Pousada do Sandi

If you’re in need of a proper pousada in Paraty then do Sandi could well be your fix. This beautiful colonial building is very easy on the eyes and you’re in the midst of the action in the older part of town.

Inside, the décor is a little surprising, bright, bold colours in both rooms and the dining room, while the bar is more in tune with the exterior’s classic architecture and offers an atmospheric spot for a caipirinha or two. This is a fun place to stay during your visit to Paraty and you’ll find the staff to be wonderful when it comes to local knowledge.

Pippo Restaurant serves a Sicilian-inspired menu (thanks to chef Pippo's roots), reviewed and refined to work with more local ingredients and flavours.

The 24 rooms offer a lovely blend of traditional and contemporary with polished wooden floors and bright pops of colour. It's worth requesting a room facing the courtyard if you're a light sleeper as there can be some noise from the street.

The Asian Day Spa will have you unwinding in no time with a range of massages and treatments available along with a sauna and hammam. For those looking to stay in shape whilst on their travels, there is a small fitness room on site.

Located on a cobbled street in the heart of Paraty's historic centre, the hotel offers a great base from which to explore the picturesque town along with the beautiful islands in the Bay of Ilha Grande.

Free Wi-fi is available.
