Superb location, beautifully restored historic building, truly boutique hotel. Mr Santiago was a truly exceptional concierge, whose in depth knowledge of Salvador, and advice on cultural events made my stay in Salvador interesting. I am very grateful for his input, and understanding of guests needs.

Thais, Brazil

The breakfast was varied, filling and delicious. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The location was excellent- very central to the old town. The ambiance inside was calm and the historical setting was just what we desired staying in this part of Salvador. Would definitely stay there again.

Charlane, Chile

Gorgeous hotel, perfectly located in the centre of Salvador’s historic old town. The hotel is beautifully decorated and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend!

Morgan, United Kingdom

Villa Bahia hotel is really beautiful, it has colonial style and every detail in the hotel supports this style. Rooms are spacious and very cozy. We stayed here for one night during our honeymoon and the hotel prepared for us a free bottle of very good champagne, which was very pleasant. The hotel has small but very beautiful roof terrace and also small pool in the inner yard. The stuff at the front desk was very welcoming and friendly. We asked for a late check out and hotel approved it right away. Breakfast is special - everything is being brought to your table: fruit, granola with yogurt, variety of breads with jam and butter, omelette, coffee, juice, etc. We personally prefer the open buffet were you can choose yourself what you will eat, but this breakfast was also good.

Jelle, Netherlands

Just a wonderful hotel with the best location. The rooms and the whole hotel were decorated by the Ts. Amazing guest service skills.

Rodrigo, United States of America

Perfectly located, beautiful hotel with great rooms and breakfast. Staff is really lovely and they speak many languages. We had a beautiful room overlooking the square. Amazing place to stay in Salvador!

The only disappointing point about this hotel was the weak wifi in the rooms - it barely worked. Hotel is situated on the most central square of Pelourinho, which provides the beautiful view from the windows, however might be noisy at night.

Honestly nothing: this place has got it figured out. The only thing I might add is that for Brazil, it is slightly on the expensive side.
Hotel was my kind of ideal: intimate, charming, thoughtfully decorated, comfortable, clean and friendly in a gorgeous central location. I felt like I was at home. The staff were all exceptionally kind, friendly and helpful. The (included) breakfast was generous and yummy; the restaurant was delicious.
