We stayed at 'Quinta' for a few nights and found it a fabulous place to relax and chill out. Esther really makes you feel like a friend that has come to stay. The house has a spectacular setting within the forest but is close enough to a public road that it doesn't feel remote. Wildlife was in abundance, including the... More

I am not super adventurous and the idea of staying at a B&B in Brazil was a little scary for me but this experience was hands down the best time ever. In between travel to Rio and Sao Paolo, two friends and I went to Paraty. Staying in Paraty and at Quinta da Floresta was a dream come true and... More

One of the most beautiful, peaceful and tasteful places I have ever stayed in! Esther made every effort possible to accomodate us and gave us very good tips on what to do with our time in Paraty! The Quinta is in the middle of the atlantic forest, so we saw loads of beautiful friendly animals and were surrouded by a... More

Quinta da Floresta is truly an incredible place. The large property has beautiful gardens that you can walk through, and a short path will lead you to a river that flows over huge rocks and boulders. We swam in the river almost every day, and also spent a day exploring, climbing and jumping from rock to rock. You can see... More

The house is spacious and comfortable, but the location is what sets this place apart from other pousadas. It is hidden from the road, is surrounded by rainforest and has its own private natural pool in the river that runs through the forest. Esther is a great host and made us feel very welcome. Great for kids. It's 10 minutes... More

This is a beautiful house, located in a stunning landscape, with forest as a back-drop and amazing beaches accessible by bus. Esther is the most friendly, interesting host you could hope for and my wife and I, plus two friends, were so grateful for the time we spent there. The rooms are spotless and beautifully decorated, as is the whole... More

A lovely setting away from the typical tourist areas yet close enough to the great local beaches and surrounded by the rainforest. Monkeys and birds generally joined us for breakfast which was delightfull- you need a car to get around if you have children but otherwise busses are good and if you are keen can bike into paraty too fairly...

We had the opportunity to stay in Quinta da Floresta to participate of FLIP in Parati and the hint given to us to stay in that "pousada" was no doubt a good one; we were not disappointed with the place. The hotel is really nice and its owner Ester is very friendly and has great willingness to help the guests... More

I and two friends spent two days in this wonderful hotel whose owner, Esther, is one of the most hospitable and kind people we've ever met. The hotel is located in the mountains and there is a small waterfall in walking distance. We had a chance to appreciate different varieties of birds and monkeys there. The hotel is clean and... More
