A very nice property in the old town. Almost every detail takes you back to the history of Paraty. Quite an authentic stay, really enjoyed it. Modern facilities (wifi, shower, swimming pool etc.) are there but historical details dominate. Staff members are very helpful. Receptionists, some speak English, can guide you through the hotel and nearby area. Very nice guys and ladies. I had my suitcase broken during the trip to Paraty. A maintenance guy fixed it in less than an hour:- saved my trip, really grateful to the guy. Breakfast is in a very nice old style beautiful restaurant. It is a la carte, which is great for not overeating, and service is a high quality one. Historical part of the town is quite small and walkable, all that could be done in 2-3 hours. Overall, a very nice pleasant stay in a historical building, really enjoyed it. Thanks a lot and all the best to the property staff members.

We loved everything about this hitel and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Paraty! From the location, the breakfast menu, staff friendliness and willingness to help even with recommendations on where to go. The liittle things like asking what time you wanted breakfast prepared and served to ensure it is hot and ready when you are ready was much appreciated.

Good pousada in Paraty, inside historical center, nice breakfast, room 19 has good space but need more space but need more areas for luggage. Wifi was really poor, i had to go to lobby to get better internet, also being close to gate, could hear noise from people opening and closing the door.

Dear Mrs Alessandro, Thank you for staying with us and for bringing this information about wi-fi. It is a challenge to have good internet in Paraty, inside the historical center and we've beem working on that. We recently changed out internet provider to the best one available inside the historical center and also the wi-fi equipment to a more powerful one. Next visit we hope you will not have anymore problems!We hope to see you again.Best Regards,

Very nice rustic inn in a quiet section of Paraty. It is a quick 5-10 minute to all the attraction in the historic part of town and dozens of restaurants. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast selection in the morning was very good. Would highly recommend if you are planning a trip to Paraty.

Quaint with Five Star Ammenities
The hotel could not be more perfect. Impecable service and amenities. The town was charming but a bit slow due to low season. Our only complaint of the trip was a lack of decent bar to get a good cocktail. Pousada do Ouro could not be more perfect.

Excellent Location, People and Breakfast
The Hotel Pousada do Ouro is located centrally in Paraty. You can easily access it over the couple stone street and they provide inside protected parking for your car. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained. The service was at all times outstanding. Everyone was helpful. They supported us with travel guidance, restaurant recommendations and bookings. During heavy rain hours they would bring you an umbrella to your room. The breakfast buffet includes fresh fruits and juices, cakes, eggs with bacon, croissants, bread varieties, cold cuts and many other varieties. I would definitely stay here again. A big thank you to the staff at Pousada do Oura for this memorable stay.

The staff were brilliant! Very welcoming and helpful. The pool is gorgeous and perfect to sit in while chatting and sipping caipirinhas from the lovely bartender. There is also a pool table which is fun! The location is great and the building is very cosy. The beds are hard though, but all in all I loved the experience!

Paraty: where Cariocas go to forget about tourists
5 nights to rest after meetings in Rio... 5-6 hours of bus transfer with Paraty tour giving us a good view of the area. Silent room. Great area to take walks in the historic center of Paraty. Many great restaurants around at various price. Punto Divino restaurant even delivers dinner in the hotel! Nice pool and living room. Do not forget mosquito repellent mostly at end of the sunlight. They provide a mosquito repellent that you plug in the room and do not forget to put it on in your room... We were so busy going around during this special religious festivities that gave a very warm touch to the city. And do not forget the samba show each Monday night at one of the main square of the city: free and quite lively! A lot of Brazilian tourists and not so much tourists from elsewhere. We would go back anytime!

Lovey Paraty
We chose the hotel for its reviews and location on the historic city center. While the streets are hard to walk on as they are still in their original cobble stone design it is a very pleasant place.

Beautiful Common Areas Charming Rooms Great Staff
Pool, bar, restaurant and all common áreas the most charming we have found in the área! Orchids everywhere, safe easy parking off street, great staff, beautiful furniture and artwork everywhere. Decide between a room in the main building (around the reception área) or across the small street (no traffic) which is more private and charming! If anything missing - it's a good wifi signal anywhere on property but then again you should be exploring charming Paraty instead anyway!

Great stay at an intimate pousada
We made a great choice to stay at Pousada do Ouro during our time in Paraty. Immediately we sensed that the pousada is well-maintained and the staff are cheerful and gracious. Our room was in the annex across the street, and access is controlled by the lobby so you can rest assured that the privacy and safety is taken care of. We loved the room once we were in. The facilities and amenities are good, especially the water pressure. We enjoyed a prolonged shower at the end of the long trip here. We loved that the location of the Pousada slightly away from the epicentre of the historic district meant that we were nearby to all the action, but in a lovely and tranquil area once we reached back to the pousada. It was also very easy to stroll to the Forte Praia and the harbour area from the hotel (took about 5 minutes via the coastal road) where we enjoyed a nice little morning walk before breakfast. Breakfast itself is served in a room next to the lobby until 1030hrs and was very nice, especially the home-made jam (orange jabuticaba and dulce de leche were our favourites). You can request for made-to-order omelettes and egg dishes from the staff. The day we were there, there was also a big bowl of home-made yogurt which we topped up from the generous fruit basket next to it. We definitely left fully satisfied after breakfast!

Great Spot in Paraty
This hotel is located in a great location right in the historic district very close to the water and main square. The staff was extremely helpful in helping us book our schooner tour and answering all of our other (many) questions. The pool area is beautiful, and the entire premises made us feel like we were in an exotic place like Paraty, which is what we wanted. Also, they keep the hotel very secure, so we had peace of mind staying there as well.

Lovely well kept hotel sea side of the old town.
Quiet but easy walking distance to centre of old town and old port. Very traditional setting and ask the staff about the variety of excursions or just for advice on what to do. Perfect place for a short break away from the busier cites and places in Brazil. Internet slow but works.
