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!

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.

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

There was no lamp in the room, just a ceiling light which was very clinical.

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.

The pousada is beautiful and perfectly located, on a quiet street very close to the historic center. You can feel how much care the family that runs it puts into the place. Our room was lovingly decorated, spacious enough and felt very airy yet cozy. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and new. The owner is very accommodating and went out of his way to let us know where to go and what to do. We felt like we were staying with a friend and were sad to leave.

The bathroom was very small, however not a massive issue. Was only a fan in the room (no AC) which could be an issue in the warmer months.

The location was very good in order to get to the historic centre. Also nearby a supermarket which comes in handy as each room comes with a share kitchen area for breakfast. Otto the owner is very accommodating and although doesn’t speak much English, does he very best to make sure you know where to go and what to do. The property is very secure and comes with a gate.

Overall everything was nice. but we couldn't keep food in the bedroom because of ants. Also, it would be nice to have a few more cooking utensils in the kitchen.

This pousada is very well located, away from tourist roads in a quiet road. Our stay felt very homely. Both Sandra and Otto are very lovely and made sure we were very comfortable. there is also a kitchen we can use for meals.

Not a single thing

Everything! The room is super clean, 3 minutes walk from the center. The decoration makes you feel in a real brazilian house, very minimal and beautiful! You can use a small kitchen for coffee and breakfast. The hosts were extremely responsive to my questions and were always checking on me. The best part of it all is the ladies who work and live there. They made me feel like home
