Excellent stay, really quirky property. Breakfasts in the morning were like a full afternoon tea with unique tea cups and freshly baked goods, chefs did a great job. Our stay was made extra special by Marianetch who made the best caipirinha’s we have tried in Brazil (and we tried many) and was so welcoming, really made us feel at home. We looked forward to an evening drink with her each evening. You will really enjoy your stay in the centre of the historic centre!

Perfect location in the historical center. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the bed is very comfortable, and breakfast is excellent. The only downside was the shower, with low water pressure, which is understandable given the historic nature of the building.

A n 18th C building with great atmosphere and art of all kinds on the walls and floors. Smiling friendly staff who made us feel welcome. It’s in the heart of the old town with boulder cobbles making wheeling a suitcase challenging but the history and nearby Gold Road is worth the trek.

OK, first of all it is a very historic place including the streets outside. The staff and facilities are very good. I liked eating off the imported China. The staff is great. What I did not like is that the rooms have thin walls and you can hear your neighbors doing "everything" including farting. The streets are made of stones that are uneven and unsafe for walking and they smelled bad.

This Pousada was incredibly uniqe in terms of the decorations, room layouts and staff. Each room had a unique feature ie hammocks that couild be used outside it on a private porch with a beautiful view of the bay. The proximity to the water was a plus in the historic district as well as the short walking distances to the many restaurants and sites that Paraty has to offer. We cannot say enough about the staff, how kind and willing they all were to meet our every need. The phenomenal breakfast served is beyond description! Need more be said? Would definitely stay again!

The staff at this hotel are lovely and the breakfast is amazing. It’s spotlessly clean and very quiet. The Juliana room has a comfortable bed and lovely views and I never saw a single mosquito but there are narrow internal spiral stairs to navigate which are tricky with luggage or if you have limited mobility. The staff do help carry luggage. As a solo traveler I cannot give a high score for the location though as it is a little deserted at night and the road naturally floods during the day when the tide is high. Twice this meant I could not go far from the hotel without wading through water.

Beautifully decorated and kept inn right in Paraty's historic centre. Absolutely pristine in terms of cleanliness - I've never been in a hotel so clean. The staff of women are incredible - warm and kind and helpful. I don't speak Portuguese, except for the owner they don't much English, but they were so ready to help me and to provide recommendations. Great breakfast and again the lovely lady making breakfast wrote out the names of Brazilian foods I didn't know. The room was beautifully decorated in keeping with the feel of the historic building. The bed was very comfortable with lovely soft sheets, all the amenities you need. Loved the hammock on the balcony. There's a nice little swimming pool at the back to dip in on a hot day and a bar if you need refreshment. It's in a great location in the historic centre, easily walkable to everywhere you'd want to see in Paraty, but on quite a quiet street so it is nice and calm. Very close to the little port for boat trips and on the same street as the cultural centre and right next to the little theatre. Lots of cafes, shops and restaurants within minutes of walking. I would highly recommend staying here.

Gostaria antes de mais nada de agradecer à Angélica, Marinete, Kesia e Marcia pelo excelente atendimento. Diria que os proprietários da pousada têm colaboradoras realmente especiais. E nossa!!! Como a Angélica é excelente cozinheira...Parabéns! Achei a pousada linda. Tudo de muito bom gosto. Ambiente agradável, bom para descansar. São poucos quartos o que contribui para que seja mais silencioso. Trata-se de um casarão colonial, o que por si só já é uma experiência incrível. Fiquei no segundo andar, em quarto tipo sótão. A escada é bem estreitinha então o ideal é ir com pouco bagagem. A localização da pousada é MARAVILHOSA! Está do ladinho da Igreja de Santa Rita, pertinho dos melhores restaurantes de Paraty. Tudo perfeito! Realmente espero me hospedar novamente em outra oportunidade.

A pousada é encantadora. É também uma galeria de arte. Tudo muito caprichado e de muito bom gosto.Desde a chegada, quando fomos recebidos por Marinete, percebemos a alta qualidade do atendimento. Marinete é ótima!!!! Gentil, atenciosa e faz um sequilho divino. O café da manhã é excelente. Louças lindas, atendimento impecável. Pães, bolo, geleia, frutas, iogurte e muitos outros itens. Tudo perfeito. Angélica e Rafaela são otimas e a tapioca, deliciosa. Fomos brindados com uma conversa com Maria Cruz, a proprietária: ecologia, a beleza de Paraty... uma delícia.
