We stayed in Elicolonial for 2 nights but wished we could have stayed longer! Ricardo, Roberto & Yvan were amazing hosts from start to finish.. They recommended us the best tours, restaurants and even things for us to do later in our holiday! The rooms are big and comfortable and the bar area is a great place to have a... More

After spending 3 weeks in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil we spent the last 6 nights at Eliconial. We loved it. It was calm and quiet after the busy cities. The owner really made us feel at home with good service. The whole place was very well looked after, the gardens, cottages, sauna, jacuzzi etc and he spoke good English which... More

We had a blast :) The rooms were very clean and comfy. There was a steam sauna and jacuzzi in the garden, although we didn't have time to use them. I recommend going on the waterfalls tour which was absolutely fantastic. We didn't enjoy the boat tour as much. It was cheesy and a bit boring. Instead we advise to... More

I invited friends from Canada and Brasil to join me for my 50th birthday and we stayed at Eliconial. Ricardo provided exceptional hosting and a fond memory is his arrangement of an evening at a local "restaurant" called Amigos. He and his staff provide excellent service and the facilities are wonderful. It is a walk to the centre of Paraty... More

After spending almost a month in Brazil it was apparent that the week in Paraty was the highlight of the trip. We enjoyed fabulous restaurants, tours and beach time. The best part was slowly dragging ourselves out to the terrace for coffee and breakfast every morning. Recapping our travels with other guests. We would then use the invaluable knowledge from...

A little botanical gem behind a thick gate. We stayed 3 nights and we loved the atmosphere, the cute little houses, the lush garden, the pleasant breakfast area, the being around cats and the parrot and of course, the most helpful staff! No question was left unanswered! We'd definately recommend the place for its sense of style, its warm welcome... More

Eliconial is a little oasis away from the (high season) chaos of the town centre which can be extremely busy. The rooms are tasteful and have ample room (for a couple, ours was a little large as it included an extra loft bedroom which was unnecessary and probably adds to the cost). The rooms have mosquito nets (essential for this... More

Our arrival to this pousada was like "finally, we can relax!". The staff are amazing, made us feel very welcome and always on hand. Thank you to the man who studied in Canada - your tips were VERY helpful and thanks to you we had a great stay and didn't miss some of the best bits in Paraty (the waterfall... More

This was us stepping up from hostels, more of a leap really. 3 nights. Best breakfast in 4mths of travelling, super friendly staff. After a day on the beach or in town lovely to come back for afternoon tea, spa & sauna. Rooms were impeccable, cleaned daily. Garden was beautiful, complete with Dalmatian, parrot & monkeys! One of our most... More
