Backing right onto Armacao Beach, this pousada was a pleasant surprise. The owner Klaus makes you feel welcome like you're staying in his house (which I guess you are ;-). The rooms are clean and functional, definitely worth paying the extra 20 realos for an upstairs room with aircon. There was a great lounge area too, our only gripe was... More

The pousada was really perfect. Quiet, clean, friendly staff, great location. There is a hammock on the balcony/patio in each room, great complimentary breakfast with fresh fruits and homemade breads/cakes. The beach is right out of the back gate - really gorgeous, natural beach! Really, my only complaint was the lack of air conditioning, which of course I expected. It... More

Great location, a simple and peaceful place were all we wanted come thru... The beach is great and relax oposite from the confusion on the north and you can get some good surfing..... Do not miss Matadeiro beach next door and the wonderfull walking around the mountains with the green and the blue sea side by side. The owner Klaus... More

Great location on a quite undeveloped beach with nearby fishing village. Rooms clean and basic (we stayed in the basic one). I liked the finishing touches - a sun umbrella, folding chairs, and a paddle ball set - perfect for the beach. Owner was great. Stay here.

We stumbled upon Pousada Penareia entirely by accident and it was one of the best accidents of our entire trip. As two backpackers having rolled into Florianopolis after the chaos of Carnival in Rio, we were searching for a getaway, and avoided at all costs the touristy hotels for Floripa being flogged to us before we had barely set foot...

We wanted to get away from it all for a few days, to somewhere with an attractive setting, deserted beaches and a couple of moderately strenuous walks. Four days at the Pousada Penareia was perfect. We didn't hire a car so we did a bit of walking to get around - it's 10-15 minutes along the beach to Armacao's main... More

Our trip was amazing. Markus Greiner Pension is top! Very clean, amazing breakfast, very confortable, all that you can expect from a very nice place. Not so far away from the beach. We really enjoyed Floripa, specially with Markus' tipps.

Just kidding. (But this is the way we feel about the place.) We might be able to explain the bimodal spread of this property's rating scores, with most of them in the 4-5 range. It might have to do with expectations. What to expect? The neighborhood is not 'upscale,' but it was perfect for us (two 'mature' professionals who qualify... More

I picked out this Pousada from this site and I was happy to get what I expected. Lovely place away from the noisy Floripa. Clean room and bathroom with a good hot shower.Fantastic breakfast with home made pastries, waffles, natural juice, cold meat , different kinds of bread, and more, accompanied by very good coffee, which, in my opinion, is...
