Fodor's Expert Review Aratinga Inn
Rua das Flores 232, Ilha Grande, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Fodor's Choice
Cooled by gentle hill breezes and shaded by trees and coconut palms, this peaceful eco-friendly pousada is a short walk from the beachfront and offers comfortable lodgings in elegantly appointed chalets. Lavish breakfasts and afternoon teas can be eaten in the dining room or alfresco, and the owner, Rennie, offers personal attention and a wealth of insider knowledge to all her guests. There’s a lounge with music and DVDs, too, so guests can relax even if the heavens open.
PROS
- lovely, lush gardens home to native animals, butterflies, and birds
- complimentary afternoon teas
- knowledgeable and helpful owner
CONS
- an uphill walk from the pier
- some rooms have no curtains
- it is often booked up well in advance
