The love recipe of our story are all around here. From the handmade stools made by our partners, mother and daughter, to the breakfast served in the kiosk, facing the mountains. Here, everything reminds the love memory that inspired our inn's name, a tribute to our 99-year-old matriarch. Margarida, mother of our partner Rosanna Silveira, lived a part of her life in heartland cities , but now, although rather living in the capital, keeps producing the typical grandma recipes.
In the rooms, the inn combines the peaceful camp life, keeping in mind that comfort is essencial. You can be surprised with the sunrise in the mountains and go for an early walk to the waterfalls with nothing to worry about.

VALE DO CAPÃO
Located in Caeté-Açu, district of Palmeiras, Vale do Capão is an ecological sanctuary in Chapada Diamantina, 460 km from Salvador. This national ecotourism provides the visitors enjoying the beauties around and it is also located in a strategic area, close to famous touristic spots such as Vale do Pati and Cachoeira da Fumaça. The region is surrounded by the Chapada Diamantina National Park, a territory of 152,000 hectares of wildlife.
The average weather is 19°C and makes the place even more special. The cool nights sparkled in stars contrast with the day's blue sky. The spot has stunning views such as Morro do Pai Inácio, Morro do Camelo and Morrão - Monte Tabor, prehistoric rocks.
The peace and love enviroment made Vale do Capão become a destination for those connected with esoteric and nature causes. Between the 60s and 70s, young hippie people moved to the region. The feeling of “make love, not war” still attracts people from the cities who want to cool down.
Going to the village by car or simply walking the 1600 meters far from the Chalés das Margaridas is a good morning hangout. There you can find souvenir stores, a street market with organic and family farming products and an amazing and diverse local gastronomy. Don't forget to eat the vegan pizza and the jackfruit palm fried pastry, they might even surprise the non vegs.
Staying in Vale do Capão allows you to enjoy the main trails of Chapada Diamantina: Vale do Pati, Andaraí, Lençóis, Mucugê, Cachoeira da Fumaça, and many others.
