I had an absolutely spectacular stay at the lodge! Roque and Patricia are wonderful people; I admire their kindness and work ethic. I not only got to have fun painting and decorated their pousada, but I also had a learning experience that opened my mind to new ideas. I grew as a person during my stay in Paraty. I would definitely recommend the lodge for other travelers, particularly if you like being outside. For me, I enjoyed the fact that most of my work was done independently, but this experience might not be good for people who aren't comfortable without direction. Thank you for everything!

Very nice place to connect with nature, the schedules are respected and Patricia is someone worth talking to, because Mr. Roque is in the hospital (to whom I wish a speedy recovery). I didn't have much contact with the hosts, but I had a great time.

Very grateful to Roque and Patricia for opening their doors to share the beautiful place where they live. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to connect with nature and the incredible nearby places that Paraty has (beaches, trails, etc).
