When to choose an inn
An inn is the best option for solo travelers or couples seeking convenience on short stays. Included breakfast and personal service simplify logistics.
When to choose a vacation rental
A holiday apartment is ideal when:
- You're traveling with family and need space
- You plan to stay more than 4 nights
- You want to save by preparing meals
- You value privacy and quiet
- You have children who need routine
The cost question
For a family of 4 staying 7 nights in Prado:
- Inn: ~R$3,500 (accommodation) + ~R$3,500 (meals) = R$7,000
- Short-term rental: ~R$3,000 (accommodation) + ~R$1,500 (meals with kitchen) = R$4,500
Savings can reach 35% by choosing a vacation rental.
