- Check-in window ends at 21:00 — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 21:00, which could be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The pousada has a strict no-pets policy, which may be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their animals.

9.1Verified guest“The team were warm and went out of their way to help, and the accommodation matched the photos perfectly. The garden was full of wildlife, with monkeys and birds around, and breakfast plus the afternoon tea were lovely.”
9.1Verified guest“I had a tricky arrival, but the owner was incredibly kind and helpful. The place felt like a little paradise, and I'd tell anyone visiting Paraty to stay at least two nights here for the relaxation.”
9.1Verified guest“The hosts were delightful and full of useful tips, and breakfast was generous. The outdoor lounge and dining area were inviting, and the pool, hot tub, and steam room were spotless. Secure parking and 24-hour access were reassuring, and the gardens were beautiful, with the cabins hidden among the plants. The rooms were rustic but comfortable, with a kitchenette. My wife and I thought it was one of the most pleasant places we've stayed.”
9.1Verified guest“Great value for money, with reasonable prices and thoughtful details. The location is superb, right across from a lovely beach with plenty of bars and restaurants, and close to the centre by car or bike. The gardens are exotic and peaceful, and the rooms are clean and comfortable, each with a private veranda. Breakfast was delicious, especially the French crepes.”
9.1Verified guest“The room was very comfortable, the pool was lovely, and we felt truly welcome. Breakfast was great, and the hosts were very accommodating.”
9.1Verified guest“A little gem in Paraty's suburb of Jabaquara. The pousada has six rooms across three cosy wooden bungalows set in lush greenery. The mile-long beach is half a block away, with a dozen bars and small restaurants. The neighbourhood is relaxed and safe, and you can walk to the historic old town in about 30 minutes or catch the bus that runs roughly every 90 minutes. The staff speak French, Spanish, and English, and are happy to help plan tours—a boat trip is a must.”
