Where to start? The rooms are gorgeous, the food amazing, and the ambiance is spectacular. I was lucky enough to have friends recommend this place to me. I promise you that your trip to Le Gite will be an experience you will not soon forget.

We stayed 2 nights here recently. I wanted to experience the rainforest, but boy did it rain.... The owners were away & the acclaimed restaurant was shut. We knew this & had arrangements to eat next door at Pousada Las Bromelias. The room was lovely.Absolutely recommend you book Loft 2. Best position overlooking the falls. The setting is lovely &...

My husband and I were in Paraty for four days, staying in a terrible and overpriced guesthouse, so we were looking for somewhere to get away to. We spent 2 nights at this beautiful jungle retreat and it was unexpected bliss. The owners were really friendly and accommodating. Cottages set under the canopy of trees, lots of flowers, open fire,... More

It was a tremendous surprise to visit and enjoy the Le Gite! A friend told me about this place and we're in Paraty, so we decided to visit it. No doubt, we decided to stay 2 more days in this awesome, quite and passionate hotel. Nature lovers will be amazed with their waterfall. We rent the LOFT2 and it was... More

I had the perfect break I needed. I stayed initially in Paraty historic centre to visit the town and then headed to Olivier & Valeria' Gite for a wonderful relaxing time: swimming at the waterfall, sauna, few lengths at the pool, enourmous delicious breakfast, gourmet lunch and dinner. Easy access to treks to the jungle. The company of Valeria and... More

This place is a kind of romantic rustic refuge, where one can chill out for a pair of days, surrounded by the rain forest, the birds songs and a nice waterfall right below your room. You'll be honored by the owners' and its family's very best vip attention, will have the opportunity to experience great french food with a brazilian... More

Le Gite is a beautiful place to stay if you want to 'get away from it all' for a few days - highly recommended! I travelled by local bus from nearby Parati and walked up the (steep!) hill to the Gite. The friendly welcome from Olivier, his wife and their dog, Naomi was much appreciated! I stayed in 'Suite 1'... More

This place is in the middle of nowhere - which is both a positive and a negative point. You feel in the middle of the jungle, which is exactly what you are, but it takes a long time to get there from Paraty - if you don't have a car, a taxi will be around 80RS, and there's not lots... More

This is an absolutely beautiful place! But be aware that it is rather remote and rustic. The location is amazing. Lush and beautiful. Plus, they serve amazing food -- we had the BEST caipirinhas here, with fruit grown on the property, as well as a breakfast made for a king!! And for dinner, the best mocqueca ever. What a treat,...
