Pousada dos Anjos  

Nestled in cool mountain peaks between São Paulo and Rio, Pousada dos Anjos sits just outside Cunha—about 8–12 km from town—and roughly 33 km from Parati, with direct access to the Old Gold Trail, the Paraibuna River and nearby beaches and islands.

This historic guest house occupies some 36 hectares (about 89 acres) of gardens, woodland, ponds and pastures, blending rustic charm with curated art and personalized rooms. Accommodations range from chalets and suites to a self-catering Historic House, many with mini-bars, coffee makers, solar heating and balconies or private outdoor space; chalets add mini kitchens, air conditioning and large TVs.

Soak in a natural swimming pool with rock cascade or an outdoor pool, sweat in a wood-fired sauna (deck access available), book a massage, browse the Oca library and catch bonfire points and forest trails across the estate—plus a tour desk, transfer service, laundry and free on-site parking. Expect river-and-forest mornings and easy walking to waterfalls, trails and scenic viewpoints.

Wi‑Fi internet and open parking are available at no extra cost, and the Oca outhouse doubles as a meeting, exhibition and group-practice space for events or workshops; concierge and transfer assistance can be arranged.

Wake up to a generous buffet‑cum‑brunch of healthy, organic ingredients served late morning (included in some rates or available for purchase). An on-site restaurant and bar offer local cuisine, snacks, soups and drinks on request to keep things simple and seasonal.
