Taua Resort Caete

The resort and its setting

Taua Resort Caete is an independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, located in Caete, a municipality in Minas Gerais state. Minas Gerais is landlocked, mountainous and historically tied to Brazil's 18th-century gold mining boom, and the resort's position puts owners within driving distance of several of the region's best-known colonial towns. Weeks here suit owners who want a fixed base in inland Brazil rather than a coastal resort, with the option to trade through RCI when they fancy a change of scenery.

The area and things to do

Caete sits in a part of Minas Gerais shaped by gold mining history, baroque churches and rolling mountain terrain. From the resort, Ouro Preto — a UNESCO World Heritage city famed for its baroque architecture and colonial-era museums — is around 45 km away, while the smaller colonial town of Sabara, with its well-preserved churches and streets, is roughly 35 km away. The Minas Gerais mountain region immediately around Caete (about 10 km out) offers hiking, natural springs and viewpoints, and Belo Horizonte, the state capital, is some 50 km away if visitors want museums, restaurants and a bigger city for a day. None of this is beach holiday territory — it's a trip for travellers interested in colonial history, mountain air and regional Brazilian culture.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Taua Resort Caete and want to sell or rent it out, you can list it directly on BidMyTimeshare.com as a private owner-to-owner resale or rental — you set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. We charge a one-time listing fee and take 0% commission on the sale or rental itself, so you keep what you negotiate.

Because Taua Resort Caete is run as an independent resort rather than through a major timeshare brand with published resale terms, any transfer of ownership will go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should check directly with the resort or its management for the current transfer fee, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and the current annual maintenance fee — these details aren't published by RCI and can vary by contract, so they need confirming case by case. Note that a resale buyer takes on the week itself and, where applicable, RCI exchange eligibility tied to that week; any points, credits or benefits the original owner may have accumulated separately typically do not transfer.

What renters typically look for

Renters interested in a week at Taua Resort Caete are usually planning a trip built around Minas Gerais' colonial towns, mountain scenery, or regional cuisine and crafts — so clear dates, the size and layout of the unit, and whether the week is fixed or floating all matter to them. Being upfront about what is and isn't included (and about any RCI exchange restrictions on rented weeks) helps set realistic expectations before booking.

Practical notes for owners and buyers

Portuguese is the main language spoken in and around Caete, and a hire car is genuinely useful for reaching Ouro Preto, Sabara and the surrounding mountains at your own pace. Winters (June–August) can be cool in this mountain region, so owners renting out their week should mention that layers are worth packing. Demand locally tends to rise around Brazilian public holidays and school vacation periods, which is worth factoring into any rental pricing.
