Description
Location and Contact
Location
• The Samambaia Hostel is nestled about 800 meters (2,600 ft) above sea level, on the Serra dos Órgãos. 5 km from "The City of Pedro", Petrópolis it's the main winter destination of people from Rio de Janeiro; it offers a combination of good gastronomy, comfortable hotels, the proximity of the Serra dos Órgãos and important architectural heritage.
• With a mild climate and mountains covered in the lush vegetation of the Atlantic Forest, Petrópolis became the Brazilian Imperial Family´s favorite summer resort, back in the 19th century. Emperor Dom Pedro I acquired a plot of land here to build a summer palace, and his son Pedro II founded Petrópolis in 1843. Petrópolis retained its glamour even after the proclamation of the Republic; inside the Palácio Quitandinha, for example, there was a large casino operating until the 1940s.
• Estrada da Samambaia, 138, 5 km from City Centre of Petrópolis, located on the Cascatinha District and Samambaia naiborhood, 10 km from Itaipava's night life.
