The staff at this hotel were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was lovely on the terrace near the pool. The location was just outside the old town and very convenient as well as quiet. We stayed over Christmas and they went the extra mile to make the day special with gifts and snacks placed in the room. Overall this was a lovely small property that I would recommend.

This is a small, well-maintained hotel with a warm, homey atmosphere. It’s conveniently located near the historic district and shopping areas. The staff are incredibly friendly and eager to help. Rooms are spacious, spotless, and very comfortable—an ideal place to relax after a day of exploring.

Very charming boutique hotel with excellent breakfast.
Front desk employees speak excellent English and were very helpful and accommodating.
Location can't be better, right next to the old town but quiet.
Very clean rooms and facilities. Afternoon tea time and cake.

I rarely write hotel reviews, but this place truly deserves one. It’s honestly one of the few hotels I have ever appreciated this much.
First of all, the cleanliness is absolutely impeccable. Everything is perfectly maintained and spotless. The style and overall atmosphere are what make the place even more special: the vibe is incredibly warm, welcoming, and almost feels like being at home.
The staff is wonderful — always kind, attentive, and ready to help with anything. They speak excellent English, and we were even lucky enough to find staff members who spoke Italian, so communication was effortless.
I mentioned that I have a gluten intolerance, and they immediately made sure I had great options both at breakfast and during their afternoon tea time. The gluten-free cakes were incredible: soft, creamy, perfectly balanced — I would have never guessed they were gluten-free. They also had tapioca and pão de queijo, which were delicious.
The breakfast buffet is definitely on a much higher level compared to many others we tried in Brazil. Everything feels artisanal, fresh, and very high quality.
Overall, a truly special place that makes you feel cared for and welcomed from the moment you arrive. I would absolutely come back.

Just book it! My friends and I visited in May, and we still talk about this hotel 4 months later. I have put off writing this review for months because I don’t quite have the words to describe how lovely this place is. The location is ideal - just a short walk away from all main attractions. The staff is outstanding - warm and friendly. The rooms had a nice, personal note upon arrival and are stocked with great products. The main deck is beautiful and relaxing, with a beautiful view of greenery and, if you’re lucky, a visit from some small animals.
While all amazing, the food is a stand out - the best breakfast experience with tea time in the afternoon with freshly baked cakes. We looked forward to breakfast and tea time every day of our stay. I still think about the pao de quiejo. Highly recommend and will definitely make a stop here again.

Lovely garden and outdoor spaces. Although our arrival, after 8pm, was complicated as the reception closes after 8, overall very good stay. Excellent breakfast. The tea and cake in the afternoon is a really nice touch. Only point worth noting is that a number of rooms give onto internal corridors and have limited natural light. Also, facilities in the room were a little basic (no chair, only one lamp for two bed side tables, and no hook to hang towels in the bathroom).

I’ll start by saying i had a private shared transfer booked to Paraty that never picked me up or answered so i ended up taking the regular bus which was super convenient, inexpensive and comfy (and most likely a much better experience than what i initially had booked). I had booked the transfer super early so that i can have a full day in Paraty but god had other plans for me. I must say if i hadn’t had the pre booked reservation at this property i would have probably canceled my trip to Paraty but luckily everything worked out.
I arrived at the property by the evening and was greeted with a warm welcome by Renata, such a lovely person(just like everyone on this property). The space is beautiful and so peaceful, made me disconnect and really take time to myself. I had an economy double room which was lovely, cozy and sooo comfy. The breakfast and snacks for coffee/tea time was amazing, everything was soo delicious. Renata and Camille both helped me book excursions and answered any questions i had throughout my stay. They have a space to hold your luggage after checkout so that you can go about your day on the town, they also have a bathroom where you can freshen up when you are ready to leave. I initially booked for two nights and ended up extending one more night. I hope to one day revisit this place, everyone is just soo nice 🥹❤️
