Set in an 18th-century house, Pousada do Ó enjoys a privileged location two blocks below the church in the heart of Tiradentes. The original pousada, featuring seven snug rooms around a small garden, is supplemented by four larger rooms in the building above. Rooms 8 and 11 are the best of the bunch.
