We finished our seven week trip to South America with a stay at Resort Croce del Sud. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We were treated exceptionally well by our hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. The views from the balcony were amazing and the breakfasts kept us going thoughout the day. We didn't have a car nor did we... More

My friend and I stayed three nights in Resort Croce del Sud and we loved it! It is a very small scale resort, with only a few appartments with full equipped kitches. The view from the hill over the bay is amazing! The breakfast we had was the best I ever experienced. If you go here, we would recommend to... More

I stayed here with my husband and our two children for 7 days and nights. The service was excellent and the apartment was charming. The location is only a short drive from Paraty. After a day spent touring the town of Paraty, or the many beaches or waterfalls in the area, the Resort Croce del Sud is the perfect place... More

If you are looking for a calm paradise, you are right here. We travelled for 3 weeks in brazil, paraty was the second place on our journey and afterwards i am a little bit angry, that we just stayed for 3 nights. Because of: Luca and his familiy are very lovely to their guests, the breakfast is incredible, if you... More

I stayed here for a week with two friends and my 4 month old son. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The view is stunning and the rooms are well thought out. They had everything you could need - while purposefully foregoing such modern "conveniences" as internet, phone and cable - allowing you to... More

This is the perfect place to “recharge your batteries”. The location is great: peacefully quite, surrounded by nature, with a breathtaking view; all this can be enjoyed from blessed balconies; don’t be surprised if you end up spending long times there staring at the bay, the little port of Ilha do Araujo, the fishermen throwing their nets, which I did!...

As other reviewers point out, the hotel has an absolutely stunning view of the bay below so the terrace out front makes for a very nice spot. You definitely need your own vehicle to get here as it's out of town and up a very steep, long road off the highway. The rooms themselves, however, could use a bit more... More

Trip with friends to Paraty for a relaxing two night stay and Resort Croce do Sul was the perfect location. Outside the town (so you need your own transport or to be happy taking the regular local bus/taxi to reach Paraty itself) the well designed chalets have an amazing view over the bay. The highlights of the stay (apart from... More

I stayed at Croce del Sud in October 2011. Luca's 3 cabins are a dream of a place to stay. The views form the deck, even the bed, are exquisite. A wonderful, large, fresh breakfast is delivered to your door every morning. From the bread, to the juice, to whatever delicious assortment of savory (and sometimes a sweet surprise) main... More
