Pousada Cicerone - Portal das Artes - Com Gerador de Energia
It was very clean and quaint. Breakfast was awesome! They were doing some construction in the pool area so it was noisy but they offered a late (very late) check out in exchange which was very nice of them. We would definitely stay again! Great Bakery within 100 steps also.

Rumo dos Ventos
It is a solid walk of about 30 minutes to the actual town. Not all of that walk is on a sidewalk.

Pousada do Tesouro
Ótima hospedagem! Em 3 minutos eu estava na rua principal de Paraty e em 10 min andando tranquilamente eu estava na ponta do cais quase dentro do barco. Café da manhã ótimo e é uma das primeiras pousadas custo benefício que vou que há uma variedade boa de café da manhã. O que me impressionou muito ...
