culture, nature and health
Overview
Jones and Edna have prepared a wonderful place for you. In the mansion where we live, there is a bedroom (suite) that we would like to host either a couple or an individual. Built in the middle of exotic and exuberant nature, it has a fishing well and a guitar-shaped pool treated with ozone without harmful chemicals. The small space is located in the interior of Minas Gerais in the city of Caetanópolis, surrounded by interesting cities, such as Cordisburgo (20 km), home of the great writer Guimarães Rosa and which has one of the largest caves in Latin America. The Gruta do Maquiné, a natural and historical attraction discovered in 1825, is considered the birthplace of paleontology in Brazil. The cave has seven rooms with impressive formations sculpted by the action of water over millennia. It is an ideal destination for those seeking adventure and natural beauty. We also have the city of Sete Lagoas with its beautiful lakes. Also visit the capital of Minas Gerais, which is only 110 km away.But what will be truly unforgettable are the pleasant company, the healthy and tasty local food and a return to the simplicity of life. Jones is an educator, 65 years old, has a Master's degree in psychoanalysis and is a theologian, self-taught and always up to date with the news around the world. Edna has been a Human Resources manager and psychoanalyst for over 20 years and is a nutritionist in training. They love meeting new people and exchanging knowledge.
House Rules
1. Respect for Routine and Schedules The couple usually goes to bed early, around 9 pm. We ask that you avoid loud noises after this time, including music, television or loud conversations. If you need to leave or arrive after this time, please let us know in advance and be discreet when you return. 2. Healthy Eating The meals are prepared with healthy ingredients, many of which are harvested from the neighborhood's own garden. If you have any dietary restrictions or specific preferences, please let us know in advance so that we can accommodate you. Avoid bringing processed foods or alcoholic beverages to the house for consumption. 3. Participation in the Site's Activities You are invited to participate in daily activities or prepare meals. Your help is always welcome, but please respect the hosts' limits and guidelines. 4. Use of Common Spaces Always keep the spaces you use clean and organized. Avoid leaving personal items scattered around common areas. Use of the kitchen should be agreed upon in advance, respecting the house's schedules and habits. 5. Communication and Language The host speaks English and is available to facilitate communication. The hostess only speaks Portuguese, but is open to interactions and cultural exchanges. Use translation apps or gestures to facilitate communication with her. Patience and mutual effort are essential for a good coexistence. 6. Privacy and Respect Respect the hosts' private spaces, such as bedrooms and personal areas. Avoid inviting outsiders to the house without prior authorization. If you need something, ask before using or borrowing it. 7.
