This was my favourite place during our trip to Brazil. The pousada is beautiful with great pieces of antique furniture and art dotted around the garden as well as a lovely pool. Rooms are full of character and spacious with high ceilings, and we had a very cute private terrace with a hammock. The (vegetarian) breakfast was also very good.... More

This is a top quality establishment. The owners are unbelievably hospitable. More hospitable than we have ever experienced in any accommodation. For example, dropping us off at the bus terminal for free, putting on a phenomenal breakfast each morning, giving us fantastic recommendations for restaurants and things to see and do, and generally caring about (and giving great attention) to...

We stayed 3 nights as part of a family vacation with our adult children, and we were very pleased with this pousada. The grounds and rooms are very clean and well kept...with lots of charm. The owners, Jimena and David, were so helpful. They gave us directions for a wonderful beach outside of town (45 minute bus ride), arranged for... More

David and Jimena offer something that we have never had in any lodging in the world before… and I doubt we will find again. Upon arrival we were shown around the grounds by Max (who is an absolute asset to the team) and presented to the many cats and dogs (and Gabby!) who seemed to be lined up for their... More

We stayed in Paraty for three nights after three nights in Rio and from the moment we started travelling down the coast of the Costa Verde on the air conditioned coach we knew it was going to be special. The twisting, turning roads revealed glimpses of emerald green water and sandy coves and looking inland redefined the world lush with... More

We stayed at the Pousada in January 2011 (yes, I'm a little behind in writing my review, but I am just getting all of pictures together from our Brazil trip and am recalling our wonderful stay at the Pousada). What makes this place so terrific is the warm hospitality by the staff, cleanliless, and overall tranquility. David and Jimena are... More

There are very few times in life when something beats all your expectations - and Pousada Gurana is one of those moments! We just spent a wonderful 3 days in Paraty. The Pousada is beautiful - clean simple rooms & lovely common areas with friendly pets, breakfast is delicious with home made cakes & fresh fruit, tea and fresh coffee... More

Purpose build pousada, with spacious rooms and common areas, and attentive service from owners. Good breakfast. Great value. Recommended. Tip: when visiting Paraty stay here and enjoy the patios of the much pricier historic centre pousadas over a drink. More

Although 1km from the main town this place is a dream come true, the owners David and Jimena have created a haven of beautifully appointed immaculate bedrooms, swimming pool,friendliest of welcomes and the best breakfast in 3 weeks of travelling. More
