OMG it's delicious, and cheap. eating in town, for this american, was like tijuana but 3 times the price. the food at Villa Del Rey was awesome. my son loved the pool and pool toys.

Charming environment, with very kind atendees. Not far from historical center.

My boyfriend and I chose the pousada for its rates and its pictures. In fact, the pousada had great outdoor spaces. The pool was lovely! The pousada has no walls to surround it, which only enhances the great feeling of peace the establishment brings. Service was great, breakfast was yummy and fully served. However, the room was a great downside.... More

For the price, it was a reasonable place. The owners were friendly (although I think the ownership has changed... More

Highly recommend this pousada. As other reviewers have noted, the pousada is very well run by a Belgian, Luc, who has created a super property in Parati/Paraty.
