When the car dropped us off in a little street I was unsure of the location but when we travelled on the super "fast lift" to our room and opened the doors to the balcony we knew we had chosen the right place. And in the morning it just got better breakfast is taken outside on the balcony at the... More

Location: We had no car, we either walked or used the bus. The pousada (little Hotel) is located Between 10 to 15 minutes from the Pelourinho, ups and downs, cobblestones, small or non existent side walks, not a big deal for health and young people, but it was a problem for my 71 years old mother with a weak knee....

This Pousada is very nice. The staff is very friendly. The Pousada is located in the historic centre of Salvador. The neighbourhood requires an iron door that has to be locked all the time. We wanted to do some sightseeing of the historic centre, but that was a party going on. A local couple advised us not to merge in... More

We stayed here after spending 10 days moving up the coast from Rio, and after some of the places we stayed along the way, this was like an oasis in the desert! We had a seaview room which was well worth the extra money, and the terrace was large and lovely. The entire facility is very well done, modern in... More

We spent 2 nights at the Pousada and it thought it was very good. Very close to the Pelorinho (although up and down a couple of steep roads) and very nicely decorated. When we arrived we weren't sure about the location as we arrived at night. The next morning we were happily surprised when we realised that it was very... More

Fantastic posada in the Pelorinho (old town) in Salvador. Stayed here for five days in Feb 2012 and really enjoyed the stay. Staff were all extremely pleasant and helpful. Rooms are great, worth upgrading to a room with a sea view and balcony if you can. Location is about 5 mins walk from the main square (slightly steep hills). Another... More

stayed here for only 2 nights but had a fantastic experience. (one has to stay through a tuesday night) The bay view is very quiet and a great view. Special thanks to Philip at the front desk who was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Visiting Salvador and this place made my trip to Brazil most memorable.
