Casa à beira-mar - lindo lugar

It was an amazing house in an amazing place. Fabiola is a very professional and attentive host . The organisation was perfect . No mistake. All the staff , especially Adriana and Roberta were very reactive. I experienced a medical problem and Roberta was hyper reactive . Congratulations to all !!!! Thanks Fabiola for this house . Probably one of our best stay ! We will come again with pleasure.

My girlfriend and I had the privilege of having Casa Cairucu all to ourselves but there was plenty of room for three couples or more. The house is well equipped with a bbq, books, snorkelling and kayaking gear, stand up paddle boards etc. The house comes with a maid who cooks delicious local cuisine and keeps the very tastefully decorated house immaculate. Harry, a local guide and friend of the owners, is also on hand to provide any information you may need. We spent most of our time reading in the hammocks or kayaking around the local area. We were luck enough to spot dolphins, golden tamarin monkeys, capuchins and many other interesting animals. I particularly recommend a walk or kayak to one of the local beaches (40 mins) Praia Vermelha which is pretty much deserted in the mornings and you really feel like you are on a desert island.

We had a great time at Casa Cairucu – the house is amazing and in an incredible location, the best place we stayed in South America. Harry the guide was very helpful, Luis the boatman was friendly and his wife Adriana who is the housekeeper and cook was excellent – she is an excellent cook and we enjoyed eating everything she prepared.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Cairucu. The views are amazing and the rooms beautiful. The staff (Harry, Adriana and Luis) made our stay very pleasant and comfortable. Adriana is an excellent cook! Simon and Fabiola made sure that we were well informed on what to expect, to see, to do etc. This has been our second visit to Casa Cairucu and certainly not our last!! The beaches are great and there are loads to do in the area. We highly recommend anyone to go and explore this hidden gem in paradise.

Dear Simon, Fabiola: We left Casa Cairucu yesterday after spending 11 wonderful days there. We really enjoyed the house and all the surrounding activities. Praia Vermelha was one of the best; seeing monkeys, sting rays, turtles, large iguanas, many fish and birds was definitly another highlight. Adriana was of great help as well as all the info you guys put in the memo you sent us. My wife and Kids love the place and we were all able to disconnect from the world for a few days and really spend some quality time together. Congrats for your wonderful house in Ponta Grossa. We will recommend it to our friends in Chile. We hope to come back ourselves in the future. All the best from the Varela family, Raimundo, Carolina, Fernanda, Sofia, Camila and Pedro

We recently stayed at Casa Cairucu - 4 adults & 4 children. The house is lovely and very well equipped, and ideally suited for adults and children alike. Great for both relaxing as well as for exploring the area. Either relax in a hammock and read a book (plenty available at the house), make the most of the kayaks that come with the house (I managed to take 3 of my children in one kayak!) or hire a boat and visit some lovely nearby beaches. It's a short walk / kayak to a nearby restaurant, or you can take a boat into Paraty if you require more comprehensive lunch & dinner options. At night enjoy the silence and each other's company, or watch a DVD.

We took the owner’s advice and walked to the beach located 40 minutes away; we were suitably thirsty by the time we got there (carrying a toddler in that heat is no small feat!) and loved our lunch at the baracca. We also visited beautiful Paraty and generally lazed around on the nearby beaches, in the hammocks, and within close proximity to the much-needed fans! At one point an impressive thunderstorm helped clear the air although it’s worth my mentioning that as this is an eco-house, there is no air conditioning, which can be a little exhausting in the intense humidity and heat. I can happily say it didn’t keep us awake, though, and there’s always the sea to take a dip in during the day. Harry (our meeter-and-greeter) was great, very helpful, and Adriana (our cook) was fantastic, very sweet and discreet; we’d barely notice her being there until a yummy lunch was served! I’m relieved to say that on no occasion did I stumble across a large, hairy spider!

We stayed at Casa Cairucu for 4 nights in April 2014. What a paradise, especially for our early-teenage children! They quickly voted it the champagne moment of our excellent South American holiday. The house is a dream, the outlook restful, the sea temperature was exactly right, the watersports were varied and catered for all ages (12 to 77). The 'life support system' - Harry, Adriana and Flavio - ensured that everything ran smoothly and helped make our stay carefree and memorable. Paraty was a delightful surprise, too. Our thanks to the owners for letting us into their idyllic secret.

My friends and I stayed for just short of a week at Casa Cairucu. Words simply cannot do this house justice. I'm a professional videographer so I maybe my photos can! It's incredible and not just the beautiful location and the house but also the fantastic service, Harry our guide has a superb knowledge of the area, he is also extremely friendly and a true gentleman. The boat transfer in had to have been the nicest transfer I've ever had, the views are just beautiful. While I was staying at Casa Cairucu, I could really tell no expensive has been spared when it comes to ensuring the look and comfort of the house. All the bedrooms had fantastic views and my shower even had a great view! The beds were very comfortable too. On a arrival we took a look inside the equipment cupboard to find everything we would need to explore the area, torches, snorkelling gear, and kayaks. We had so much fun staying here, it was the perfect getaway haven for me to enjoy with my good friends. Its hard to pick a favourite part of the stay, I saw wild monkeys on the near by island, swam at night in the warm crystal water, swam with fish and turtles, I woke up to beautiful landscapes every morning.. it was all super! If you're thinking about coming here and I can only say one thing do it! I'll certainly be coming back!
