By far the best, pousada/hotel we have been in Brasil. From the very first moment, when we have been welcomed with a fresh made mango juice, to the last moment, when the 4 of us were very sorry to leave. Perfectly safe (whole Brasil tourist areas have become much safers lately, with strong federal police presence), we never felt unsecure,... More

Warm welcoming, nice rooms with view on the bay. Fresh homemade breakfast. Refinded arty design and nice patio + terrasse. 4 rooms om the street and 4 on the bay. We had one on the bay, which was very nice with a privative terrase. Inside, the patio gives a lot of light. The staff and proprieraty give a warm and... More

I booked one night at Pousada des Arts before taking a boat to Morro de sao Paulo but i did not feel properly treated. I booked a transfer from the airport but none came to pick us up , and another disappointing aspect as been that they charged me a local phone call I asked them to make for me:... More

Charming hotel with warm and friendly staff. Great location. Super helpful. Definitely do the sailboat ride with Eric (the French owner) if you get the chance. Awesome breakfast included! More

If you're going to Brazil, don't miss Salvador. It's a 2 hour flight from Rio. As the first city in Brazil it's got great Portuguese colonial architecture, crafts, and ancient streets. As the home of Afro-Brazilian culture-- this was the port for the huge African-Brazilian slave trade-- it is rich in hybrid Potuguese-native-Afro-Brazilian culture and arts. Think: African drumming and... More

Just a perfect welcome delight. The staff were tremendous and the view is incredible. The rooms were clean and impecably presented. But the most amazing thing is the the way that this place has been decorated. It is the Salvadorian style and the ceramics, art and colour are just amazing. The breakfast is wonderful too. especially the fresh juices. Felt... More

Great location in historic center of city. Beautiful rooms and balconies. Eric the owner and staff were extremely helpful in arranging sightseeing, providing information, and overall very accommodating. More

Lovely renovated pousada. Good size rooms. Balconies available in rooms for extra cost but the pousada itself has two lovely balconies overlooking the sea where you take breakfast and can sit and relax. The breakfast particularly is worthy of mention. Really delicious with home baked local goods, fresh fruits and juices and great coffee. The other highlight is the great... More
