Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the chicken and let it lightly brown. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for a few more minutes. Add the tomatoes, leeks, and Portuguese sausage, all finely chopped. Stir well. Add the rice (do not rinse it), the dry white wine, and season with salt to taste. Once it starts to boil, pour in the vegetable stock, cover the pot, and cook for about 20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Finish with chopped scallions, and if you’d like, serve topped with batata palha.

Perfection
Stunning architecture, delicious food for every taste — including vegetarian options — and impeccable service! A true oasis of peace within a reserve and inside the Inhotim Museum. Art pieces enhance the décor, with wood, stone, and refined Brazilian design everywhere you look — plus delightful touches at every corner. An experience I highly recommend!
Fernanda Micheloni
Amazing stay!
We came to celebrate our honeymoon and it was absolutely worth it. Right at the beginning of our stay, we were pampered with complimentary sparkling wine and a charcuterie board. We were able to relax and enjoy nature — and the view of the reservoir from the rooms is simply breathtaking.
We will definitely be back many more times.

The best nature retreat — with total comfort and flawless service
Without a doubt, the best family-friendly hotel in the region. Cleanliness, comfort, outstanding facilities, great taste, high quality — and absolutely sensational food. Everything is delicious, from breakfast to dinner. The staff is extremely well-trained, polite, and friendly. Countless activities for children of all ages, plus entertainment for adults, even at night.
Perfect cleaning and maintenance. Birds fly inside the restaurant while we’re there — a peaceful and charming touch of nature in every moment! Incredible spa and gym, amazing massages and treatments with premium L’Occitane products! I recommend it with my eyes closed and would come back a thousand times every week if I could! Everything was perfect!

Amazing place with fantastic food and wonderful service from everyone.
Simply outstanding! Everything is so well done — service is a perfect 10.
The food is the highlight here — absolutely delicious! Get ready to gain a little weight! There are activities all day long, and the atmosphere is very peaceful. I stayed in room 611 facing the lake — very clean, with a bathtub, spacious, and an extra-comfy king bed. Wi-Fi works perfectly in 100% of the property.
We escaped the chaos of the Barretos rodeo and ended up meeting friends here! I recommend it to everyone — come enjoy peaceful moments or lots of fun if you prefer!
