Very charming place, good service, good food, and the pool area is awesome. Close to the "main street", and far enough from the noise. The rooms are kind of simple (no luxury), but are fairly confortable and clean. We would certainly come back!

We were very much looking forward to staying here, imagining a peaceful refuge. However, it is IMPOSSIBLE tl sit bythe pool, the pool and garden borders a noisy road where lorries and buses pass constantly and because it is on the bend they love to use their hydraulic brakes. Our room -2- was not able to pick up wifi,despite the... More

Coffee without orange juice, tapioca and ice. We were waiting for it (only orange and ice) because they bought outside the hotel. This kind of mistake is not acceptable. I were here one year before and it was wonderful. This time we are facing with much noise made by children. In the beginning this kind of hotel (roteiro do charme)... More

The hotel is very charming, the staff is always keen to help and very friendly. The location is just perfect as its just 5min walk from the village center. We can easily enjoy the quietness of being outside the main tourist attraction and at the same time close enough from the beach and restaurants. One aspect that we really appreciated... More

We were delighted with the Poussada- really a chic boutique hotel, we have stayed in Rio, Recife - Olinda, and Salvador...so seen a few Poussada's! For a short stay it was fantastic, and for a quad room for the children the rate was great, also checked out the Tivoli a 5 star, BR 1300 per night, so BR 350 and... More

I have just been at Refugio da Vila, Praia do Forte in august and it was a perfect chioce. The hotel amenities are beautifully integrated with the green Brazilian nature, using local woods and ideas that although simple, show you that local design is a plus. They keep the bahian style not letting go the comfort. Breakfast is absolutely fantastic,... More

hotel is very nice and the service people as well. The rooms are also nice, but nothing special. On the negative side, it is not relaxing to be sat by the pool - you either have the road next to you, so you have car noise or beeping, alarms etc.. If you don't have that you have loud music from... More

We stayed for 4 nights with our 16 month old toddler upon the recommendation of our friends that live in Brazil. It is a small peaceful hotel with friendly staff. Everything is within walking distance. Breakfast is amazing and included in your stay. Lunch and dinners are off the menu and are quite expensive, so I suggest going into town... More
