Apartment vs. Inn: 5 Advantages You Didn't Expect
— Accommodation — 8 min read
Privacy, your own kitchen and more space are just the beginning. See five practical reasons to prefer a vacation apartment on your next trip.
When choosing vacation accommodation, many travelers debate between an inn and a vacation rental apartment. Both options have their merits, but there are practical advantages to a vacation rental that inns simply can't offer.
1. Real space to live, not just sleep
The average room at an inn in Prado is between 20 and 30 m². A vacation rental apartment at Recanto de Férias is 150 m² — five times more space. That means:
- Living room with sofa for the whole family
- Separate full kitchen
- Two bedrooms with comfortable beds
- Balcony for outdoor breakfast
2. Your own kitchen: savings and freedom
At an inn, you depend on breakfast and restaurant schedules. With a holiday apartment with kitchen, you prepare whatever you want, whenever you want. Savings can reach R$2,000 over a week-long family trip.
3. Total privacy
At inns, you share common areas with dozens of guests. Noise from other people's children, loud music at the pool and breakfast queues are common. At a condominium like Recanto de Férias, with only 8 apartments, tranquility is guaranteed.
4. Flexible schedules
No rigid check-out times for using the pool, no kitchen restrictions, no silence rules at 10 PM. Your vacation apartment is your space — you set the rules.
5. Better value for longer stays
For stays of 5 days or more, the per-night cost of a short-term rental is significantly lower than an equivalent inn. And with the kitchen, savings multiply.
When does an inn make more sense?
It's fair to recognize that inns are better in some scenarios:
- Solo or couple trips for just a few nights
- When you want breakfast included without worrying
- For those who prefer constant personal attention
Conclusion
For families, long stays or travelers who value space and autonomy, the vacation rental apartment is unbeatable. Book at Recanto de Férias and see for yourself.
