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.

Tastefully decorated rooms with air conditioning await you at Hotel Pousada São Francisco, a welcoming hotel that lies only 110 yards from the beach in Olinda.
With an outdoor pool, garden area, Alto Astral is located in Olinda. It features a rustic, colorful décor, buffet breakfast and free Wi-Fi in public areas.
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.
We loved staying with Gigi! What a delightful, hardworking lady. We can't speak Portuguese, but chatted about family like old friends.
The room downstairs was a little cramped and perhaps the ones upstairs are lighter too. However, breakfast was superb and with all guests sitting around one large table, it was good to catch up on everyone's travels and experiences.
It's a noisy neighbourhood.... But the whole of Olinda is noisy because practice for Carnival is in full swing!
Beautiful property! Excellent location to explore Olinda. The room is brand new and beautifully decorated, the garden and swimming pool area also very beautiful. Delicious breakfast prepared by lovely Patricia and our host Joana is also a lovely person and gave us excellent recommendations of places in Olinda. We had an amazing time and I would definitely stay at Estalagem Bonfim again.
I had a really great experience in the hostel. The property and terrace area were so beautiful—it felt like a hidden oasis! The location was also perfect and very central, but it was still very quiet at night and easy to sleep well. The breakfast and the staff were lovely and everyone I met was kind. I would highly recommend; I can’t think of a better option for a stay in Olinda!
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.
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%.
Location was great and the pool area very cozy. The massage i enjoyed was good and the restaurant had an average menu and the breakfast was fairly non descript. I think the hotel was fairly empty - low season - but i found the room to be quiet.
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!
The staff is very nice and do not hesitate to help you or offer to keep the bags, use the tables and the condiments. The breakfast was very good and diversified ! The location to visit Olinda is great.
Lovely and helpful staff, convenient restaurant with quality food, gorgeous patio that was a delight to sit on in the evenings. Wonderful ambiance that really gives the flavor of Olinda. A++
The location was perfect for us as we had a wedding to go in Olinda and the hotel was close to everything we needed. Also the view in front of the hotel was really nice.
Nice pousada in a beautiful traditional house with a lovely garden with view over Recefe and the sea in the center of this marvelous historic town Olinda.
