My mum and I just spent 4 nites at this gorgeous pousada (like a b&b) and absolutely loved it. It is located around 10 -15 mins walk from the centre of the historical district, so as long as you don't have mobility issues it is a perfect locaton and very quiet (apart from the dogs barking next door).Had booked a standard room via hotels.com but ended up upgrading as offered upon check in to the oceanview room, at an extra 30 reals per night was worth every penny. There was a lovely hammock to use and the balcony was spacious and a perfect place to watch the sunset. The breakfast on the sunny terrace was delicious with plenty of fresh fruit and treats, we even saw a little monkey and lots of hummingbirds too! Nilson was a great host, very acommodating and friendly and he picked us up and dropped us at the airport for an extra 100 reals each way. It is a shame we do not speak portugese as I'm sure he would have had some stories to share. Vivien at reception was also excellent and speaks very good English, she helped us a lot with reccommendations of restaurants and things to see and nothing was too much trouble. The only downful to the property is the wifi,it is only available in the common areas (no wifi in room) and the signal is very poor snd cuts in and out, which was a little stressful when we needed to book onward flights and travels. Also make sure to not leave any food in the room as we had some fruit and were invaded by ants. Overall a very charming place, Salvador is fantastic and you will love your stay here.
