Stayed at this pousada for 4 night- probably a bit too long for Paraty. the setting of the pousada is lovely- idyllic gardens, hot tub, hammocks. the rooms themselves are small and in need of modernizing- was sufficient to need though. the pousada is located about 25 min walk from town- not too a strenuous of walk-nice walk along the...

we stayed at Eliconial poussada just for 3 days at the start of our trip. Before we even got there Roberto was really helpful helping us with flight connections and bus transfers via email. After a long transfer from rio we arrived late afternoon, the poussada itself is a good way out of Paraty at the far end of jabiraca... More

Lovely property with clean, basic rooms in beautiful grounds. Ricardo loves nature and has cultivated a beautiful, lush garden, attracting all sorts of birds and also monkeys to keep you entertained while you are relaxing in the garden or by the pool and if you are interested will take the time to tell you about the plants and show you...

This was a fantastic hide-away! They have a beautiful garden, nice little pool, hot tub, hammocks, and cute little cafe. The staff is extremely friendly and ready to help and give good advice. The French oowner is sociable and welcoming. The little cabanas were clean and cozy. The highlight of the experience is the little monkey family that lives in... More

What a lovely lovely place! We felt like we found a home away here, not only because of the pousada itself but also because the hosts Yvan and Ricardo are such nice people. Eliconial is set in lush green garden where every guest/couple gets his own wooden cabin complete with kitchenette, a simple bathroom and a little hammock in fresh... More

I just returned from a two night stay. The Pousada is located a little too far from the main center of the city for walking, at least for me, but driving to downtown was easy enough and parking as well - so no complaints there. The staff was very friendly, including the owner. It is a secluded place, quiet, located... More

My mom, sister and I stayed at Eliconial in Paraty for two nights. We were made to feel incredibly welcome, and Ricardo, Yvan and Roberto did everything they could to make our trip delightful. Every recommendation they made was excellent (don't miss La Luna right nearby and Margarida in town for some great service and relaxing bossanova). The pousada is... More

There are apparently 500 Pousadas in or around Paraty, but here are some reasons to consider staying at Eliconial Paraty Pousada. Roberto, Ricardo and Yvan are delightful hosts - they are French, and offer exceptional hospitality. Yvan is a great gardener, and the flowers and plants in the garden are quite lovely. They love animals, so if you like cats,... More

Had a good rest, was very relieved to have this lovely place and nice bungalow to rest and recuperate. Main terrace is lovely place to read,... More
