We made reservations for two nights based on Trip Advisor ratings. Wish we could have stayed longer. We were made to feel welcome. Given lots of information, recommendations and maps. The bungalow was beautiful and comfortable. Breakfast was wonderful. John has paid careful attention to every detail. It is clean, bright and peaceful. If you like plants, you'll love the... More

If you go to Paraty, you must stay here. Nothing else comes close. I have now been several times to the expensive inns in the Historic Center. While the novelty of staying in an old building along with the convenience of location have their benefits, the prices are absolutely ridiculous. Meanwhile, just a short walk (right over the bridge –... More

This place is amazing. Beautifully maintained, Jon is so helpful and friendly, the staff prepare a beautiful and delicious breakfast, the rooms are immaculately cleaned, and the location is perfect. By far best place we stayed in Brazil.

Beautiful and spotless accomodation. The best breakfast we've ever had, served directly to you on your own personal patio and all topped off by the amazing friendly welcome of John, the owner. He made us feel so at home and was incredibly helpful with our onward travel plans. We can't recommend it highly enough.

We stayed at this Pousada on our honeymoon in February 2013. The Pousada is amazing, very clean and perfectly furnished. The breakfast is excellent and the pool area outstanding. John was a wonderful host offering tips and adive for things to do in Paraty. The Pousada is excellent value for money and we would definetly recommend it.

We stayed at Vivenda in December and when we arrived after a very long journey it was like reaching paradise. The Pousada is beautifully decorated and the attention to detail is amazing. John the host was lovely and welcoming and the breakfast was the best we had in Brazil. This was the best place we stayed in Brazil not only... More

Stayed 3 nights here with my wife back in September 2012. My wife picked this place out after doing research here on Tripadvisor. I can see why this is listed as the #1 B&B in Paraty. John, owner and host of Vivenda greeted us and showed us around the property. The place is like paradise. The pousada (translates to inn... More

During a month spent traveling in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay the Vivenda provided the most memorable experience and is definitely amongst the best B&Bs we have experienced anywhere. John is a most gracious host who prides himself on ensuring your experience in Paraty is outstanding. The rooms are immaculate, the breakfast superb and the gardens picturesque. That alone makes his... More

This one of the best places I have stayed during holidays. Charming, beautiful, relaxing.. John is amazing, so warm, helpful...thanks to him I discovered Brazilian music and become addicted. No words to describe my experience.
