This hotel is different. They have just 6 or 7 rooms, well furnished, not big but very comfortable and cozy. The staff is realy professional. The location is excellent and Paraty is a very nice colonial city.

The Pousada decor is immaculate but there is 'stuff' everywhere - lots of art, trinkets, ornaments... The rooms again are immaculate but small, we had one with a balcony inc seats and hammock so spent a lot of time out there. Not a lot of space to hang anything so most of the clothes stayed in the suitcases. Breakfast is... More

This was our favorite place we stayed while in Brazil! It is very artsy (the owner is an artist and the rooms and walls are filled with her work). Beware: it is not a great spot for very large people, as the rooms/bathrooms are small and the is no elevator- instead there is a narrow winding staircase that goes up... More

Nice location, confortable bedrooms, cozy place. Great breakfast and afternoon tea. The staff is friendly, but they could be a little smarter. When we arrived the air conditioning was in repair, and later that afternoon it was working fine. I would recommend this place and I sure would be back. The low point is that it doesn't have a parking.

This was a place to remember. The pousada is on a gorgeus, quiet street. The decor was so unique and tasteful. I loved my room - it was very comfortable and had a beautiful view. The little touches are just fantastic. The staff are kind, and the breakfasts are really, really good!! I enjoyed nice wine at the little bar,... More

This was a great pousada, not because of the physicality, but because of the staff. They were amazing!!! The pool is too small and cold to be swimmable. The breakfast was all homemade by the staff... homemade cake, pasty, fresh fruit, eggs. The best breakfast by far in our entire time in Brazil. Location was fine. It was in the... More

We stayed at the Pousada Arte Urquijo for three nights. Art abounds everywhere...not just the kind you frame. The layout and various amenities are unique and authentic. The entire inn speaks to its owners personality, and it is hard not to appreciate this. There is private parking, small pool, free WiFi in the lobby, a bar where new guests receive... More
