Reviews

Fuimos a Vila Rosa en temporada baja y la salida terminó siendo uno de los momentos más lindos de nuestra luna de miel. El traslado desde Itacaré fue muy cómodo: vehículo con aire acondicionado, asientos amplios y una parada breve en un mirador del camino; nada de ir apretados. Éramos solo ocho personas, así que el ambiente resultó tranquilo y cercano, sin perder tiempo esperando a grupos enormes. En la finca nos encantó caminar entre los cacaotales y probar una barra recién elaborada. Nuestro guía incluso nos mostró una mazorca abierta del día.

Cacao, calma y confort en Vila Rosa

We booked the Vila Rosa Cocoa Farm excursion for our anniversary, and it turned out to be one of the best-value outings of our Brazil trip. The price covered comfortable round-trip transport, the farm visit, and a generous tasting, with no surprise extras. Our air-conditioned minibus picked us up near our hotel in Itacaré; there were only six passengers, and the guide even had chilled water ready. At the farm, the owner explained each step from cacao pod to chocolate, then served a delicious homemade lunch. Relaxed, personal, and genuinely worthwhile—especially for older travelers who appreciate an easy, well-organized day.

A Comfortable, Chocolate-Filled Anniversary Day Out Near Itacaré

Comemoramos meu aniversário com um passeio super bem organizado: o transporte chegou exatamente às 8h15, sem aquela correria de viagem. O guia João explicou como a fermentação muda o sabor do cacau e ainda mostrou uma árvore de cupuaçu escondida no caminho. A degustação foi deliciosa, e saímos com chocolate e boas histórias juntos.

Aniversário com cacau, pontualidade impecável e histórias deliciosas na Fazenda Vila Rosa

Auf unserer Hochzeitsreise – zugleich unserer ersten internationalen Familienreise – war der Ausflug zur Kakaofarm Vila Rosa herrlich unkompliziert. Der Fahrer kam in Itacaré pünktlich um 8 Uhr, kündigte sich vorher per WhatsApp an und wartete geduldig auf unser Frühstück. Ana erklärte die Fermentation anschaulich; eine kleine Verkostung war inklusive. Für den Preis fanden wir Betreuung und Qualität ausgesprochen fair.

On a adoré cette sortie à la ferme Vila Rosa ! À la réservation, l’équipe de Best South America Tours nous a répondu le jour même sur WhatsApp et a confirmé l’horaire avec un point de rendez-vous très clair près de notre pousada. Le minibus est arrivé à 8h50, exactement comme prévu. Notre guide nous attendait déjà avec des bouteilles d’eau et a super bien expliqué la culture du cacao, de la cabosse à la dégustation. On s’est senties accompagnées sans jamais être pressées. Une matinée gourmande et passionnante !

Cacao frais et organisation parfaite
