Vila Emilia is a quaint boutique hotel. On my last stay;: - I was made to wait 40 minutes for the eggs for breakfast. - They wouldn't let me leave until they inspected my room as if I was some type of criminal (shame on them). - They have no control of shower water temperature. When everyone is taking a shower in the morning, the water can jump from literally scalding hot to freezing cold in a single minute. I have complained about this detail during each of my two stays here.
