Visiting Paraty is a cultural treat and staying in Villa 12 makes the cultural experience even more special. The villa is ideally located near Paraty’s main pier and within walking distance from all the shops and restaurants. The villa’s owner is co-founder of one of Brazil’s top interior design agencies and he has ensured it is tastefully decorated with exquisite antique furniture and art.
This elegant villa has ample bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and bright rooms overlooking an internal garden with a pool…this is a rarity in Paraty houses. It is an oasis from which to escape the world and recharge your batteries.
Those who walk past the entrance to Villa 15, will have no idea what a beautiful oasis awaits them beyond the simple blue and white façade. From the outside, the villa´s size is deceptive as you would not imagine it occupies a large part of a block of the historic center of Paraty. It has a sauna and a pool (a rarity in Paraty houses), making it the ideal place to enjoy a rest after a day of sightseeing or simply a lazy day at home.
You can also hire the villa´s very own schooner (at an extra cost) to explore the beautiful islands, bays and beaches around Paraty´s bay. When out on the boat, we suggest you use the villa´s beach facilities on Cotia island.
If you wish to bring a group of friends to a stunning location in a beautiful house, we suggest combining Villa 11 and 14.

Access to the villas can only be made by boat across the beautiful emerald green waters of Paraty´s bay. Once at this paradise location, we suggest you enjoy everything it has to offer, from lazy days on the beach to walks through the villa´s stunning tropical gardens (which boast the ruins of an Imperial Portuguese fort), as well as making use of the sauna. Pizza nights and barbecues in the outdoor eating area are a must.
Villa 14 is a mere 10 minutes by boat from Paraty’s historic centre. It is located on its own private beach and surrounded by lush Atlantic rainforest gardens with stunning views out to the bay of Paraty. The villa is Portuguese colonial in style and tastefully blends modern furniture with antique art.
The villa oozes charm and is an idyllic hideaway from which to immerse yourself in nature. The views out to the bay of Paraty and the surrounding rainforest are simply stunning and if you are feeling active you can swim in the emerald green sea or simply take a walk through the rainforest.
