Pousada Pardieiro

Pousada in real life was better than on pictures, which is really unusual. Staff was really responsive even though english is not their strong point (almost nobody speaks). This hotel is great to stay even if it'd be not situated in the historical center of such a picturesque towan as Parati.

The setting of the Pousada in various smaller interconnected buildings is fantastic and moreover all the rooms are equipped with a great variety of Brazilian furniture and artefacts. Relaxed, very homely atmosphere. Excellent breakfast.

Beautifully decorated (in the colonial style) series of old interconnected cottages in a garden in old town Paraty.

For me, this was an ideal place to stay in Parati. In the historic center, only a block or two from shops, as well as the waterfront. The room was simple but beautifully decorated. The pousada has a beautifully landscaped courtyard and several common rooms, where you can relax on sofas, chairs, or hammocks with plenty of interesting books, magazines, and videos available. Everywhere you look there is an interesting painting, historic map, sculpture, antique furniture, etc. It is like visiting the home of a friend who is a great host with a flair for design. There are no TV sets in the rooms, adding to the peacefulness of the place. Very highly recommended!
