Pousada Picinguaba
Pousada Picinguaba is perched above a tranquil bay amongst the tropical coastal forest of Serra do Mar, a half hour drive from Paraty and around 3.5 hours’ drive from Rio de Janeiro.
This peaceful and private paradise offers nine double rooms, one honeymoon suite, and the secluded Villa Casa Verde. Decor is sober and includes original works of Brazilian artists, while the comfortable furnishings offer many elegant touches. Patio doors open out onto a private balcony with a hammock and views incorporate the well-tended gardens and sea. The Villa offers one suite and two double rooms as well as a fully equipped kitchen, lounge/dining area and large exterior deck ideal for alfresco dining. Guests of the Villa have use of all hotel facilities.
A large spring-fed pool is set amongst exotic gardens festooned with orchids and bromeliads. Sample a range of signature cocktails created from fresh tropical fruits and sugar cane liquor at the poolside bar and savour Portuguese seafood specialities in the excellent restaurant.
Aside from exploring the nearby colonial town of Paraty, Picinguaba offers a host of fantastic excursions and activities including rainforest hikes to isolated waterfalls, horse riding, kayaking, surfing, and island tours aboard the owner’s 40ft schooner.
