–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small scale, intimate setting — With only 8 rooms, the pousada may feel limited if you're looking for large resort facilities or on-site entertainment beyond the restaurant and bar.
- Location is remote by design — Picinguaba is a small fishing village, so you'll need a car or local transport to reach the wider beaches and towns like Paraty or Ubatuba.
- Check-in window is defined — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:59, so if you arrive late or early, you'll need to plan accordingly.
- Value rating is solid but not top — While the overall rating is high (8.6), the Value category sits at 8.3, suggesting some guests feel the price is on the higher side for the experience.
