Casa Turquesa

Casa Turquesa is an intimate, artful retreat tucked into Paraty’s historic waterfront. Set in a lovingly restored 18th-century mansion overlooking the docks, the nine-suite inn reflects owner Tetê Etrusco’s warm and nomadic spirit. Architect Renato Tavolaro oversaw the faithful revival of the colonial façade, while interiors—led by serene turquoise tones—blend handcrafted furnishings and original artworks by Tiacho Baenninger and others. The result feels less like a hotel and more like a welcoming home infused with personality and calm.
