Costeiro is just a 15-minute walk from Olinda historical town, which was named a world heritage by UNESCO. The hotel offers a swimming pool in its courtyard with ocean views.

I was very impressed with how well maintained this hotel is. I know how hard the salt air and humidity is on buildings, Hotel Costeiro is not fancy but they have taken care to give this hotel character through the local art on the walls and the old time Olinda furniture in the halls. Breakfast was good and they made some of the best tapioca I've had.
Set in a beautiful park next to Olinda´s São Francisco Convent, this hotel features a colonial museum and modern rooms. Free Wi-Fi, free parking and a large pool are available.

The breakfast was excellent! As were all of the meals in the restaurant there. The staff was super friendly and kind, from Robson at the front desk to Marta who took care of our suite!

Breakfast is great, rooms are ok, staff was nice and it is walking distance to Olinda's historical center. The beds were comfortable. It is an ok place to stay during carnival, but for the price, I would try to book something better a bit earlier next time. Wifi ok.

I loved the view from our room. Waking up to the early morning sun rise and a view of the city was beautiful. Then the breakfast cooked by the BnB host, Raymundo and Suzanna was delicious
Olinda is odd in that it is lightly populated.
For instance, there are a phenomenal number of churches in a very small area but (I imagine) way less people than there were historically,
The beach is close by and nice.
It is a stark contrast to Recife so close by.
The minor basilica is worth a visit with it’s gold or nation.

I didn't realize that my dates coincided with what is called the "previa", or preview to Carnaval. So this was an unexpected treat in a way! I don't have the tolerance or stamina for actual Carnaval, but being able to partake in and witness the preliminary street festivals was quite fun. Olinda is lovely and so walkable. I do wish that the signage for the historical markers was restored and improved. For example, the Ribeira Market is a local spot for purchasing souvenirs. It also is significant for being the market where enslaved Black people were sold alongside other "commodities". Given that Brazil has the largest percentage of people of African descent in the Americas whose ancestors were enslaved by the Portuguese, this history should NOT be overlooked, "whitewashed" or hidden. One can enjoy the beauty of a place AND acknowledge the painful legacy of enslavement throughout the Americas. Lastly, don't swim in the beaches here. Raw sewage ends up here and you can see this in the brown water. If you want a beach to swim in, head south to Porto de Galinhas.

Charming historic town.
Charming historic town. By total coincidence I was there on a Sunday night in the lead-up to Carnaval, and a local Carnaval team was practicing. Fun to watch. This evidently happens on Sunday nights for at least several weeks (longer?) leading up to Carnaval.

An incredible little haven of peace and beauty next to a buzzling city of Recife. The beaches right in front of the town are not extraordinary but within 10-15 min drive there are large beaches with little bars etc. Like anywhere in Brazil, litter and especially plastic is a problem.

I was disappointed with Olinda for being a well known tourist city in Brazil. Dirty where the beach is distant and without conditions for swimming and with little tourist attraction. Generally speaking I would not go to Recife / Olinda on vacation. The city is also very dangerous, according to residents.

We were there only one night but we enjoyed the Historic Centre and walking up to the lighthouse. The best part was taking a funicular to the treehouse restaurant! A three minute walk from the Convent.
Location and friendly staff.
My husband and I got there a little late in na night, Erica received us really well with an amazing a welcome drink. It was a drink with guava juice and cachaça.
She accommodate us and gave a recommendation of a place to have dinner.
On the following day we had breakfast at the property. Really delicious made with love.
I really enjoyed this night we has there. I wish we had more time to enjoy Olinda and the Pousada dos Quatro Cantos. I highly recommend it ;)
The pousada is extraordinary decorated with art. The staff is very nice and always helpful. The breakfast offers a rich variety of mouthwatering brazilian foods. Our kids enjoyed the relaxed atmoshphere and to play in the swimming pool. Our room was nice and offered plenty of space for 4 persons, the air conditioning worked very well. Within 2 minutes walking distance you can find a nice cafe / restaurant, a super market, a bakery and several providers of local food and even a hairdresser.
Cozy pousada on the edge of the historical centre of Olinda. The pool is very lovely and relaxing with the flowers and plants all around, so you almost feel like in the nature. In addition, there were garden seatings and hammocks which just added to the coziness even more. The breakfast was very varied, delicious and Brazilian (of course).
The room was clean and the beds comfy.

This is a very small "pousada" with only 3 well separated rooms. Everything in the room was very good and the environment was quite and relaxing. There are many bars and several good restuarants within a 10 min walking radius. I had no problems walking around late at night and will defintely stay again if I am ever in Olinda... and possibly Recife.
Excelent host: Graca made sure my family was well taken care of. The property is an attraction itself, new bathroom and extra towels were offered for other members of family who were passing by before a flight. She suggested trips, guides, tranfers and restaurants. Everything recommended was on point, so you can trust every suggestion 100%.
staff were all exceptional . From security, reception, to the kitchen and cleaning. Natalia on the front desk was super helpful, found us a restaurant showing the Liverpool game and made our stay memorable. The place it’s self is beautiful and the views of Olinda from its many vantage points quite magical.
I loved this hostel, I spent many days just relaxing by the pool and hanging out in the hostel, it felt like a true vacation. The breakfast was delicious and the air con in the room was a huge bonus. The location in Olinda is ideal and I met some wonderful people during my stay.
Beautiful location, the hotel is just under the stop where all the tourists stand to get their pics, Raimondo was an incredible host even though he speaks little English, great breakfast and patio, I was very happy with my stay, just wish I could of stayed longer
The quiet and tranquil ambiance with so many trees. The proximity to the heart of Olinda. Everything within walking distance. The rooms stay dark and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. we ordered dinner in the evening - also very good!
Perfect location in the old town of Olinda. Everything in walking distance!
Everything was very clean!
