The Pousada
Two colonial townhouses, facing each other
Pousada do Ouro occupies two colonial-era townhouses in the heart of Paraty’s historic centre, separated only by a cobblestone street closed to cars. Whitewashed façades, colourful windows, Brazilian wood and a preserved tropical garden.
We preserve the colonial style and pair it with contemporary comfort: Simmons beds, Trussardi bathrobes, selected amenities and attentive, unfussy service.

World Heritage, a schooner ride from the islands
From the pousada you can walk to the churches, the restaurants and the pier where boats leave for the islands and beaches of the bay. Reception recommends and books schooner, jeep and hiking tours.
Hospitality
Here, “welcome” is more than a greeting
We believe true hospitality lies in simplicity: in attention without formality, in the kindness of people who know the town, and in the dedication of a team that turns every stay into a memory worth keeping.
We also offer the pousada as a venue for those who wish to hold weddings, celebrations and meetings.
