Casa do Amarelindo

I first contacted this hotel in early 2023 about staying with them but it was r until June this year that I stayed with them. My stay exceeded my expectations, it really is a gem of a hotel. The rooms are finished to a high standard, the windows offer great sound proofing from the busy street outside. The hotel has a small swimming pool and terrace, which is a good spot to relax. The breakfast is very substantial with a good offering. At nighttime the restaurant serves dinner and has several interesting vegetarian options (not easy to find in Brazil) The staff and owners are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. The Pelourinho area is safe but please be aware of your surroundings at all times. I would recommend the hotel and would use it again should I return to Salvador.

What a wonderful hotel. When we arrived after a very ling two days of traveling, Luis welcomed us and was prepared with great advice about the hotel and surrounding area. He also gave us some pointers on the other places we will be traveling to in Bahia. Our room (XI) was absolutely spotless and comfortable with a wonderful view of the bay from the terrace. We arrived just before sunset, so we enjoyed a refreshing drink from the pool terrace while watching the sky change colors. The beds, linens and room amenities were lovely. The room was also quiet, so we slept very well. Highly recommend!

We stayed here twice because it’s extra comfortable and peaceful in the center of all the action. You step right out into the most picturesque part of Pelourinho with ice cream, food, souvenirs within feet of the door. The best part of this place is the people who work here. So nice, helpful, friendly. We loved staying here.

Luis, Adam and Rodrigo were superb. Helping us arrange beach visits, airport transfers, nighttime excursions. Just lovely. The place itself is in the middle of the action and outside of shopping and cultural/museum visits that means MUSIC, because THAT is Brazil. The room was large and the bed extremely comfortable with a great shower to boot. The restaurant was lovely with an ample breakfast and nice dinner…we ate there twice. The caipirinhas of course were my favorite. Communication with the establishment both pre and post stay was exceptional. Definitely recommend to stay in this lovely boutique hotel right in the middle of the old town action of Pelhourino!

Beautiful boutique hotel and lovely people. This was my second time at Casa do Amarelindo and this hotel has become a full part of my experience in Salvador de Bahia. I came with friends and got to visit a good sample of the different rooms and they are all charming, peaceful and quiet. The breakfast is delicious and includes delicious homemade cakes and jams. The rooftop is a wonderful place to observe birds and the city awakening in the quiet early mornings and have drinks at night. A big thank you to Didier and Gilles and all the wonderful people of Casa do Amarelindo!

This is our second time at Casa do Amarelindo. The owners and all the people working in this hotel are wonderful, so lovely, friendly, resourceful and caring. The common areas are pristine and the rooms (our group of friends stayed in different rooms so I got to see many of them) are beautiful and peaceful, right in the center of Pelourinho. The rooftop gives such open views of the city and the bay. I just left and am already thinking of going back next year. A big thank you to Didier, Gilles and everyone at Casa do Amarelindo for making this trip so unique.

The owners , Gilles and Didier, created an amazing place where you can rest and enjoy a delicious local cuisine. Their team is also so great: they will all do everything they can to offer you a beautiful stay. Rodrigo, Luis and George’s are really dedicated. The waiters are smily and nice. I really recommend it.

Casa do Amarelindo's location is central to the energy and character of Pelourinho. Often a starting point for the local bateria (drums) to magnetise the people in the streets with their rhythm.||Our stay with Amarelindo was one to remember. The staff, restaurant, bar, and recommended tours were highlights of our stay. We cannot recommend the tours more - we travelled through Salvador with our tour guide (Carol) who was incredibly knowledgeable, charismatic, and gave a very nuanced/insightful tour of the city. Going on the tours and learning about the history of Salvador and the beginnings of Brazil was an experience nothing short of amazing.||We booked transportation to and from the airport all through Casa do Amarelindo which made the whole experience smooth like clockwork, yet relaxing and enjoyable.
