Minha experiência na Pousada Ferradura Boutique foi maravilhosa! Um ambiente aconchegante, agradável e perfeito para descansar e aproveitar Búzios. Mas o grande diferencial, sem dúvidas, foi a hospitalidade da equipe, especialmente do Rafael e da Evelin, que foram extremamente atenciosos, simpáticos e prestativos durante toda a estadia. Daquelas pessoas que nos recebem tão bem que parecem amigos de longa data! São esses detalhes que tornam uma viagem ainda mais especial. Saio com ótimas lembranças e muita vontade de voltar!
