Pousada Eliconial is a taste of paradise!
The friendly staff made our stay very comfortable. Owners Yvan and Ricardo kindly offered recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Nothing was too much trouble for these guys, they were only too happy to organise everything from Spa bookings (at the wonderful Shambhala Spa) to flights to Rio! Whilst managers Roberto and Claudia, respectively made the best Caipirinha (Brasil’s national cocktail) and delicious cakes.
Breakfast at Eliconial is a special treat consisting of tea/coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit, hams, cheeses, breads, pastries and of course Claudia’s wonderful cakes. After a dip in the pool it was a real pleasure to enjoy breakfast in the company of the resident parrot, dog, cats and the cute little monkeys who visit the beautifully kept garden.
I highly recommend the pousada Eliconial. It’s a beautiful, stylish, friendly and impeccably clean pousada. It is in a quiet residential area very near a nice beach and it’s an easy walk into Paraty.
We look forward to returning some day!
