Beautiful hotel with lush garden, rustic decor and large, stylish communal areas, largest we ever experienced - many places to sit, lay in hammock, eat, slouch on sofa; several living rooms to lounge and relax. Breakfast was served with a selection of cheeses, rolls, breads and exotic fruits and juices (guava juice was my favourite). The hotel owner even made eggs to make us feel welcome.
The staff are very warm, spoke basic English and advised us on the trips available in Paraty. A mobile air conditioning unit was provided on our second day of stay.
