This place is a quiet little piece of paradise. It is set in the most beautiful gardens,a few feet from a little beach which is at its best first thing in the morning and last thing at night (it can get busy at weekends and school holiday season). It was a perfectly relaxed and family friendly environment. The breakfasts were full of choice and self service which we enjoyed and on relaxed evenings you can enjoy a simple well cooked supper here too. The rooms are basic but you spend so little time there it really doesn't matter. Its just a fabulous chilled and friendly experience.The setting of this hotel is superb and the peace just wonderful, sitting in the beautiful gardens with the sounds of the birds, frogs and nature, whilst lazing in your hammock reading a good book is the icing on the cake.

The rooms are simple, but everything works and is clean. as you spend so little time in the rooms its not a problem. The beach is one of the closest beaches in walking distance to the main town so it can fill up on some days so cant be described as a deserted beach, however you can get a boat to other beaches if required

As a gardener, I could not resist this special place, designed by a landscape designer, for my first stay in the Atlantic rainforest. The beautiful grounds give way to total nature in steps. It was quiet and comfortable, a true getaway from it all but easy to reach town in minutes by boat. The walk to Abraao is worth doing once, but make use of the convenient boat to reach the more impressive hiking paths on the island. We enjoyed listening to the frogs and birds—watch out for hummingbirds and bright blue butterflies. The breakfast and dinner was fantastic.

If you're looking for paradise, you've got to go to O Sitio. The location is already unique, in the middle of nature, directly on the beach, it's a haven of peace. Then the staff are incredible, and I'd like to thank them again for their kindness, because with them anything is possible! The breakfast is perfect, everything is fresh In short, I can't recommend this place highly enough, and all I want to do is go back.

I didn't like having to leave!

The setting, beautifully landscaped and surrounded by nature. A true paradise. The private beach with facilities including kayak and paddle board. Bed is really comfortable! Staff were a pleasure to interact with, always willing to support with tours and other activities. They helped us organise a late night transfer which was a huge help after a long flight!

Nothing, it was wonderful.

Incredible place in the middle of nature! this pousada is very well designed especially the main area and landscape around. The staff was very kind helping us discovering the island, especially Cami who took care of us everyday! We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a peaceful place, close to nature and the beach!

O Sitio is simply wonderful. The beauty of the lush garden leading you down to a wonderful little private beach with a couple of nearby restaurants, the friendly staff going above and beyond, the amazing owners —it’s all unmatched. It’s hard to capture how beautiful this boutique hotel is with photos, you’ll just have to go visit. We can’t wait to go back.

It's the perfect place to chill, relax or have an adventure on Ilha Grande. First I have to mention the staff and the owners. This place is run with a big heart and in good taste. We felt more like best friends than customers. The staff help you every day, organize trips, explain the island and advise what to eat. It was a real pleasure to spend time with these people. The hotel is perfectly located. Close to the main city from which many trips can be made. The place is cozy and not crowded. It has access to the beach with private equipment such as umbrellas, chairs, kayak, sup and more. On the beach there is also very nice staff who can bring something to eat and drink, and also help with water equipment. Our room was basic but very comfortable, clean and with a really big bed. The bathroom has good quality cosmetics for daily use. We didn't have comfortable garden furniture (only two hard chairs) but enjoyed spending time in the common area with lots of nice furniture to chill in (hammocks and sofas). The hotel has a small restaurant that prepares a rich and tasty breakfast. You can also have lunch or dinner there. Also in the neighborhood is a great restaurant with very tasty food. Finally, about the garden, it is beautiful and well-kept. The hotel is located directly in the forest and the garden is part of it. He is very well prepared to spend a nice time and not artificial.

Breath taking property run like a family business. Room are really well furnished, super cozy and most importantly very clean and not humid. We have stayed in 2 places on the island and OSitio definitely has exceeded our expectations. There is a beach with umbrellas and sun beds with all beach equipment (incl. canoe, SUP). Breakfast and dinner are simply delicious. Especially dinner’s dishes are even better than many restaurants we tried.

Nothing really. We were even stuck in Aabrao in the evening with lot of rain and they came and pick us up with the boat.

The most stunning location to stay in. The gardens are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Right on a beautiful beach, which has a few bars and restaurants on, just round the bay from Abraão, which you can taxi boat too. Or a half an hour walk through the jungle, although I wouldn’t do this u less your prepared. Its a much nicer beach than the one in Abraão. The staff are so amazing and accommodating, you can whatsapp them any thing. particularly loved Amanda, she made us feel so welcome and special. Amazing beac service, food and drinks brought to you when ever you want. Breakfast buffet every morning, can eat dinner with them also if you choose. It really felt like true Paradise and relaxation!! I would recommend to everyone visiting Ilha Grande.

not a negative, just want to warn you to bring cash to the island as there is no cash point and you cannot get taxi boats without cash.

This is such a special place. The gardens and the beach are an absolute oasis- we spent the whole week gazing around in awe. The room and bathroom were very comfortable and we loved waking up to the view of the trees every morning. Service was exceptional! Both of the managers were incredibly warm and welcoming, going above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay and the attention to detail and thought was impeccable - we felt like anything that we could need or want was anticipated and provided without even mentioning it. The breakfast was the best! Beautifully laid out every morning with the most delicious fresh fruit, bread, cheese and meat, and the ladies in the kitchen made phenomenal cakes and eggs in any way you requested. And we have to mention Amanda’s caipirinhas, which were the best we’ve ever had! 😉 Thank you, O’Sitio, for the most wonderful and unforgettable stay!
