About
Pousada Literaria De Paraty
Pousada Literaria De Paraty sits on Rua Ten Francisco Antonio, 362, in the heart of Paraty’s historic center. The property is a 25-minute stroll from Jabaquara Beach, but you’re also steps from the town’s shops and restaurants. The pousada’s name hints at its theme: a library atmosphere that book-loving guests have called a dream come true.
The pousada’s grounds are lush and green, creating a jungle-like feel despite the central location. The heated outdoor pool, garden area, and sun loungers make it easy to unwind. Rooms range from Guest Rooms to a full Villa, and some feature city views, coffee machines, or bathtubs. On-site dining includes a restaurant, bar, and in-room breakfast, with a buffet served by the pool.
