I stayed in the room Yemanja with a wonderful view of the bay and the Pelourinho. Breakfast is served on a really nice terrace also with this view, they serve great juices and tropical delicacies. For me the highlight were Stephane and Gerusa's recommendations on what to visit and also the clear directions they gave me (I have a hard... More

After a long trip from London we had a bit of culture shock on arrival in Salvador. It took a little bit of coaxing to have a walk around the old city as we expected to be mugged as soon as we ventured out. Fortunately we soon were reassured when we saw other tourists walking about with their cameras on... More

I stayed at the Pousada during my first trip to Brazil with my Brazilian boyfriend. We had gotten engaged the day before and my new Fiance called the Pousada and asked them to make it special to celebrate. We were greeted in our room with strawberries, champagne, pastries, grapes and a lovely tropical flower bouquet! Our room was beautiful with... More

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

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
