It was a perfect location and very clean and the family that ran the hostile was extremely kind and welcoming. Plus they had a beautiful cat that was very friendly. We would definitely return and stay with them again.

I don’t usually remember to write reviews, but this place and the staff are one to remember. From the minute I arrived Otto and the other staff were welcoming, friendly and happy to help with anything I needed. The room was completely as pictured and very clean, with offer of a free cleaning whenever I wished. The Pousada is incredibly close to the historical centre, whilst being really quiet - it’s the perfect combo! Don’t hesitate to book here if you’re in Paraty :)

Room has a fan, but it’s still very hot during summer.

Very close to the center, all walkable. Nice Pousada with only a few rooms. Friendly host.

This property is located very close to the bus terminal and Historical Center. The owner is very sweet and gave me some information in and around Paraty. The facility and room are well maintained, clean and safe. I didn’t use, but there is a small kitchen that the guests can use. There is filtered water available also. I saw the laundromat around the corner.

The spiral staircase going to the room was very tight and quite the challenge with luggage. Probably more suitable for backpackers. As well the stairs to the loft bed were very steep so you had to hold the railings. I couldn't take my suitcase up, had to leave it on the main level.

It was good value and the owner was very friendly and helpful. The place was really unique and also very clean. What really stood out for us was that the owner went above and beyond and let us park our car on the property for the night. There was a communal kitchen but we never used it. It is a really cute little town worth exploring!

The property was lovely, fantastic location, and the host was so incredibly helpful with things to do and even had our dirty clothes washed without having to ask! The best host of any pousada I have visited. Thank you so much Otto!

I loved this hotel! The location was perfect and the room had everything I needed. There was also an adorable cat walking around that was very friendly :) And, the staff were SO kind and despite the language barrier, did everything they could to make me feel comfortable. They also let me check in early!

We absolutely loved our stay with Otto and his family. Otto was very welcoming and generous with us and made us feel comfortable and cared for during our stay. He is easily one of the most genuine and caring hosts we have met. He took the time to really help us with our plans and we really enjoyed communicating with him in a mix of Portuguese and English. The location of the accommodation is perfect for exploring Paraty. It is close to the historic centre and in a nice neighbourhood that has everything you need to eat and relax well. The accommodation itself is beautiful and really well cared for. We loved our stay so much we extended it twice and had the pleasure of staying in three different rooms over two weeks. All the rooms we stayed in were really comfortable and each had beautiful features. We would really recommend staying here and would love to come back and visit Otto and his family sometime.

This place is like a beautiful little haven within Paraty. I loved walking into the gorgeous courtyard after a big day. The location is absolutely amazing, walking distance from everything, but far enough away from the night time noise. Otto was a fantastic host, very welcoming and warm. Plus the filtered water in the kitchen was amazing and saves you having to use a bunch of plastic.

Had an amazingly pretty room with a hammock and mezzanine in it and otto was really lovely and helpful and location was good.

Comfortable, spacious, clean and very close to Paraty's historic center as well as the central bus station (Rodoviaria), thus offering excellent value for money. Moreover this guest house is hosted by very kind and genuine family. Without doubt would I enjoy staying here again!

This is an excellent little Pousada. Great value for money. The people running the place are extremely nice and welcoming. The room is comfortable and we had everything we could ask for (iron, coffeemaker etc.). It is also situated ideally between the bus station and the historical centre. It’s a bargain in Paraty.

The street can be a bit noisy with motorists (our room was closest to the street) but we had ear plugs that helped with that!

Otto and his family were lovely hosts! Upon arrival, Otto welcomed us and shared tips for the area, as well as recommendations for activities to do. He was attentive at sharing instructions for anything we needed during our stay, which was smooth and peaceful. A bonus was the filtered water available to us in the shared kitchen at any time throughout our stay. Another bonus treat was getting visits from our “junior host,” their adorable house cat who was incredibly sweet, friendly, and a welcomed addition to our stay!

Loved everything about our stay. The room was clean, comfortable and cosy. The location is 10/10. The staff were amazing, so helpful and they did everything they could to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Kitchen facilities are quite basic.

Lovely place to say in Paraty! The family were so lovely and helpful during our stay. We don’t speak Portuguese and they went out of their way to help with translations. It was spotlessly clean and they let us store bags ahead of check in.

Super nice place just next to the stream/waterfall and with nice garden and installations. Kitchen very well equipped and staff (specially Maxi) extraordinarily friendly and helpful!

The host, Otto, made you feel at home and he made personal tile to explain the experinces in the city. I could come with any question. This is the real paraty experience. The room brings you back to to the old Paraty. an invitation to explore the old city, that is just around the corner.

Such nice friendly people. Amazing stay

Unfortunately the hostel wasn’t in the most safe of areas; inside the hostel felt very safe, but outside we witnessed a fight and there were some shady characters lurking nearby. Again, inside was perfectly safe

Incredibly friendly family-run hostel, with very comfortable living quarters with perfect amenities

The only window goes to the alley, so to have privacy, you have to keep it closed and turn the lights on.

Staff is very friendly and accomodating. Location is great. You can walk to the historical center and also to the bus station. Comfortable bed Hot water.
