Casa Turquesa is one of our favorite boutique hotels in the historic port of Paraty, Brazil. Located in front of the pier, Casa Turquesa occupies a restored mansion dating to the 18th century.
Turquoise, a favorite color of owner Tete Etrusco, evokes Paraty’s sky and sea. The color is a leitmotif of the hotel, subtly appearing in its textiles, pool, and in original artwork by Tiacho Baenninger.
Amenities
Casa Turquesa features a living room, a boutique, and a library. Outside, the patio is surrounded by a palm-shaded garden with orchids, a hyrdomassage pool, bar, and gazebo.
Guests at Casa Turquesa receive a pair of customized Havaianas as a gift upon arrival.

Casa Turquesa has nine suites furnished with either one queen-size bed or a king-size bed. In room amenities include high pressure showers, hairdryer, air conditioning, ceiling fan, TV, safety box, minibar, Wi-Fi, beach baskets, electric kettle, beach hats, umbrellas, and bathrobes.
