Near the Atlantic Forest of Juréia, this house was born in 1981 as a resting retreat for the Hipólito family. The hospitality of always welcoming whoever passed by gradually turned it into an inn.
More than lodging, we are your base for bird watching and nature photography near Juréia. Before breakfast, the forest is already a polyphony. We have already recorded more than 70 species on the property — 30 of them in a single week, using Merlin Bird ID, from the great kiskadee to the green-headed tanager. The eBird hotspot "Peruíbe–Guaraú" adds up to more than 430 species in the region. Tip: download the app before your trip.
Here, nature is not a backdrop — it is the reason for the trip. Around Juréia, waterfalls, trails and beaches invite you to truly slow down. That is why the rooms come without TV or air conditioning: not from lack, but by choice — the invitation is to the silence of the forest.
More than four decades separate the first night this house welcomed a tired traveler from today's inn — but the instinct is the same: to welcome well whoever arrives from afar. In 2026, the house passes into new hands, but what has always brought people here remains the same.
Simple and cozy, with a fan and bed linen — no TV or air conditioning: it is not a lack, it is an invitation to the silence of the forest.

Around the inn, the Atlantic Forest stretches across one of the best-preserved areas of the São Paulo coast — trails, waterfalls and bird watching that attract birdwatchers and nature photographers from all over the country. Around the Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station, nature reveals itself along every path, always accompanied by authorized agencies and guides from the region.
Some trails and waterfalls in the region require prior authorization, are hard to reach, or are only recommended with trained guides. Always confirm access conditions with authorized tourism agencies in the region before planning.
We have already recorded more than 70 species on the property — 30 of them in a single week, with the Merlin Bird ID app, from the great kiskadee to the rare surucuá-de-barriga-amarela. The Balça Boardwalk, one of the spots above, is an official eBird hotspot and crosses three different ecosystems: Atlantic forest, mangrove and restinga.

More than 430 species recorded in the region, with more than 3,200 public checklists submitted by observers. Recent records include saracura-matraca, saracura-três-potes, snail kite (gavião-caracoleiro) and frigatebird (fragata).
The 70+ species above were recorded on the inn's property alone — the 430+ figure is from the Peruíbe–Guaraú hotspot, which covers the wider region.

Near Juréia, 5 km of dirt road from the nearest beach (Guaraú). Rural area — we are not on the beachfront.
See on Google MapsWe are in the middle of the Atlantic Forest — wonderful for nature, and it asks for a little simple preparation on your part.
The region has a lot of biting insects — borrachudos (black flies), mainly at dusk and near the forest. Repellent is essential to enjoy your stay without discomfort.
Long sleeves and light trousers prevent bites and protect from the sun. And prefer light colors: borrachudos are attracted to dark colors, especially navy blue and black.

Elizabeth Larsens via Google Reviews (translated from Portuguese)No. The rooms have a fan and bed linen — it is not a lack, it is a choice: here the invitation is to the silence of the forest and to disconnecting from everyday life.
