When Paula returned to Brazil, her family decided that their house was so big that they should tconvert it into a Bed & Breakfast for her to manage. Since 1995, she has been working hard to make guests feel comfortable and welcome at  Recanto das Palmeiras.

Paula loves to take care of special details and enjoys tending the garden and preparing delicious homemade cakes and breads for breakfast. She is always available to talk to the guests and suggest what to do, eat and see in this paradise.
