Our honeymoon in Brazil started with arrival in Sao Paulo and a car trip to Picinguaba. We were captivated by the place, a sleepy little town to say the least... but we felt like part of the community almost immediately. The staff was so courteous and seemed solely focused on ensuring you had a good time. We stayed in the... more

I am not normally the type of person that writes a critique on a hotel or regularly seeks advice from this type of holiday review website. However, having stayed at Pousada Picinguaba and then read the misleading reviews that people have given, I felt compelled to set the record straight. My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 5... more

We stayed 4 nights at the Pousada Picinguaba. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, with deserted beaches, Atlantic rainforest and small islands dotted aorund the bay. The hotel itself is small with only 10 rooms and the staff are friendly, welcoming and really helpful. Having read some of the previous reviews before we went I was a bit worried about... more

We stayed here for 5 days at the beginning of November to chill out at the end of a hectic birdwatching tour in Brazil. First impressions - the steep walk up to the hotel is okay when you're strolling back from the beach, but was a bit of a struggle when we arrived at 02:30 from the Pantanal via Sao... more

What a disappointing hotel stay. We agree with the other reviewers that what you see on the website is not what you get when you arrive at Picinguaba. The service was good, but the rooms were small , dirty and there was no air conditioning, and the bathrooms were very very very small.... more

Right, I did stay in Pousada Picinguaba it was recommended to be by the owner of our hotel in Rio. We were on honeymoon and travelled 4 hours to get there by car and I'd have to say while it is in the most beautiful part of the world I'd ever seen and the people of the village of Picinguaba... more

Our 6 days stay at Pousada Picinguaba was the best of what we have experienced during our 3 weeks trip in Brazil, Back in Paris, we are missing this delightful mix of nature that we have enjoyed at Picinguaba : - Colors, sounds and richness of the rainforest - sunset from fazenda beach - sunrise at 5.30 AM from a... more

We booked this hotel after reading great reviews and in most ways were not disappointed. The deal was half board and included airport transfers - 4 hours from Rio - although we did a deal through the hotel for a tour guide we met in Rio to do the transfer and that was much better from a sight-seeing point of... more

Six of us stayed here for seven days. My husband and I know Brazil well, but for our travelling companions it was their first visit to the country. We were all bowled over by the beauty of Picinguaba, the warmth of the staff, the comfort, and the food. Our trips out on the schooner, trekking in the rain forest, to... more
