Within walking distance ( flat shoes recommended ) of the old town, accomodation was considerably improved by a change of room. We arrived very late and got a horrible room next to the kitchen area ( felt like being in India ) but, after a moan with the manager, moved to the top with a view over rooftops and streets.... More

The owner promised us a room with a window, when we get there the window was an interior one, so our view was a hallway. We demanded upon our returning from Morro a new room with a view of the street, the owner said yes and we had to pay in advance. When we returned to the pousada the room... More

Working and holidaying is not always an easy balance. But the wonderful owners of this property made the work easy by offering good travel and safety advice and made the stay fantastic with good accomodation and good food suggestions. We stayed in the Colonial room which has a wonderful view of the whole bay and its ever changing scene. from... More

The standard of pousada in Rua Antonio Do Carmo, just off the Pelourinho, is very high. Next to Villa Bela there are other structures all with amazing sea view, some also with restaurants. Vila Bella makes the difference because of Stephane, who has a European heart and knows how hospitality works (most of Brazilians don't). His wife is also a... More

What a lovely place this is. It's on the outskirts of the Pelourinho so not too noisy, but still safe. The rooms are beautiful and have a lovely view. The owners are really friendly and ensure that your stay is enjoyable. My 2 little gripes are firstly we had to pay cash as they don't accept credit/debit cards. We knew... More

Stephane and Gerusa were communicative when I was trying to book the pousada, they were very prompt and even held my reservation without an advance. Their driver met us at the airport even though our flight was delayed by over an hour. When we arrived at the pousada Stephane spent a lot of time acquainting us with the Pelourinho, and... More

We were met at the airport even though our flight was an hour late. There was someone waiting to greet us and help us check in at 9:30p. The next morning we were greeted by Gerusa and served a tasty breakfast. After breakfast she helped us plan our day, helped with reservations to the Bale Folclorico and provided directions and...

Stayed here with my wife and mother in the final stages of our year long trip around South America. Stefan and Jerusela (sorry if the spelling is wrong) were lovely people that really made the extra effort to make you feel at home and let you know the best things to see and good places to eat. This place was... More

The best part of our visit to Salvador was staying at this bed and breakfast! Our room was large and comfortable wth a big bathroom and a lovely terrace with chairs and a table to relax and enjoy the view of the bay. A very nice breakfast buffet is included with the room which provides a nice variety of fruit,... More

We stayed here 4 nights. We are a family of 4 (2adults and 2 children). Our first tip for those visiting Salvador is make sure to come on a Tuesday. Tuesday nights the streets come alive with music and party atmosphere. There is samba in the streets and bands playing and generally everyone has a great time. Now for the... More
