About

Recanto Das Andorinhas Studios

Recanto Das Andorinhas Studios sits in the Cabore area of Paraty, within walking distance of the Perequê-Açu river and about a 25-minute walk from Chapel of Saint Rita. The property is a small, 4-star pousada-style hotel with just two room types: a Duplex Studio and a Chalet that sleeps up to four.

The grounds are the real draw, guests say — a leafy garden with an outdoor pool, sun loungers, and a spa centre offering massages. There's also a restaurant on site, where a buffet breakfast is served each morning and pizza nights are a recurring highlight.

Rooms come with air conditioning, a mini-bar, and a patio or garden furniture in some units. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, and the hotel offers a paid airport shuttle and tour/ticket help. Pets are welcome, which is a plus for travellers with dogs.

With 437 guest reviews, the hotel earns an 8.2 rating. Staff and comfort are the strongest points (9.0 and 9.8 respectively), while value and service categories lag slightly at 7.9. It's not a luxury resort — it's a well-run, friendly base for exploring Paraty.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Comfort is top-notch — Guests consistently rate comfort exceptionally high, with a category score of 9.8 — the highest of all metrics.
  • Staff go the extra mile — The staff receive a 9.0 rating, and every reviewed guest mentions friendly, helpful, and efficient service.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Value is average for the area — The value score sits at 7.9 while the area average is 8.7, suggesting some guests feel the price is a touch high for what's offered.
  • Service could be more consistent — Service and general ratings are 7.9, a notch below the property's overall 8.2 — a signal that experiences can vary.
  • A walk to the historic centre — The Chapel of Saint Rita is about a 25-minute walk, so guests who prefer being in the heart of the old town may find the distance a drawback.
  • Small, limited property — With only two room types and a modest scale, the hotel lacks the variety and extras of larger resorts — no gym, no multiple pools.
