Detailed Reviews
Without mistake, I would say that this is one of the best hotels for leisure in Brazil. Located in the Centro Histórico of Paraty walking distance from restaurants, although its own (Quintal) is one of the best in the area. The service is outstanding, you can see that all employees are very well trained. But the most important at this moment is their attention and care with COVID-19 requirements: perfect sanitized rooms, tables, chairs at pool, all employees with masks and cleaning their hands.

The hotel is definitely one of the best that I stayed. Located in the historical center, perfect location to walk to the best restaurants, wonderfully designed, the room (#28) was huge and with a lot of privacy. The pool is lovely with 26 celsius with is perfect temperature for day or evening. The breakfast can be take whenever you wish, and everything is super fresh and delicious. Do not miss the chance to try "waffle's pão de queijo". The staff is incredibly efficient and nice vibe. The restaurant - Quintal das Letras - is amazing and delicious. The porchetta was amazing...Just a little bit expensive but FOR SURE you get much more from what you pay. Highly recommended!

Charming, helpful staff who organised for us a marvellous trip around the nearby islands. Delicious breakfasts. Interesting fazenda nearby belonging to the hotel, which arranged our transport there and back. Had a wonderful lunch there, with again accommodating staff who gave us various fruits to sample and prepared me some jaca to eat. Appreciated the fact that there was also good lighting in the rooms for ageing eyes to read by in the evening! Despite being centrally located the hotel was quiet. Rooms efficiently and all cleaned daily. Also a good-sized pool to laze by. Temos saudade! Would love to return one day. Highly recommend this as a place to stay in Paraty

Perfectly located in the old town of Paraty it provides a sanctuary within easy walking distance of many restaurants, shops and the historic churches.
The room was superb, with a lovely huge and comfortable bed with excellent linen.
The bathroom was spacious, with excellent quality toiletries and fabulous water pressure in the shower.
Breakfast was amazing, with a great selection of fruit, meat, cheese, fruit juices, and eggs.
We loved the swimming pool, it was perfectly clean and just the right temperature.
The service was impeccable, the staff friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble.
Definitely an absolute gem!

The hotel is perfectly located within, but on the edge of, the historic centre of Paraty. The welcome was extremely warm and efficient and all staff encountered throughout our stay were a delight to deal with. The gardens, pool / bar area and the various converted historic buildings which make up the hotel are all utterly beautiful (see the photos). Our room (4) was a good size, nicely appointed, had efficient air conditioning and a comfortable bed. Breakfast was a limited but tasty buffet. The historic centre of Paraty is easily explorable on foot from the hotel. Good concierge service - sorted a private trip out in a boat at the drop of a hat. Highly recommended.

Was there with my wife for 4 days. Very good hotel and great and helpful staff. Wonderful breakfast that you can have at anytime during the day; in busy days the service can get slow. Nice pool area with beautiful garden. On the downside, the rooms on the ground floor are too dark and the lighting project not very good. Even with 4 bedside lamps the room was still dark.

What an experience! Everything amazing, from the staff, to the room, the pillows, food and the spa is unreal! They offer everything you can think about during the breakfast and the drinks are also delicious. They also offer a walking tour and we learned a lot about Paraty’s history. We had some rain during our stay and the reading room was my favourite place. You find any kind of book here! I mega reccomend Pousada Literária !👏👏👏

Without any doubt, this is the best Pousada de Paraty. It is classy, trendy and spotless. It is an oasis within the town. The grounds are beautiful. It was great having breakfast watching colorful beautiful birds. The front desk was great. The service is what you would expect from a 5 star luxury hotel. The restaurant was good especially in a town that gets very crowded and it can be difficult to get reservations.

The place is beyond perfect, right in the old city but still very peaceful and quiet. Very large and green property, perfectly designed, great for relaxation.
