Lock in a great price for Pousada do Baluarte – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

The place is very beautiful, looks like a 19th century mansion, It's clean and comfy, and it feels like someone's home. You can get a great Brazilian breakfast for extra price. The pousada is just 7 mins walk from Pelourinho.

Maria, Russia

I loved my stay here. Zelina is great, it is cozy and comfortable and nothing like the impersonal hotels along the beach. The area is wonderful and safe and easy to get around. The breakfast is fantastic and Elani who makes it is very talented with baked goods. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Elena, United States of America

Excellent reception and lovely breakfast. It was perfect for the little time we had.

Marie, Argentina

Staff My Portuguese is dreadful, but Zelina and me still found a way to communicate. She was extremely helpful in helping me figure out what I could be doing during my time in Salvador. It was clear that she cared, not just that I had a pleasant stay in Pousada do Baluarte, but that I was able to appreciate the area too. She makes a mean caipirinha, too! Breakfast The breakfasts that I had while at this pousada were always filling, fantastic and varied. I told them I was a vegan and they didn't bat an eyelid, just chucked in extra fruit and other cooked options. Every day I was full enough to skip lunch...which was an issue, only because I found a couple of good vegan lunch spots in Pelourinho and wanted to try them all out! I would definitely go back there again, i didn't feel like the few days I spent in Salvador did the place justice and I would highly recommend this spot for anybody else thinking about exploring the area

Philip, United Kingdom

Dona Zelina is friendly and helpful, the breakfast is amazing, it's a quiet and romantic location, walking distance from the Pelourinho.

Raïssa, Netherlands

It feels like home. And the housekeeper is so sweet and an amazing cook!

O café da manhã é incrivel, servido individulmente para cada hóspede, tudo fresquinho feito na hora. A propriedade é muito bem conservada e a limpeza é absolutamente impecável.

Nicole, Brazil

La pousada es encantadora. Muy bien situada. Lo suficientemente alejada del centro del Pelourinho como para descansar por la noche y lo suficientemente cerca como para llegar caminando en un agradable paseo de menos de diez minutos por un barrio que poco tiene que envidiar al más turístico. Creo que sirven el mejor desayuno que he tomado en mi vida. Zumos naturales, frutas exóticas y sabrosas en su punto exacto, dulces caseros que hacen salivar solo con verlos, huevos, café, tostadas con mermelada casera... Y todo servido en una terraza espectacular. La decoración de la pousada es maravillosa. El personal atento y muy profesional. Siempre dispuestos a aportar buenos consejos. De diez.

Maybe it's a good idea to write down the telephone number of the place, in case there is no one at the reception at the moment or they can't hear you.
