Casarao Amarelo, Paraty

Founded in 1667, Paraty is one of the oldest and best preserved colonial towns in all of Brazil and is surrounded by spectacular beaches and enclosed by the luscious Mata Atlantica forest. This tiny concentration of traditional architecture, set amidst an immense landscape of natural beauty, was only 'discovered' when the Rio to Santos Highway opened in the 1970s.

Casarao Amarelo stands on its own beach a very short drive from the historical centre. Its swimming pool overlooks the calm waters and the myriad of islands in the bay while its tropical gardens are the ideal setting for a family picnic. The house is airy and spacious, with a detached guest house a few steps away, ideal for the teenage contingent. Guests can drive or sail to the seven beaches of Trinidade or to the beautiful island of Pelada Pequena for drinks at its famous bar.

The villa is approximately a three hour thirty minute drive from Sao Paulo or forty minutes by helicopter.
