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

This resort is locating in an out of the way little fishing village and it very relaxing and peaceful-a great place to escape reality. The rooms are small and basic but clean with a hammock on the patio. The breakfast that is included was very good but the dinners were less extravagant than advertised but still ok. The pool area... more

My wife and I arrived at Pousada Picinguaba to spend the last four days of a mini tour of Brazil. I am having some difficulty writing this review because the circumstances of our arrival rather soured what ought to have been a much better experience, but I hope I am being fair to the place. The earlier parts of our... more

I loved the place, really But the credit must go to Picinguaba (i.e the village and surroundings) not to the hotel, even if the staff is very nice. I liked the concept of basic comfort, no TV, radio or telephone (careful: no GSM or edge coverage for blackberries) in order to better enjoy and care for the nature. But being... more

We had a group of 10 (including 4 kids) stay at Pousada Picinguaba for four nights in March 2008. Personally, I think this place is amazing but don't expect the Four Seasons. To start, the site is beautiful. The views, gardens, and atmosphere make this place great. The rooms are small and simple but nice. The lack of air conditioning... more

Very good marketing I reckon....absolutely overrated and do not deserve by any means to be among top hotels in brazil....Owners very incompetent & pretentious....A lot of first time customers never going back when they discover what they got for what they paid...Really hope this owner moves out soon and decent people buy him out...Picinguaba & Brazil are indeed stunning and... more

I’ve stayed at the Pousada Picinguaba five times in less than four years and I can’t wait to go back for the sixth visit! Returning to Picinguaba is like meeting up with an old friend again, picking up and carrying on from where you last left off and hoping that in the meantime nothing has changed. I’ve found just the... more
