Location
The location of MD Luar da Montanha presents a mixed bag, but its serene beauty seems to outweigh the challenges for many visitors. Situated about 50 minutes away from Monte Verde on a rough, unpaved road, the journey to the inn can be daunting, especially for those unprepared for the abundance of potholes, mud and narrow, winding paths with no cellular signal. Many guests emphasized the misleading distance information, noting that the actual distance is closer to 18-20 km rather than the advertised 9 km with travel times ranging from 40 minutes to an hour.

Despite the challenging access, the rewards upon arrival are numerous. Guests praised the inn for its breathtaking landscapes, complete tranquility and the lushness of its natural surroundings. Nestled amidst mountains, waterfalls and dense forest, the location offers a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. With spacious, well-equipped chalets that promise privacy and comfort, the inn provides an idyllic setting for relaxation.

For those who can navigate the rough terrain, the peace and splendid views make the journey worthwhile. However, potential visitors should be aware of the difficulty of access, particularly during rainy seasons and plan accordingly. Loading routes on navigation apps in advance and expecting longer travel times are advisable for a smoother experience. The location is not ideal for frequent trips back to Monte Verde, making it perfect for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature's beauty.

Breakfast
At MD Luar da Montanha, guests are treated to a commendable breakfast experience that enjoys high praise for its variety and taste. The breakfast spread is often described as wonderful and fantastic, impressing with its fresh, homemade quality and a diverse selection of options. Guests appreciate the abundance of offerings, including fresh French bread, cakes, yogurt, cheeses, cold cuts and an array of fruits and juices. The cleanliness and attentiveness of the staff also enhance the overall dining experience.

Some reviews highlight particularly delightful elements like delicious coffee and the impeccable service of warm, homemade dishes. Words like spectacular, perfect and amazing are frequently used to describe the breakfast, indicating a highly satisfying start to the day. Despite its many strengths, a few guests note that it could benefit from additional variety, particularly in fruits and savory items. Instances of insufficient replenishment were also mentioned.

Minor criticisms aside, MD Luar da Montanha's breakfast is predominantly celebrated for its taste, variety and the care with which it is prepared and served. The beautiful view and serene mountain surroundings further contribute to the overall positive experience.

Dinner
MD Luar da Montanha presents a mixed dining experience, combining moments of culinary delight with notable gaps in service. Maria, a standout chef at their restaurant, is praised for her divine meals, making guests feel like royalty. The pizzas served at the inn frequently receive high marks for their flavor and generous portions with many considering them a must-try.

However, potential diners should be aware of some inconsistency. Instances were reported of cold, tasteless or poorly prepared dishes, such as undercooked chicken and flavorless beans. Additionally, the dining room ambiance, at times dimly lit, doesn’t always match the quality of the meals served.

Currently, the restaurant's operational constraints mean that lunch, dinner and appetizers are not always available, disappointing some guests. Moreover, hiccups such as shared soup spoons and high-priced menu items have also been noted.

Despite these drawbacks, the value lies in the inn's charming setting and fair pricing for most meals. The capability to order food directly to the chalet, the occasional surprise of excellent dishes like bean tutu and cracklings and the overall atmosphere and infrastructure can make dining here worth the visit, provided one manages expectations regarding availability and service.
