Pousada Villa Carmo is very well located in the centre of the Pelorinho. It is safe and supervised 24/7. We stayed here in August 2011 and paid R$150 for a double room and breakfast which is pretty good for Salvador. Staff is very friendly and helpful! The breakfast area is on a balcony overlooking the baía de Todos os Santos,... More

I found this pousada on venere when I was having trouble getting a room last minute. The owner was quick to respond to my questions and when our flight was delayed out of Recife the night concierge handled our airport transfer changes and our driver was there to meet us at 5am. We stayed in room 1 overlooking the cobblestone... More

We were in room 4 (clearly the best, overlooking the harbor), two of the nights with our adult daughter. The layout of the room makes it a good choice for 3 people. We found the room, and little balcony, and the terrace downstairs to be very pleasant places to hang out. Now that we've been there, we know we would... More

This is a beautiful pousada, right in the heart of the old city of Salvador. It was clean, comfortable and surprisingly quiet given the location. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was standard fare, and nice enough. Would recommend it to others. More

This B&B is located in the historic centre of Salvador, but slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Pelourinho. My room looked over the sea, admittedly with the port in the way. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast in particular is fantastic, the best I had in Brazil. Having said that, the rooms are a... More

We had a nice room overlooking the bay and harbour incl. a romantic sundown from the nice balcony. Vila Carmo is ocated in walking distance from all attractions in Pelourinho. Especially the Bahia breakfast is great. Room is a little run-down and sanitary facilities are a bit smelly. Enjoyed it anyhow. More

This is a beautiful pousada in a great location. The staff are very friendly and helpful, they organised a trip to a candomblé ceremony at the last minute, and booked us tickets to a fantastic traditional Brazilian dance show (Balé Folclórico da Bahia at the Teatro Miguel Santana, highly recommended). They had lots of suggestions for us when we told... More

We ended up staying here after Studio Do Carmo unexpectedly cancelled our reservation due to renovations and recommened this place instead. Unfortunately, it wasn't on par with what we expected from Studio do Carmo (perhaps a deliberate choice so as not to be shown up by a competitor) but disappointing for us. We had room # 4 which is likely... More

I loved Salvador and staying at Hotel Studio lo Carmo added to the charm of this beautiful old town. If you're demanding and looking for luxury don't come here, but if you're looking for comfort in a colonial decorated house with a view on the sea and situated right in the middle of the old town, then you absolutely have...
