OK, first of all it is a very historic place including the streets outside. The staff and facilities are very good. I liked eating off the imported China. The staff is great. What I did not like is that the rooms have thin walls and you can hear your neighbors doing "everything" including farting. The streets are made of stones that are uneven and unsafe for walking and they smelled bad.

Beautifully decorated and kept inn right in Paraty's historic centre. Absolutely pristine in terms of cleanliness - I've never been in a hotel so clean. The staff of women are incredible - warm and kind and helpful. I don't speak Portuguese, except for the owner they don't much English, but they were so ready to help me and to provide recommendations. Great breakfast and again the lovely lady making breakfast wrote out the names of Brazilian foods I didn't know. The room was beautifully decorated in keeping with the feel of the historic building. The bed was very comfortable with lovely soft sheets, all the amenities you need. Loved the hammock on the balcony. There's a nice little swimming pool at the back to dip in on a hot day and a bar if you need refreshment.
It's in a great location in the historic centre, easily walkable to everywhere you'd want to see in Paraty, but on quite a quiet street so it is nice and calm. Very close to the little port for boat trips and on the same street as the cultural centre and right next to the little theatre. Lots of cafes, shops and restaurants within minutes of walking.
I would highly recommend staying here.

The staff at this hotel are lovely and the breakfast is amazing. It’s spotlessly clean and very quiet. The Juliana room has a comfortable bed and lovely views and I never saw a single mosquito but there are narrow internal spiral stairs to navigate which are tricky with luggage or if you have limited mobility. The staff do help carry luggage. As a solo traveler I cannot give a high score for the location though as it is a little deserted at night and the road naturally floods during the day when the tide is high. Twice this meant I could not go far from the hotel without wading through water.

Muito boa, incrivel o antendimento. O banheiro apenas eh um pouco precario, teto historico, por isso teto muito baixo, chega ser desconfortavel. Muitas escadas ingremes. Porem, cafe da manha muito bom e cama boa

Incrível
Minha experiência na pousada Arte Urquijo foi incrível. A pousada é muito bem localizada, o café da manhã em frente à piscina é maravilhoso, todo servido numa louça lindíssima. À tarde ainda é servido um cafezinho com bolo. As funcionárias Angélica, Kessinha, Marinete e Rafaela são uns amores, me ajudaram com tudo, desde indicação de agência para passeios a toalhas para levar nos passeios e pedido de táxi (só pedi táxi pq estava com malas pesadas, mas a pousada é bem perto da rodoviária). Foi tudo ótimo e quando voltar a Paraty pretendo ficar lá novamente.

This Pousada was incredibly uniqe in terms of the decorations, room layouts and staff. Each room had a unique feature ie hammocks that couild be used outside it on a private porch with a beautiful view of the bay. The proximity to the water was a plus in the historic district as well as the short walking distances to the many restaurants and sites that Paraty has to offer. We cannot say enough about the staff, how kind and willing they all were to meet our every need. The phenomenal breakfast served is beyond description! Need more be said? Would definitely stay again!

Excellent emplacement dans le centre historique.
Pas le confort d’un 5 étoiles, mais endroit plein de charme.
Beaucoup de marchés étroites à monter pour accéder aux chambres.
Le personnel parle uniquement Portugais.
Donc, se munir d’une application de traduction.
Très bon petit déjeuner.

Hotel muito aconchegante, péssimo estacionamento.
O pessoal que atende a pousada foi muito atencioso e fez de tudo para tornar nossa estadia agradável.
O ponto negativo é a falta de estacionamento. O carro tem que ficar na rua, sem nenhum tipo de proteção ou garantia. Além disso, o local sugerido para estacionar é próximo ao cais e, dependendo da maré, as ruas inundam. Um perigo.

Sehr schöne und spezielle Unterkunft im historischen Zentrum. Das Haus hat historischen Wert, unser Zimmer und Badezimmer war eher klein, für eine Nacht aber überhaupt kein Problem. Das Haus ist beschmückt mit Bilder der Besitzerin, sehr schön. Wir würden diese Pausada wieder buchen.

Pousada nota 10 para uma cidade inesquecível
Excelente estadia com todo conforto e amabilidade das colaboradoras em especial a Marinete que nos auxiliou com dicas imperdíveis, além de seu café com biscoitos da tarde. Único ponto que poderia ser melhorado é a colocação de ducha higiênica no banheiro. Recomendo demais a pousada. Vamos voltar.

Great place to stay in the centre of Paraty. The owners and staff are welcoming. The place is clean, comfortable and safe. The views from the bedroom were great
