What a lovely lovely place! We felt like we found a home away here, not only because of the pousada itself but also because the hosts Yvan and Ricardo are such nice people. Eliconial is set in lush green garden where every guest/couple gets his own wooden cabin complete with kitchenette, a simple bathroom and a little hammock in fresh... More

I just returned from a two night stay. The Pousada is located a little too far from the main center of the city for walking, at least for me, but driving to downtown was easy enough and parking as well - so no complaints there. The staff was very friendly, including the owner. It is a secluded place, quiet, located... More

My mom, sister and I stayed at Eliconial in Paraty for two nights. We were made to feel incredibly welcome, and Ricardo, Yvan and Roberto did everything they could to make our trip delightful. Every recommendation they made was excellent (don't miss La Luna right nearby and Margarida in town for some great service and relaxing bossanova). The pousada is... More

There are apparently 500 Pousadas in or around Paraty, but here are some reasons to consider staying at Eliconial Paraty Pousada. Roberto, Ricardo and Yvan are delightful hosts - they are French, and offer exceptional hospitality. Yvan is a great gardener, and the flowers and plants in the garden are quite lovely. They love animals, so if you like cats,... More

I stayed for 3 nights, had food poisoning on arrival night, and the entire team could not have been nicer. I got tea, cuddle from the cats, sympathy and drugs from the team, fantastic. Had a good rest, was very relieved to have this lovely place and nice bungalow to rest and recuperate. Main terrace is lovely place to read,... More

We stayed two nights at the Pousada Eliconial end of October. Despite the weather, Ricardo, Roberto and Ivan allowed us to spend three days outstanding! Hosts who take time to advise you and to tell their stories, bungalows spacious enough where nothing is missing, a beautiful setting (exotic garden, swimming pool, jacuzzi ...), company of Caio - the parrot,, tea...

We stayed at Eliconial 2 nights on our double honey-moon Brazil trip in October 2011 and I guess we all 4 can agree on that we couldn't make better choice while staying in Paraty. Very nice, cosy pousada, with spacious wooden houses hidden amid beautiful greenery and colourful flowers (very carefully kept garden), in a quiet part of the city,... More

If you are looking for a quiet, nice and friendly place to stay in Paraty, stop looking. Elicolonial is that place. Instead of cramping the maximum number of rooms in the available space, these guys managed to create a charming setting with simple (but cozy), clean accommodations amidst a gorgeous garden. When the gates open and you enter the property,... More

Very nice, quiet Pousada. Good for couples. Good Breakfast. Helpful host. Bit of a hike to downtown, but it's a nice area of town. There's a busier hostel down the road with a decent pizzeria. Nice cat. More
