Lock in a great price for Hotel Villa Bahia – rated 9.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

The hotel is a boutique hotel, located at the main street of the Pelourinho (the old center of Bahia); we were there as in the colonial time (the doors, the floors, the stairs, the decoration, etc). The restaurant is small but excellent: gourmet meals and the best of all: the caipirinhas (the typical brazilian alcoholic drink). The staff was very friendly. Everything fine.

This is an absolutely stellar hotel with a fabulous restaurant. The historic hotel environment is like a museum. The whole hotel is filled with gorgeous antiques. The restaurant is utterly beautiful and the food incredibly special.

Alyce

A beautiful old house with gorgeous romantic large rooms, comfortable bed, delicious breakfast, set in a wonderful location at a breathtaking square with the famous church and near all attractions . The staff at the reception were nice, attentive and helpful. The restaurant manager at breakfast was a bit rude but maybe she just had bad days. We stayed 2 nights and it was the best part of our Salvador short visit.

Because it’s at the touristic center it can get a bit loud in the rooms from the noise outside, but it’s not too bad.
Unique Hotel in the historic center of Salvador. It’s a good starting point to discover the city. If you take a taxi or an Uber other places like Barra are also not too far. Staff is super friendly, rooms are huge and food is good!

The bar prices were high. The laundry was too expensive. The bread could be fresher, and breakfast became boring after a few days. Our bathroom needed some attention and could have been cleaner.
The staff were a real asset to the hotel. The decor and restoration of a couple of old houses was done sensitively and tastefully. Our room Madagascar was magnificent. It was on the main square. I suggest if you want a quiet room you got to the back of the building although the street music does stop at 10pm.
