Overview
The main-house has commanding views in all directions – of the beach, out to sea, to the neighbouring uninhabited islands and to the virgin hills of the mainland. It is the ideal get away or those wanting to disconnect from their everyday stresses and be pampered. The style of the house is modern –a contemporary take on a the hacienda style of construction - with lots of light open spaces and glass-panelled roofs to allow make the most of the Tropical light and views. The landscape and trees form an integral part of the architecture, providing shade, filtering the harsh mid-day light and in parts trees are even incorporated into the architecture. It is an ideal beach house, with white painted bed and bathrooms, unfussy fittings and emphasis on the views and outside spaces rather than chic interior design.
Best months are from March to October where there is less rain, although the peak season is still Dec/Jan/Feb, the summer, when it is both hotter and wetter. The increasingly well known literary festival, FLIP, takes place in July.
Paraty is a lovely 17th century town that has been perfectly preserved thanks to a long period of isolation and declared a National Historical Monument in 1966 which has further safeguarded its preservation.
The winding, narrow streets paved with giant cobblestones, were designed to protect the town from pirate raids. Small fishermen’s cottages sit side-by-side with impressive merchants mansions, all white stucco with brightly coloured shutters and doors. Vehicles are banned from the old town and the wealth of art galleries, shops and restaurants are best explored on foot.
The old town today buzzes with a good selection of unpretentious bars and restaurants, small shops and galleries that offer of good options to eat out in the evening.

Our properties are priced clearly by the week and the cost of extra services (transfers, boat charter, extra staff, whatever is needed to make a holiday perfect) are all transparent and upfront.
Since we started renting Brazil's best beach houses nearly 10 years ago, others have tried to copy our Original Brazilian Beach House Style but only we know how to get the best out of your time both on holiday and in Brazil. The house is only part of the equation to a great holiday, the rest lies in exceptional service and delivery of what is promised.
We understand that not everyone coming to Brazil will want to rent a house so we have hand picked the best beach hotels that share the Beach House creed of style and service. These hotels and pousadas can be booked through us at the same rates - or less - than with the hotels themselves.
