Calamar Flats Paraty
Calamar Flats Paraty"Our stay was amazing. The flats are very well kept, has everything you need. The pool was a great bonus too. Easy to get around and lots of local spots nearby. Opposite the beach. Communication with the team was impeccable - they gave great recommendations and helped us when we were stuck ob any issues! "




Hospedagem Pouso Famíliar
Hospedagem Pouso Famíliar"A suíte estava super limpa e arrumada com roupas de cama, toalhas e tapetes novos; ela fica na edícula nos fundos da casa da anfitriã Cris. O carro ficou estacionado dentro da casa. A localização é perfeita para quem não quer se preocupar com estacionamento pelo centro histórico que sempre está lotado. Cris é uma excelente anfitriã, extremamente educada e atenciosa. O único porém pode ser a falta de isolamento/privacidade que algumas pessoas podem preferir, no mais é ótima e super recomendo."

Localização excelente, ambiente espaçoso e agradável, o jardim é um luxo raro no centro histórico. Apesar de uma primeira dificuldade de comunicação na véspera da viagem que nos causou certa ansiedade, tudo acabou correndo bem, e o anfitrião foi gentil e atencioso. Recomendamos!"




Flats Jardim de Ramos Paraty
Flats Jardim de Ramos Paraty"Os cômodos são bem espaçosos, inclusive o banheiro, o colchão é bom, o chuveiro tb, a limpeza estava ótima. Sentimos falta de alguns pequenos itens, como proteção do ralo da pia, criado-mudo, uma segunda boca no fogão e um móvel para armazenar mantimentos na cozinha. Mas uma boa experiência em geral!
