Everything else! The view and cultural atmosphere, clean room
South KoreaVery nice host. The house located in a local area which seemed to be safe. Nice and personal breakfast and the pousada itself is super cozy and beautiful. We had a hammock for our own balcony.
GermanyBeautiful and very well decorated old house in Santo Antonio, very close to all the fun of Pelourinho. Zhelina, the owner, is very welcoming and warm with lots of great tips about Salvador and fun things to do. She asks you to feel like you are in a friends house and I could say I felt that way, the house has a lot of natural light. Very lovely!
United States of AmericaOne of the best places we have stayed! The house is just beautiful! We immediately felt like home. The owner was lovely, great breakfast with fresh home made cakes , great location! Totally recommended!
CyprusIt was tucked away, quiet and beautifully decorated and equipped. Fantastic breakfast in beautiful open room. Lovely friendly staff.
United KingdomVery well located just next to pelourinho in a safe area with some restaurants, wonderful breakfast on a nice veranda! Very charming house.
SwitzerlandA pousada muito linda, com muitos detalhes, quadros e decoração. O quarto espaçoso é bonito, o café da manhã muito gostoso e muita comida. Fica bem perto do Pelourinho, dá pra caminhar tranquilo. E sobretudo a Zelina, a dona da pousada, é uma pessoa super legal e amigável, ajuda sempre e deu boas dicas. Sempre voltaria!
GermanyLa posada è molto bella, pulita e con una colazione ottima
ArgentinaExcellent petit déjeuner et échange très convivial avec Zelina, la propriétaire, qui parle parfaitement le français et est toujours prête à vous rendre service pour organiser vos sorties, conseils avisés, commande de taxis ou Uber...
FranceA casa é linda, muito limpa e de muito bom gosto. Está localizada em local privilegiado no bairro vizinho ao Pelourinho, o Santo Antonio Além do Carmo - também pertencente ao Centro Histórico, o que permite que se esteja perto o suficiente dos locais mais agitados mas não tanto a ponto de ser um problema na hora do descanso ou para se transitar por ali. Isso que estive lá no pré- carnaval. Boas opções no café da manhã, servido numa varanda com boa vista e uma refrescante brisa. A Zelina é muito atenciosa. E fica aqui registrado o meu encantamento com o bairro todo. Havia visitado anos atrás e não havia curtido. Mas, neste ano de 2020, - ainda que haja muita margem ainda para melhorias - achei um centro histórico muito mais rico, bonito, mais seguro, cosmopolita, dono de uma ótima e variada gastronomia.
