The big doubt we had once we decided to go to Trancoso was where to stay: by the beach or in the old part of town? We opted for the town side because 1) it gets dark pretty early there (around 6 pm in the summer), 2) there are several nice beaches in the area and being stuck in one... More

I stayed at Etnia Pousada with a friend in November. This place has so much charm that we felt immediately at home. The garden, the bungalows, the pool and the bar/restaurant are so tasteful and welcoming and the staff is just superb. We were treated and spoilt and nothing was too much for them. We even were upgraded upon arrival... More

We stayed here at the beginning of November and the hotel was fine. The rooms are nice but we did not find the beds to be comfortable. It wasn't very relaxing to sit around the pool as there are dogs (not the 3 dogs who are at the hotel, they are very well behaved ) around the property that are... More

I could have written Ginevra's review, below. I stayed at Etnia for three nights recently, and the only sadness was that it wasn't long enough. Laura and her team did an amazing job of making us feel at home, both at the pousada and in Brazil. Within moments of arriving we were on a first name basis with everyone, and... More

We spent the last week of a 3 week honeymoon in Etnia and it was simply perfect. The service, the location and the room was everything we could have hoped for. We were the only ones staying there but it didn't feel awkward at all. The staff were so attentive and nothing was too difficult for them. Flavia was amazing... More

My husband and I stayed at Etnia Pousada for three nights recently. We had an amazing stay and cannot fault the level of welcome, customer service, breakfast, bar service, or the pool area and grounds. We were the only guests staying there and very much enjoyed our time with Laura and the team. Laura organised a private yoga class for... More

I don't know where to begin. I spent 5 nights at Etnia pousada in Trancoso and it was heavenly. After a few weeks of traveling in Bahia, Etnia pousada provided me with total, utter relaxation and tranquility. The property in the town near the Quadrado is stunning. I stayed in the Gypsy suite, which is fun and bright and colorful,... More

The Etnia property is truly lovely, but what makes this experience so special is the quality of the team of people who work there and see to your every need. We spent four glorious days here following an active adventure around some of Brazil's landmarks. We arrived, took off our shoes and donned our bathing suits and that was it!... More

I read the reviews but seeing is believing. The pousada is lovely, set among mature trees, a large pool and chalets spread out on the property. Each one has a theme, but very simply decorated and nothing too much. The rooms are very spacious, a loft, large shower, large everything. Beautiful cafe da manha! Service is terrrific but not doting.... More

Etnia is very exclusive, with only eight bungalows, each with a different decor. I stayed for three nights at the mediterranean bungalow, which was very spacious, confortable, clean and nicely decorated. Staff was very nice, friendly and helpful during all our stay. Breakfast is very good, with a lot of options, and it is served next to the pool, which... More
