“Warm welcoming staff and delicious breakfast”

We stayed at Aratinga Inn for five nights and had a truly memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome — everyone was warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive throughout our stay. One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast. It was so good that we found ourselves coming back every day for tea time just to enjoy their delicious homemade cakes. The inn also has a lovely common area where you can relax, read, or watch something, which added to the cozy and peaceful atmosphere. The property itself is beautiful. The garden is spectacular and a joy to spend time in, and the presence of their adorable cats made the stay feel even more special. It’s the kind of place where you can truly slow down and enjoy your surroundings. We also really appreciated the thoughtful extras — they provide beach towels, umbrellas, and even a well-prepared information package about the island, along with tour options. These small details made a big difference and showed how much they care about their guests’ experience.

“Beautiful little Pousada in Abraão”

Beautiful little Pousada in Abraão! The room is very comfortable, the breakfast fresh and good variety, served by really lovely ladies and the owner a very nice gentleman who has pride on his property. He genuinely wanted us to feel welcome and have a good time. The garden is very well maintained and the little details around the property are nicely done.

“Garden guesthouse”

It is in a quiet garden setting, and each room has a hammock so you can relax there. The staff are very welcoming and helped me book some trips and a massage during my time on the island. The afternoon tea is a nice treat

“Cute inn with friendly staff”

The staff were really friendly and the inn felt very private and secluded while being really close to the beach and restaurants. Good breakfast spread. They organised a tour to the Paradise Islands while we were there so that was really handy.

“Warm and welcoming home from home”

Bea and Sergio were wonderful hosts: warm, helpful and friendly. The family-run Aratinga Inn feels like a home from home. The peaceful location was a welcome walk away from the bustle of the town. Lush gardens at the entrance gave way to charming and comfortable accommodation with a much needed patio for drying clothes after long hikes and swims. And the breakfasts and afternoon treats were delicious! Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay. Looking forward to my next visit. :)

“Yasi and Antonia were super helpful and welcoming. The place is beautiful, perfect to relax and recharge.”

It was beautiful, very close to the center but far enough to seems like a secret gateway

“The most beautiful stay in the most stunning location hosted by the sweetest staff!”

It’s immersed in the green, felt like a little oasis away from the business of the town. The greenery, the sounds of nature, the monkeys playing on our roof! AMAZING!

The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The cabin was cosy and the bed was super comfortable. Breakfast was also good.

“Really enjoyed our stay here”

Lovely peaceful setting. Especially liked the afternoon tea and the hammock.

Friendly staff, location, service, comfortable room and great breakfast/afternoon tea.

“Perfect!”

Quiet, clean, breakfast

“Great place to stay and enjoy the island!”

Highly recommend Aratinga Inn! The staff is really lovely and helpful not to mention the outstanding breakfast and afternoon cake. We received snorkles and beach towels too which was really handy. Location wise you only need a couple of minutes to get to the center so no problem.

“Marvellous”

Everything! Location, breakfast, lovely room, cleanliness, etc….but most of all the kindness and friendliness of the owner and staff who couldn’t do enough for us and made our stay a truly memorable one. Thank you! And thank you for arranging our transfer to Rio for us - it went very smoothly!

“Most friendly staff ever!”

1.) Staff were absolutely exceptional and it felt like we was part of a family rather than being in a "professional" hotel which was really nice and they were all super friendly. One of them had a really good passion for music and played the piano and guitar for me and my mum which was really amazing to see! 2.) The breakfast was absolutely amazing and the tea timed between 4pm-6pm included in the price was well timed and gave a boost to the end of the day. Their homemade cakes was amazing (as a Type 1 diabetic it was a challenge to keep my blood sugar under control as to how amazing it was). Staff was very friendly and talkative so even if was on your own, you wouldn't feel alone. 3.) I was able to was my dirty clothes which accumulated over the last week for only 30 reals / kg which is far cheaper than a hotel!! 4.) Staff at reception was very helpful and was able to give us lots of ideas of what to do on the island and Ilha Grande is such a nice place for nature and boat trips. 5.) Facilities are basic however it is a very nice place to stay and very well looked after. There even is a nice hammock outside you can rest / sleep in.
