Welcome to Contos de Minas 
The Pousada Contos de Minas’ goal is to welcome guests visiting Mariana with traditional hospitality, personalized, customer-focused service, and comfortable city accommodations. The convenient central location on the edge of the historic city center is ideal as a base for both business and leisure tourists.
A bit of history is important to help explain the Pousada Contos de Minas’ mission and philosophy. In 1938, the grandparents of the current hosts opened a Rancho de Tropas on this very spot, when it was still rural Mariana. It was a stopping point, a provisioning center, an inn, a watering hole, a meeting place, and a center of communications for the tropeiros with their pack horses and mule-trains bringing goods, supplies, and news to and from Mariana. Continuing the long-standing tradition, the Camêllo family opened the Contos de Minas in 2003 with the goal of offering the very same warm welcome, hospitality, good night’s sleep, and hearty food to travelers in the region.
Although the façade and entrance to the Pousada Contos de Minas are located on a city center in Mariana city street that can be busy during business hours, the hotel building extends back from the street with the majority of guestrooms and common spaces well-insulated from the hustle and bustle and actually very quiet and peaceful. The reception area, guest living room, computer room, and breakfast room/restaurant with orchidarium windows occupy the ground floor. Social spaces are simply decorated with comfortable furniture, accents of local handcrafts, sisal rugs, and polished granite floors. Guest rooms are located upstairs on two floors along cool, wide corridors with occasional sitting areas.
