Casarão da Vila - Smart Hospedaria (Vila Germânica)

About this stay

Book Casarão da Vila - Smart Hospedaria (Vila Germânica) for what it actually is, a hotel rather than anything grander, set in Blumenau's German-settled valley along the Itajaí-Açu river. The city itself rewards a short stay: Blumenau grew around German immigrant settlement in the nineteenth century, and the half-timbered enxaimel architecture around Vila Germânica still marks the streets closest to downtown. The rooms stay unfussy, air-conditioned and quiet, which is the point at this price rather than a shortfall. Getting around is straightforward from here, with the historic centre and the river within easy range, and the format suits travellers who know exactly what a hotel does and doesn't include. Outside festival weekends, when the city's Oktoberfest crowds fill the beer halls, the neighbourhood stays quiet enough for an early night.
