Very tranquil property located just outside the center of Paraty. The owners Jimena and Dave are very warm and friendly. The excellent reviews are accurate and we found nothing less in the three nights we stayed. An unexpected benefit of the location was riding the complimentary bikes into the city center. Negotiating the night traffic was a great, fun means... more

We absolutely loved Pousada Guarana. We were 9 friends traveling in Brazil and found this perfect gem for our final days together in Paraty. We loved it so much that a few of us stayed more days than planned! The place has such a tranquil mellow vibe decorated beautifully with art and other worldly details, a little oasis. There is... more

Pousada Guarana is a one-of-a-kind gem located just outside of Old Town Paraty. The rooms are spacious and comfortable (even though you'll hardly find yourself inside them!) and the decor is fresh and appropriate, with the right combination of design, color, art and functionality. The breakfast is always on-time and delicious, and includes fresh fruits, breads, eggs, coffee, tea and... more

The only complaint we have is that the room could have used a chair! There was no place to sit but the bed. The food was really good at breakfast; lots of tropical fruit. The pool is wonderful, and really helped my wife's back, after the long drive from Rio. more

My husband and I recently spent 2 nights at the Pousada Guarana, and agreed we could have (and should have!) easily stayed for more. It is a lovely group of buildings, artfully decorated, with an inviting staff and comfortable rooms. It was totally unique and beautiful - the lush flowers and trees and artistic touches everywhere just screamed: "Relax! You... more

I cannot speak highly enough of this place and the people who work there, It is awesome. The staff are so friendly and extremely helpful. Its very reasonably priced, absolutely immaculate, beautifully decorated, the breakfasts are out of this world. I will be returning without a doubt and have already recommended this place to everyone I have met in Brazil.... more

There are a lot of Pousadas in Paraty and so it can be hard to judge which are of good quality and value before you go. Be rest assured that Pousada Guarana is an excellent choice. A lot of thought has gone into the architecture and design. The rooms are very clean and spacious with high ceilings. We particularly liked... more

My husband and I just returned from 11 days in Brazil (RIo, Parati and Iguassu falls). We spent 3 nights at Pousada Guarana and just loved it. David and Jimena are ideal hosts: friendly, caring, generous with their knowledge of the area... yet discreet. We felt like they were old friends... Breakfast was delicious, served by the pool. This is... more

A beautiful Pousada with a real boutique/arty feel and with great rooms/breakfast/facilties and overall attention to detail. The pousada owners and staff are incredibly helpful and friendly with service more akin to a five star hotel!!! We found the Pousada to be a tranquil sanctuary to relax and chill out in (so not a party zone). The owners knowledge of... more
