The Green Refuge The Green Refuge is a home with soul — a peaceful place, full of greenery and care, located just 5 minutes from Expoville and 12 minutes from downtown Joinville. Our accommodation is completely independent, with a private entrance, and offers everything you need for a cozy and comfortable stay. The house hosts up to 5 guests in three beds (queen, double, and single), and features a heater, fan, fully equipped kitchen, a space for remote work, clean bed linens and towels, plus basic cooking essentials and spices. Outside, the garden is home to free-roaming chickens, trees, and a deck lit with string lights that feels magical at night. We also offer a firepit ready for use, with wood and fire starter available — perfect for warming your feet or sharing a good conversation under the stars. Although check-in is autonomous, we live upstairs and are always available to assist with anything you may need. The Refuge is ideal for travelers attending events, working remotely, or simply seeking rest surrounded by nature and a slower pace of life.

We are Ruth and Fernanda, two enthusiasts of simple living, close contact with nature, and the art of heartfelt hospitality. We created Refúgio Verde with great care as an extension of our home — a space that welcomes, soothes, and invites you to reconnect with the natural world. We love firepits, chickens roaming freely in the yard, fresh morning coffee, and long conversations under the stars. Every detail here has been thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and lightness — from the soft bedding to the little spices in the kitchen. We live upstairs and are available to help with anything you may need — while always respecting your privacy. You're warmly welcome at Refúgio Verde. We hope you feel at home and bloom here.
