Located at the heart of historic Paraty, Pousada Literaria is a boutique hotel tucked within a colonial-era home. The inn has served as the official domicile of the International Literary Festival of Paraty (FLIP) since 2012.
Pousada Literaria’s sister property, Fazenda Bananal, is a 445-acres farm located 10 minutes from Paraty by road. There, guests of either property can enjoy cultural and active adventures, as well as the farm-to-table restaurant.
Fazenda Bananal
This family-owned farm dates to the 17th Century. Its structures have been thoughtfully restored in accordance with IPHAN (the Brazilian heritage agency) standards. Fazenda Bananal now operates as a sustainable educational project, with hiking trails, birdwatching, and a farm-to-table restaurant.

The hotel also houses Livraria das Marés, Paraty’s most complete bookstore.
Designed by the award-winning Jacobsen Arquitetura office, the hotel’s restaurant works with the farm-to-table concept, using fresh products received daily from Fazenda Bananal to explore the traditional caiçara cuisine.
