Pousada Literária de Paraty

Beautiful pousada, perfect central location, excellent staff and amenities. Highly recommend it. The restaurant next door is also a must try!

We absolutely loved this Pousada. The grounds are beautiful with lots of greenery. The pool is a great size considering that most of the hotels in the area have very small pools or none at all. There were plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas. I enjoyed all the books especially the coffee table books in the reception area which was a nice area to relax during the rain of the day. The breakfast was delicious, fresh fruits, fresh juices , and you could order eggs and the pao de queso waffle which was so yummy, I had it everyday. Our room was on the second floor, lots of natural light coming in and very spacious, it was a master suite , with a bathtub and shower and a sitting area where the sofa turned into a bed if you needed it. The bed and AC were very comfortable. Everyday they would leave us different dessert treats in the room, felt very special. I enjoyed the spa treatment I got which was the one that included the facial, a therapy bath, a massage and body scrub. It was great! And my husband got the facial which he enjoyed and it made him glow. Our very last day, we got visited by some monkeys while eating breakfast, we were all so happy. It was magical. We stayed a total of three nights and enjoyed every second. The location is perfect too. Another bonus I left a bag of laundry for them to wash and when we got back from an excursion they had it all done and folded in our room for us. They also helped us hire a private boat and jeep excursions. We loved our time here and hope to come back some day.

Pousada Literaria is a little oasis amidst the touristic town of Paraty - with trees and shadow, a modern pool and a gym , a nice bar and very friendly and helpful staff. Designed with good taste. We could fully relax and will come back. Recommended!
