Sandi Hotel and the magic square

To talk about hotel stays is to think about a complete experience.

For this reason, when we talk about the Sandi Hotel (an enterprise with more than 30 years of existence) and its more than 2,000 square meters, it’s essential that we also talk about the Magic Square, made up of gastronomic options such as the Pupus Restaurant , Miracolo Gelato Parlor (with its artisanal gelato inspired by local and Italian flavors) and Apothekario Bar, which features a cocktail drink menu signed by renowned bartender Alê D’Agostino, in addition to an infinity of carefully organized itineraries prepared by Compass Brazil, an exclusive agency that shows the city of Paraty with its natural and architectural beauties from different perspectives.
