Sleep wherethe cheese is born

The quintal is not a hotel. It is three suites next to the dairy, for anyone who wants to share our day-to-day.

What staying here is like

Sleeping in the dairy's yard

The three suites sit in a building of their own, in the yard of the dairy. We receive guests the Minas Gerais way, as we would a friend at home, and you share the daily life of the farm with us. Each suite has a veranda with a table and chairs, facing the mountains.

Country breakfast is served in the dairy from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m.: bread, biscuits, cake, free-range eggs, fruit, coffee, milk from the farm and our own cheese. The menu changes with the season, and we prepare a version for guests with dietary restrictions.

  • Three suites
  • Country breakfast
  • Serra da Canastra

The bath

A garden inside the bath

In Suites 1 and 3, the bath area opens onto a winter garden behind a glass door. The floor is red clay tile and the walls are burnished cement.

There is no shower box between the basin and the shower. There is a wall with an arched doorway and no door. At night, the garden is lit.

The suites

Three places to sleep

All three suites sleep up to 3 people, with a double bed and a single bed, air conditioning, a TV, a minibar, a desk and a capsule coffee machine. Each has a veranda with a table and chairs, facing the mountains.

What changes between them is the bathroom, the veranda and the view. Suite 1 is the most spacious; Suite 2 is the most compact, with the lowest rate; from the bed in Suite 3 you see the town and the mountains.

Through the day

What happens here

  • Jersey cows at the trough during the morning feed

    Milking and the dairy

    Milking happens at 5 a.m. and 4 p.m., and cheesemaking goes on through the morning. If you want, follow it up close: the yard, the tank, the pingo, the cut, the ageing boards. There is no fixed route; just arrange it with the dairy.

  • Renato on the dairy veranda with a cut wheel of cheese

    Tasting and guided tasting

    A board with our cheeses at different ages, to taste what time does to the same milk, from young to long-aged. We tell you where each one comes from. It is paid and must be booked 3 to 5 days ahead; we send the price on WhatsApp.

  • A fresh cheese just out of the mould, shown inside the dairy

    Cheesemaking course

    We teach what we learned by doing: how to make fresh cheese and the standard Canastra, from the milk to the mould. The course takes place in the dairy, hands in the curd. Ask about the next classes on WhatsApp.
