We decided to visit Paraty after spending two days on Ilha Grande, and had the chance to stay in the Ouro suite of the Pousada do Ouro. We will never forget our experience. Everything was perfect : excellent bed, splendid panoramic view including sea view and church view, comfortable bathrobes, original swimming pool, sauna and hammam facilities, excellent barman. We...

This would be an ideal hotel if you are going to be having a romantic break in paraty. There's a wonderful small pool and sun lounging area and a nautical themed bar (that makes it sound tacky, it's not, it's done with very good taste) where helpful staff mix up mean gin and tonics - as long as you specify...

The pousada is in a great location in Paraty, in a charming colonial building. The rooms are small but clean and the pool and communal areas are really pleasant. The staff are generally very friendly, in particular the restaurant staff and a friendly young lady who works at reception who spoke impeccable English. Breakfast is simple but nice. On the... More

Dear Mr. Moss, We are very glad you enjoyed your stay with us and thank you for your positive comments about your stay at Pousada do Ouro.

I am so happy I chose this pousada! I was traveling by myself, but the staff was so helpful helping me book all my day trips and giving me suggestions for dinner, that I never felt uneasy. Extraordinary location, in the middle of the historical centre so you can walk to the best restaurants and bars, plus the port and... More

This is among the top-tier of accommodation in Paraty (by location, size, price, facilities). The rooms are very pretty and tastefully furnished, but it needs much better attention to detail at this level, in particular the demeanour of the staff. Unlike mostly anywhere else, this place has no genuine warmth. It is almost unwelcoming The staff come across mostly exactly... More

We arrived in Rio, for two days, and then took a private car to Paraty. The cobblestone streets were alarming at first, but once we arrived at the Pousada do Ouro we fell in love with Paraty. The hotel staff were amazing. Even though we were told when we made the reservation that our room would probably not be ready... More

This is a great place! We stayed for three nights, having booked through Imagine Latin America (who I would thoroughly recommend). We were in a superior room across the road, on an upper floor. The room was not the poshest of our South American trip but had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed. The location is truly peaceful... More

We travelled with our two year old daughter, and a hire car. Our room was in the main complex...there is an adjoining complex across the road, it looked nice, but we didn't go in...so maybe check with the hotel where your room is as some reviews haven't been too positive on the adjoining complex.

We stayed here 4 nights and loved it! Great ambience, beautiful building, lovely pool area with a great pool for small children and very friendly staff. Food is great. Only comment is that the because of the heavy rainfall the room was a bit damp and it was a bit dark. Enough lights but not a lot of daylight.

I loved our stay in this beautiful Pousada... Let me first mention that quality of accommodation combined with good service is a bit of a 'hit &miss' in Brazil altogether. So this place is well ahead of any competitors. 1. Location is superb as it is placed conveniently in the historic and arty center of Parati as well as being... More
