Myself and my wife visited the the place and we were so pleased with the owners, their care for the place (and region) and for this piece of aviation and literature history that seems to be fading each day. We had so great discussions about the writer, aspects of our local history and so much more that time just flew pleasantly and made us want to come back again. It’s really worth it to visit and discover that part of our history and, especially, to share time with such wonderful hosts.

Ipiranga House

Reviewed By juliegW3662VK - Orlando, United States

We love the visit of this house. The guide belongs to the family that lived here and told us very interesting comments about the house and its history. The furniture is well conserved and beautiful (exotic wood). We wish the city would contribute more to the conservation of the place.
