Pousada Magia Verde — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Angra dos Reis

The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The electric shower just poured down nice, hot water. The gardens were left natural requiring less maintenance, but were still very nice. The parking on the dirt driveway was fine, but may get a little tight if the place was busy. The pool is on the smaller side (about 25' x 10'), but good for a quick swim. The Pousada is somewhat close to the main road, but far enough away to not bother you. it's so quiet at night and in the morning that it wouldn't matter anyway. The wood trim and cabinets could use some updates, but that's a pretty minor issue. The place is 1 1/2 miles from old town Paraty, so it is best to have a car staying here. Without good directions, it's a little hard to find back in a quiet, residential neighborhood, which, contrary to the previous review, seemed more than safe.||||The small boat storage place next door with it's own boat launch may be a problem if there were early morning fisherman launching, but it was real quiet when we were there.||||Mosquito's absolutely love me, so even though I didn't see any, I did get 3 bites while wearing shorts, maybe to breakfast. But, my son and wife didn't get bit at all. But, in Paraty, you're likely to get bit anywhere, so don't let that stop you from staying here.||||Breakfast was good with plenty to eat. And, it was pleasant eating right by the river. Decaf is not a norm in Brazil, but I had bought my own at the store previously and they were happy to make it for me for breakfast both mornings we stayed.||||Bottom line, for the money, this...

This is a lovely pousada full of nature with a very friendly staff. We had a few slight disappointments. We did not get the room we had reserved, though we did get a similar one and it served our purposes. The room we chose had a tub, which was very nice and worked well. Ample hot water. The room was clean, though there was confusion during our only full day there and we did not receive maid service, which was kind of a bummer. The breakfast is nice, served by the pool overlooking a creek. Very peaceful. The grounds themselves are very quiet at night, however our only real complaint was the air conditioner which made a horrible squawking noise during most of the second night of our stay, even when it was turned off. Very strange. They do not have a 24 hour front desk, so we couldn't report the problem and got a poor night's sleep. All in all, a nice base for exploring Paraty. About 7 minutes to drive to the historical town where you can walk to the tourist pier and take boats around the islands. About 10 minutes to the local beach. Not to easy to walk to destinations from here, but great if...

Honestly I loved staying here! Firstly the beds. The beds are REAL doubles not two singles put together. The linen and towels are of lovely high standard quality. For Paraty the wifi is excellent and when it's not the owner gets someone out immediately to fix it. They were helpful with our daughter. Beautiful birds and monkeys sharing breakfast with us. So flexible with any changes you might want to make. Very very kind and considerate. Super clean rooms with great breakfast with huge variety and importantly HOT breakfast! I really totally 100% recommend this amazing place which is such good value for money. By the way you can get a boat tour to pick you up from the river at the bottom of the garden!!!! And they speak at least good English, Spanish and Portuguese in...
