Pousada Arte Colonial

In a quiet street, within short walking distance of the shops & restaurants in the historic centre. An old colonial property which had a great atmosphere. Staff very helpful arranging trips.

Love this place. Old and historic

Unique property! Very helpful staff! Breakfast was great!

A very charming property managed by some of the nicest people you will ever meet, everything in there is tasteful and breathing of history, the smooth jazz playing at the reception adds a touch of nostalgia, quite adorable.

That's a nice place to feel the colonial atmosphere of the town. The towels and sheets are not really good quality, but it's good enough. The matress is great. The breakfast is colonial, and it is not really vegan friendly, but there are few options to feel ok. The breakfast table is a sharing table, so it is not really a great thing depending on the "company". It is ok for the value. But, not excellent.

Great historical hotel in the centre of old Paraty. It's a delightful old building with period furniture and lots of charm. Staff very friendly. Breakfast included. The nearest parking or access by car/ taxi is a block away and dragging a suitcase across the large cobblestones is not easy. The bathroom is not modern and the Aircon and TV have not been updated for years but I'd rather stay here than in a bland chain hotel.

This is a great pousada/hotel. The place is very central and close to really good shops, bars and restaurants. You are basically in the heart of everything. Except at night, it is very quiet. I mean really quiet [Saturday night the whole town is subjected to club noise from the local youth hostel...so bring your earplugs..but except for this...tranquilo!]. The building is the place everyone wants to be photographed in front of and inside it is beautifully and respectfully decorated. This place is a piece of history. Even though the 'Classic Suite' has some issues [bathroom/noisy air conditioning] you will be glad you stayed in this amazing room. It is like stepping back in time. They offer a standard breakfast and you have lovely, quiet, chilled out staff around to help you out. This place is worth the money and worth staying at. Enjoy!

Such a lovely, unique space right in the middle of old town. Highly recommended.

It's a real experience to bit in a old colonial house in the centre of Paraty. It has that magic feel of transporting you back to a distant past. The main drawback is the bathroom: very small, not very comfortable and functional, not easy to get hot water, loo blocks easily... Breakfast is nothing special. The owners/managers are very friendly and helpful. As with any place in central Paraty, not recommended if you have heavy suitcases (you cannot roll them on the stone pavements)

I stayed two nights. The staff was very friendly and kind. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and cheerful. I liked the breakfast and historical interior decorating of the common spaces. No cars are allowed in the historical center so you will have to carry your luggage about 2 short blocks.

We had a lovely time at this small hotel in the middle of colonial Paraty.

Conseguimos uma reserva de última hora no carnaval a um preço justo. Localização muito boa no centro e café da manhã bom. O quarto no sótão merece uma atualização.

Horrible. Sale. Pas de drap mais une couverture pourrie. Sale de bain sordide. Lit non fait. On est resté 15mns et on est partis alors que l'on avait reservé 2 nuits.

Good lactation, but pretty old - especially the bathroom

A pousada necessita passar por uma atualizacao de limpeza e de acomodacoes. Esta muito decadente e muito mal cuidada. Travesseiros muito duros e desconfortaveis, muita poeira. O que salvou foram os funcionarios muito prestativos e solicitos, Aline e Andre. Mas, infelizmente, nao tem como voltar.

O hotel é uma raridade, localizado em um prédio antigo (com mais de 200 anos) e bem no meio do Centro Histórico de Paraty. Dá para fazer tudo a pé a partir dali. Os funcionários são o ponto forte do lugar, educadíssimos, sempre dispostos e de uma presteza incrível. Para quem está com muita bagagem fica o alerta de que não passa carro na frente do hotel (por ser área de preservação) e as ruas (por serem antigas) são horríveis de transitividade. Como é um prédio antigo, os móveis também são antigos. Vale a pena pela experiência e por tudo o que foi proporcionado para a gente. Retornaremos, com certeza.

Incrível! O recepcionista Eduardo é fantástico e muito atencioso. A pousada tem uma pegada rústica e simples, o que traz um charme a mais. Amamos tudo!

Pousada linda e toda colonial. Café da manhã deliciodo e com opções integrais. Dentro do centro histórico. Piscina muito pequena', mas o quarto é ótimo!

Localização excelente!

At first, the poussada is under renovation. All what is advertised on hotel.com is not right. The garden is under work, no access to pool. The kitchen is under work, no breakfast. The room os a disaster. No window that closes, no AC / Heating that works.On top, when we checked in, we could not stay at the hotel, and they relocated us into a lower standard poussada that was so bad. This hotel must be avoided and shall be removed from the platforms. I will file a claim as this is fully unacceptable. Do not go there
