It is recommended to allow between 30 and 45 minutes to explore the house and its surroundings at a relaxed pace. It is a compact site, ideal for a quick stop on your Búzios itinerary. Pair it with a walk along the beach to extend the experience.

Built around 1740, it is one of the oldest colonial houses in Búzios and represents the region’s Portuguese fishing heritage. It served as a shelter for fishermen and today preserves historical artifacts that tell the story of the town’s evolution. Its horseshoe-shaped architecture gives it its distinctive name.

Sunset is ideal for enjoying spectacular sea views, while the dry season from May to October offers better weather with less rain. Avoid summer midday hours because of the intense heat.

The main entrance has some uneven steps, so it is not fully accessible for wheelchairs. It is recommended to contact the Búzios town hall at +55 22 2633-6226 for alternative options or assistance. There are nearby flat paths to enjoy the surroundings.

Just a few minutes away is Ferradura Beach, perfect for swimming, and the lively Rua das Pedras with shops and restaurants. Do not miss the Brigitte Bardot statue on the Bardot Waterfront, a 10-minute drive away. Explore more at TripAdvisor Búzios.

Bring mosquito repellent, sunscreen, and water, since it is close to the beach. Wear comfortable shoes for the cobbled paths and visit early to avoid crowds. Pair your visit with lunch at local seafood restaurants for a complete experience.
