We had an excellent stay at this pousada. Given that it is located on the other side of the river from the main town, we were greeted by Michael after our arrival by bus and whisked off on a small speedboat journey to our destination - a great introduction! Michael was very helpful in arranging our trips (both in the... More

Just confirming everything that was said previously...the place is beautiful, relaxing; the rooms are very charming and the food Josiane cooks is (almost) the best in Maranhao...it was a great pleasure to stay there.

This is the best place if you visit the Lencois sand dunes. The location is scenic and relaxing by the riverside. The rooms have air conditioning and are spacious. Try the fish accompanied with fried beans and rice. The hosts are fantastic, they organised our trip to the sand dunes and our transfer from/to Sao Luiz. Would recommend highly for... More

We chose to stay here for three nights, based on reviews we read on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed. Everything was beyond our expectations. Michael picked us up as arranged, and we arrived at the B & B in time for a delicious lunch cooked by Josiane. This was the first of many excellent meals. Our spacious chalet was... More

Many good things have been said about this excellent pousada in Barreirinhas, and they are all true. We had just one night there (late booking and full for the other nights) It is about 10 minutes by boat from the main town. We had an excellent lunch and a small dinner at reasonable prices and the chalets are spacious and... More

I can't agree more with the feedback given by others... Sossego do Cantinho is absolutely fantastic and the service is first-class. Michael looked after us and arranged the tours to Cabure and Lencois with a very reliable and professional company with no extra fee. Josiane's cooking skills are just wonderful... we tried shrimp, fish and pancakes. The breakfast is generous,... More

4 bungalows on the river Preguicas with very large clean room. A/C, free wi-fi. excellent food. Michael, Swiss owner, living there since 2002, is very kind and professional. If you wish, he will book for you the 2 main tours, without extra-charge. First over the "lencois" ( 15:00-18:00 ) by off-road, with pick up on the road backside of the... More

Everything that everyone else has said about this Pousada is just on the spot and more! The hosts Michael and Josiane are wonderful hosts, very attentious and make sure that you have all your needs attended. Michael is Swiss and if this is any indication of the perfectionism of the Swiss, the rooms have attention to details in decor and... More

This is the second time I stayed in this hotel. The place is great! Some people can find it isolated, but the town of Barreirinhas doesn't have too much to offer in the downtown. Barreirinhas is great because of the river and the lencois, and some other stuffs that you can NOT find in the downtown. But if you feel... More

It's really hard for me to find the right words to describe just how much we've liked our stay at the pousada Sossego do Cantinho. From the moment we left the bus and saw Michael waiting for us near his boat to take us to the pousada we felt privileged. He also immediatly asked us if we wanted to do... More
