Casa Oniri is very well located in a restored white house with minimalist decor. The rooms are spacious and the bed is comfortable. Bathroom is OK. Staff was courteous.
A few negatives:
-Rooms have no closet, even though there is enough space. There are 2 tiny open shelves, and a hanging rod 2.5 meters high which I couldn’t reach even with a fully outstretched arm. Maybe not an issue for a weekender, but the lack of a closet was annoying for me since I stayed 4 nights
-The bathroom is OK, but hot water supply is erratic. There was a lighted magnifying mirror that didn’t work and a hook to hang the towel which came off the wall and fell. There are public bathrooms next to the dining room with non-working air hand dryers and no towel paper.
-Two nights they left a pitcher in the room with nice flavored iced water; one night they left a bottle of water and one night they left nothing (tap water in Barichara is not safe to drink)
-Breakfast was mediocre: fruit, orange juice, eggs any style, a hot beverage, and a local staple called arepa, a sort of corn bread not very tasty, on which you spread butter and cheese (if it’s supplied-not the case). Also, the butter was frozen so it was impossible to spread it on the arepa. Oddly, they brought two fruit jams (which never go on arepa). Instead of bringing everything at the same time, they brought one item at a time at intervals of 5-10 minutes, even between the coffee and the milk. In brief, I was disappointed with Casa Oniri
