The comments about Emerson are echoed. He is a great guy, fantastically helpful with great money saving tips for trips and restaurants. He is on hand 24/7 and nothing is too much trouble. We had one night in a superior room (at no extra cost) and nine in a poolside room. The rooms are clean and have everything you need.... More

This was a really great B&B. I stayed with two friends for one week while travelling. If I return to Paraty I would definitely stay here again. I booked based on online reviews and a personal recommendation, which proved to be accurate. The atmosphere was relaxed and we felt at home, the breakfast was great. The highlight of this B&B...

Ok, this is not your 5 star ritz carton and you should not be here if that's what you are looking for. It is a simple Pousada with a wonderful owner, Emerson. He is the one that makes your stay pleasant. The rooms are simple, but clean and friendly. You won't have the 500 count Egyptian cotton white starched sheet,... More

We stayed here for two nights, in an en suite family room (double bed plus bunks for the kids). We had originally booked for four nights, but Emerson the owner had got himself in a pickle and couldn't fit us in after all. He found us a room at a nearby pousada (Talismão, see separate review) before we even arrived... More

The young owner Emerson is very, very helpful indeed, with a passion for Rio de Janeiro State (he's a Carioca himself). We couldn't have made the most of our limited time in Paraty without his assistance. Emerson speaks excellent English (as well as Spanish and French, apparently), and drew us a map of Trinidades (30km from Paraty on the bus),... More

Where to start, there are so many great things to say. Firstly the owner Emerson was so lovley and very helpful with organising tours for us ( booking us with tour guides he knew spoke good english) and suggesting resturants. He speaks excellent english himself and makes you feel right at home. The breakfast was great and on the mornings... More

More like a hotel than a hostel. The perfect place to relax for a few days after Rio. The owner Emerson is the most friendly and helpful guy ever, and the rooms are luxury after most hostels wev stayed in.

This Pousada was lovely! We stayed 2 days with my girlfriend, and we both wanted to stay more in that place (unfortunately, the pousada was full because of the approaching New Year's Eve). It is located a few hundreds meters away from the Historic Center, close to bus station and banks. The owner is very friendly and speaks many languages... More
