Fernanda was an amazing host! She gave great advice and helped us arrange activities around the island as well as transfers to/from the mainland and put on a great breakfast. The room was simple but clean, had a great view (the hammock was so nice) and was very comfy. Great location too.

Stunning room and view. Super clean. Amazing breakfast and could rent snorkels / arrange boat trips easily.

This was the perfect property to relax and enjoy the island! It felt like home away from home and Fernanda is the loveliest host!

“Fernanda was a wonderful host! We loved the breakfast and all the great recommendations she gave us.”

The the location and hosts.

We had a wonderful stay at Fernanda’s place. The accommodation was simply amazing! The room had air conditioning, which cooled it down very well – especially in the mornings and evenings, the temperature was perfect. The view from the balcony overlooking the sea was stunning, and the hammock was extremely comfortable and the perfect spot to relax. Fernanda cleaned the room every day, which we really appreciated. The breakfast was outstanding: every day Fernanda baked different cakes, all of them incredibly delicious. She also added variety to the breakfast, so it never felt repetitive. The breakfast was delicious and offered a great selection. Fernanda also gave us excellent tips and helped us book the ferry. Overall, it was a truly worry-free stay – everything was just perfect. Highly recommended!

Fernanda was a great host! She was so friendly and made a great breakfast, every day a bit different. But it always included a lot of fruits. She also helped me finding the right transfer to the beach in advance. The room was lovely, and had a nice terrace with a hammock from which I could watch the sea and the boats. The pier and the beach are a 5-10 minute walk away. Close to the house there are a lot of restaurants and some little shops.

Really beautifully located Pousada with a lovely view of the bay. Fernanda was the perfect host; friendly and helpful and made the place very special. The breakfast was also really delicious.

“Exceptional stay- Pure paradise in Aracatiba”

Our stay with Fernanda was absolutely perfect – truly a 10/10 experience! The room has an incredible view of the jungle, the sea, and the mountains across the bay – it honestly felt like waking up in paradise every morning. Fernanda welcomed us personally at the pier and was always available via WhatsApp, offering amazing tips for activities and local spots. But what made this place truly special was the warm, family-like atmosphere. Fernanda is such a special person – every day she prepared something new and homemade for breakfast, often using ingredients from her own garden. The breakfast was made with so much love and care – and it was delicious! There are only two rooms in the pousada, which makes the stay feel very personal and peaceful. Everything was spotless: Fernanda cleaned the rooms daily, changed our towels three times during our 5-day stay, and even made up our bed with fresh sheets after just two days. You can really see how much she values hygiene and individual care for her guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a beautiful, authentic, and lovingly run place to stay in Aracatiba – this is it! 🌿💛

Fernanda was an amazing host and we really loved our stay! She was very helpful and answered all our questions, both before and during our stay. She served a great breakfast buffet and even made us extra special Brazilian Easter dishes. The room was great and had the most amazing view and a very good location. Would love to go back one day!

“Perfect”

Even before I had arrived on Ilha Grande, Fernanda would always help me out with any questions I had regarding the island, with the boats and tours etc. She picked me up from the pier and from the first second on I felt happy - the room was filled with light and had an amazing view from the balcony with the hammock. It was very clean and towels etc were provides, which were changed on a regular basis! :) And: the breakfast - oh it was fabulous. There was fresh fruit, cakes, scrambled eggs, coffee, freshly squeezed juices, different kinds of bread, jam, cream cheese, butter, good coffee, joghurt and cereals - she even made me tapioca on the last day (delicious!). It was always enough to keep me full until dinner (food is very expensive on the island!). Thank you, Fernanda, you were an amazing host :)

We loved our stay at Encanto do pai and Aracatiba. Fernanda is a great host, you really feel at home in her suite. She is full of kindness and good recommendation to visit this part of the island and the beaches all around. It is recommended to talk with her prior to reserve (be careful not to book at Abrao that is 1h far by boat and 400 rls). Rooms have charming view to the sea and to the forest at the back. Breakfast have fresh fruit and home made cake every day. Aracatiba is a quiet and charming fisherman village of ilha grande , ideal to relax and take good time. Fernanda helped us to organize then a boat transfer directly to Paraty that was a pleasant option to stop in the paraty islands. Best restaurants tried : Seafood, Conves and Villa ara.

“Simple and clean accomodation in Ilha Grande”

Owners were welcoming and helpful (for comunication we used Google translator). Comfy hammock in the terrace. Generally the accomodation is simple but you have all you need. The cleanliness was very good. Nice option was bar in room fridge for very good prices.

lovely staff and amazing view. value for money and nice breakfast.

“Sunsets and hummingbirds”

We loved our stay here - Fernanda is such a kind and helpful host, and her breakfasts are delicious! She helped us with getting to Araçatiba (we got the cheaper local boat for R$40, called the barco Jean Filho on Cais dos Pescadores in Angra) and then planning our hikes around the island. She was also very patient with communicating with us via google translate! We loved chatting to her in the mornings, watching the hummingbirds in the garden and sunsets from the balcony. The bread fruit was a thoughtful addition to breakfast (we asked Wesley about the tree and it appeared at breakfast the next morning). It was great having the fridge in the room (fyi food on the island is pricey - we did a food shop in Angra before getting the boat). Obrigada Fernanda e Wesley!
