“Amazing guest house full of character”
Brilliant historic guest house with a lot of character. We stayed in January during carnival practice, and it was fantastic to be able to watch the bands marching past right outside the guest house from the comfort of the balcony, without being crushed in crowds on the street!

“perfect to experience Olinda!”
historical hotel that has been renovated beautifully. Great experience. The staff are lovely too. Breakfast good. Location is perfect, in the middle of the historical area and bars and great restaurants. Friday and Saturday nights are very lively! On street parking is ok as long as you get there before 5pm as it gets very busy in the area in the evening. be careful of the guides and the people trying to take your photo for money. Very hard to get and quality!!

“Friendly staff, great breakfast and enjoyable stay in this characterful building”
Very friendly staff, option for drinks and meals on site (handy on a Monday when very little was open), lots of spaces to enjoy time in when not out (including a pool). Good breakfast included. Bang in the centre of music (band practising for carnival) and drink options. Easy to explore Olinda on foot from here. Room on first floor with its own balcony was quiet and a nice space.

“A quaint Pousada in the heart of old Olinda.”
Lovely terrace attached to room 115 - highly recommend this room for this reason. Quaintly furnished in keeping with the whole Pousada, which is filled with regional artefacts. Lovely terraces and pool. Lovely, friendly staff.

Lovely place in a lovely city. Charming hotel in an old house with a shaded small garden. Located in a quiet street of the old city center, you can walk easily from the hotel to the main historical and cultural spots of Olinda. You just have to go down the street to reach the bus and taxi station to Recife. Very nice staff and helpful . And to be noticed : english spoken.
