinks were never empty and the cuisine is delicious with dishes inspired by Brazil and Italy! We would typically spend the day by the pool, their kids club, their horse stables or their petting zoo. Golf carts are available so you can also drive around their huge property admiring the elite's summer homes here! We came during Thanksgiving but since the Brazilians don't celebrate this holiday, the hotel was virtually empty so we felt like this was our own private residence with a staff of 50! Simply amazing! I highly recommend this place if you ever want some rest and relaxation!!!

YIKES! This place is…read moreabysmal! I went straight from Sao paulo airport so I was pretty tired. The reservation desk first couldn't find my reservation. When I should the confirmation, she went inside and came back after 20 mins and started making calls. It took them almost 2 hours for them to find the reservation and check me in! The rooms are modern and decent but the room service is even worse then reservation desk. On top of this there was jam almost every single day to get into the hotel parking lot and on 2 days we spent almost 45 mins to get the parking lot. The only good thing was breakfast bar and the servers there who were really helpful and quick. Hence 2 stars otherwise I would give -1 to this place! This was really annoying stay and I definitely would not recommend staying here!
