About

Pousada Cantinho Da Mata

Pousada Cantinho Da Mata is a six-room guesthouse set back from the coast road, about 15 minutes' drive from the Trilha Do Ouro trailhead. The property is intentionally small, which keeps the atmosphere quiet and personal. Expect simple, clean rooms, some with balconies and air conditioning, plus shared spaces like a garden, sun terrace, a TV room, and a kitchen where guests can cook their own meals.

The guesthouse has free parking and offers luggage storage, laundry services, and tour or ticket assistance. There is no restaurant on site, but the shared kitchen and area dining options cover that. The current guest rating is 9.3 out of 10, based on 38 reviews, with facilities receiving a perfect score – a rare combination of practicality and comfort at this price point.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Outside the town centre — The pousada is a 15-minute drive from Trilha Do Ouro, and while the address suggests a rural setting, it's not walkable to Paraty's historic centre or beaches.
  • Limited room count — With only six rooms, availability is tight, and the intimate scale means there is no full restaurant or bar on site.
  • No pets allowed — Travelers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the pousada's policy explicitly prohibits them.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 2 PM and 10 PM, so late arrivals require planning or coordination with the staff.
