I really do not understand how could this pousada won the award!! My husband and I stayed in this pousada for 4 nights in September. Due to the good reviews on the pousada, I tried my best to get in to this pousada and i believed that We would have a good stay here. At that stage, Eric was very... More

Eric & Rosi are a lovely couple with an equally lovely pousada. I highly recommend a stay here. Eric has a boat that he can take his guest on. He is a wonderful host with great drinks, food & stories!

This is a great pousada offering a tasty and varied breakfast, clean and colourful rooms, great views of the pelhourina and friendly and helpful staff. What really stood out though was the decoration of the place. Everywhere you looked there was amazing colour, art, hangings, books, plants. It was a feast for the senses. At breakfast there were great views... More

Our room was lovely, not too fancy, it was colourful, spacious and had a large bathroom. The location was a 10 minute walk to the old town which at night makes it a very quiet street to... More

The photos of this pousada lured me in booking it however on arrival although very colourful, it isn't as polished as it looks on the website. Although on the main road it's almost at the end therefore it is a 10 minute walk to the old town. The look of the room has been focused more so than the practicalities... More

We stayed here last April. It is a beautiful pousada, authentically decorated and probably one of the nicest places to stay in quite a delapidated city. If you want to experience 'real' Brazil in Salvador than this is a good choice of accommodation - average priced, but worth the extra money and within easy walking distance of all the key... More
