Hotel Giardino Di Pietra

Stretched along Avenida Borges de Medeiros in Gramado's pine-shaded highland corridor, Hotel Giardino Di Pietra pairs stone-and-timber architecture with hardwood floors and electric blankets suited to the Serra Gaúcha's cool winters.

Rooms come soundproofed against the avenue traffic and include a minibar, coffee machine, and spa robes with slippers — touches more common at four-star properties. The on-site spa lounge offers massage and wellness packages without requiring guests to leave the building on rainy evenings.

Gramado's chocolate shops, Natal Luz festival route, and the Lago Negro park entrance all fall within a short walk of the address. Bicycle rental is available at the property for the uphill streets that defeat most pedestrians by midday.
