Pousada Serra Da Bocaina Paraty
Pousada L'essence
"Linda pousada. Um pouco distante do centro de Paraty."

Pouso Paraty
"Suíte pequena. Péssima localização. Mal sinalizada, tem uma pequena placa na frente onde um carro estacionado na porta não permitia visualizar nem a placa e nem o número da casa. Rua pequena e estreita praticamente não tem lugar para estacionar. Café da manhã bem simples e limitado."

Pousada Apple House Paraty
"The room we got was not as expected. Very dark and noisy from excessive air conditioner units outside kitchenette window. They were very stingy with towels—one bath towel for each person . No hand towels or wash cloths. The best thing was the restaurant kitchen. Very good food here! Great breakfast ..."

Pousada Aconchego
Pousada do Tesouro
"Awful. Don’t stay there. Everything was wrong from the payment aspects, the mattress and bedding, the poor breakfast, the run down property overall. Avoid even if you find the pricing is good."
