Location is fantastic, breakfast delicious, a great spread every morning, buffet style and a la carte. Also have a small but lovely pool, and spa with a great list of services, very attentive and helpful staff. A little oasis in a bustling historic city full of tourists. I just suggest they open the rooms when not being occupied, my suite had a musty smell of a place that never airs. I would not skip lunch and visit to their Fazenda Bananal - it's a reserve farm 10 mins away, scenic and lovely.
The best location for a visit to Paraty, really great and helpful staff, great pool, breakfast and hotel grounds. Only reason for 4 stars are the room we stayed in had almost no natural light. That said we had a good nights sleep and the room itself was nice otherwise.
Recommend for a stay in Paraty.
We stayed at Pousada literária for 2 days. It’s a great place to stay. The ultimate unpretentious luxury that Brazilians know so well how to make happen. The grounds of the Pousada are manicured, it is located right in one of the main streets of Paraty (a pearl itself). The staff is as helpful and kind as it gets and the restaurant is also excellent. 100% recommend.

The Pousada Literária de Paraty is highly praised for its excellent location in the heart of Paraty, helpful and caring staff, beautiful pool area, delicious breakfast offerings, spacious and comfortable rooms (though some lack natural light), serene atmosphere surrounded by lush greenery where guests can spot monkeys and birds. Guests appreciate the amenities like the spa and gym, but note minor details that could be improved such as room lighting or breakfast variety. Overall, visitors enjoy a relaxing stay at this oasis in a bustling historic city.

Superb pousada! Beautiful structure! Caring and trusted staff that goes above and beyond to provide the best experience, delicious food for breakfast, at the pool and their own restaurant nearby. This is the perfect place to relax and disconnect, surrounded by lush green, peacefulness, where one can watch little monkeys play and hear birds sing from the heated pool. The suite and bathroom were spacious, beautifully decorated. Nice spa and gym. We loved our stay and will certainly be back!
Excellent service. Great accommodations in the heart of Paraty. The amenities are simple but very good and very well maintained. If going back in Paraty, this is the place to stay!
