I had such a special experience at Villa Paranaguá. My room was incredible, and I spent so much time relaxing there on the balcony taking in the view - also special shout out to the softest mattress ever. Dinner was very tasty, especially the moqueca and chocolate mousse. The service was top notch and the staff are lovely and friendly. I had a gentle and relaxing massage. Breakfast is simple but nice, but the best thing about this hotel is the impeccable interior design - each room has so much character and is so tastefully designed. A tranquil, private oasis in the middle of Gloria / Santa Teresa, such a handy location. I’d love to come back again for longer and use the pool, etc!

We had an outstanding stay. The facilities are beautiful - spacious rooms, lovely pool that is big enough for swimming laps, all set in a delightful garden ambiance. It’s perfectly situated in Santa Theresa, you can easily spend a couple of days walking around this fascinating neighborhood (one of the highlights of our trip). The concierge was very helpful and responsive. Only miss was not being able to have a more traditional Brazilian breakfast and also we were disappointed with the local restaurant recommendation (Aprazivel). Overall we loved it and would definitely return.

When you leave and you cry, you'll know it was outstanding. It has been a year since we visited Villa Paranaguá and it still brings up bittersweet memories. A perfectly serene boutique hotel in the Santa Teresa district, stripped down to the max. You will find everything you need to spend a few blissful days there without having to leave this place. The pool is perfect, the menu is well assorted, the drinks are delicious, the library is inspiring, the interior design is a delight ..., but the heart of this beautiful place is the people who work there and who have grown so dear to us in a few days that we can no longer forget them. I know that one day there will be a return. And then we will celebrate that.
