Picinguaba Pousada is a charming hotel in an exceptional location, ideal for enjoying the surrounding nature and the local way of life. Picinguaba overlooks a peaceful bay at the heart of the Natural Park of Serra do Mar, the tropical coastal forest running between Rio and Sao Paulo, about half an hour drive south of Paraty.
Picinguaba Pousada features 10 comfortable rooms all opening onto the natural surroundings and the sea, including a dream honeymoon suite with en-suite jacuzzi and a breathtaking view of the ocean.
The local road stops at the beach and one has to walk the last 250 m to the hotel, nestled in the forest.
Everything here is attuned to the spirit of the place, with nothing to disturb nature's magic: no TV or telephone in the rooms, no Internet, no air-conditioning. This place is for you to be in a different world, the only sounds are the wind in the palm trees and the sea gently lapping the shore.
The rooms are simple but comfortable, walking out onto a vast garden with the sea as a backdrop. Overgrown luscious tropical flowers and plants form natural screens for the rooms, with humming birds as visitors.
Nine rooms are double or twin, some with an extra bed and a honeymoon suite. Each room has a private balcony with a hammock.
The hotel decoration is sober and includes original works of Brazilian artists.
As in many colonial houses, common rooms are large. One of them is equipped as a home cinema, where you can view projected on the white wall some classics and Brazilian masterpieces. In the lounge you will find a rich multi-lingual library, with a good selection of books on Brazilian culture, as well as a selection from the country's rich literary heritage. A piano and a guitar are on hand if any of the guests would like to play.
