Pousada Ciamat Camp

Whimsical atmosphere. Ecochalets are simply perfect to enjoy fresh natural air even during hot nights. The riverside eco chalet seems derived from a fairy tale. Food is fresh, genuine and lovely served. Home made passion fruit jam is simply the best in Brasil. Malasia shrimps dinner night is a must. Thank You Fulvia and Matteo, wish we will be soon back and wish You all the best you surely diserve

Beautiful place, a bit hard to get there by car, some sand roads where you can get stuck easily so make sure you pay attention to the right turns. Service is 10/10 as well as the beautiful nature and cabins. Full of animals a a very welcoming dog called Emma.

The gardens of this place are enough reason to visit. We were staying at a different hotel but decide to cross the river to check out the restaurant and river bar. The bar had the best marguerita that we have had in Brazil and the caipirinhas were excellent. We decided to add a night at their hotel to continue enjoying their homemade pastas. The breakfast was excellent and everything is tastefully decorated.

The poussada is a beautiful family-story, managed by a mother and her son - who speaks French and Italian. It is located in the heart of nature, at the border of the river. Its garden is wonderful (with animals), the bungalows are clean and have AC. The breakfast is really good and the staff very polite. The restaurant is also good and offers brasilian and Italian food. They adapted everything for the allergies (gluten and lactose). We had a wonderful stay there !

We chose Santo Amaro / Ciamat Camp to be close to the Lencois natl. Park and it was an excellent choice. The owner/staff are super friendly and helpful. They helped us to organize the transfers to/from the camp to São Luis and Barra Grande and also took care of the tours into the park - one of our most exciting trips ever. They really made a ever lasting full day event tour with us.||The Camp is in a rural area and basic, but a lovely place and it had all we need. To get in/out to the camp as in most of Santo Amaro you need a 4x4. ||They have a small beach, a nice garden, a bar and a restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had a cabin which was very nice and clean. Not very big, but for us as a family of 4 for a couple of days fully ok. And you have plenty of places to spread out in the garden. ||The restaurant offers a Italian menu and as everything is prepared to order it can take some time, but you can pre order, or just order and then enjoy yourself with drinks in the garden if you do not want to wait in the restaurant. It is more like a family kitchen. We enjoyed the food and the experience. ||The breakfast was very basic with very limited choices, but this is what you should expect when going into a very remote place. Again, they also offered Omelettes and other prepared food if you wanted. We did not miss anything and they really made an effort to make us feel good. ||The WIFI has some challenges as it either drops out or you have to go to specific places on the property. So if you depend on WIFI you have to be prepared to be a little bit flexible and patient. ||If you plan to go to Lencois, definitely a place I would recommend. |

My review title is correct but incomplete: this place is charming, and would well be worth the visit in any beach town, but it is also the ONLY place to stay in Santo Amaro with more than an ounce of charm. The rest of the places we saw were loud, cheesy, neon-lighted affairs - Ciamat is makes do with backwoods Brazil resources but keeps it classy with cute common areas, GREAT service, fantastic food. If you can reserve one of their few (5?) chalets, you will, however, pay a bit more, and give up some (pointless) creature comforts - there are no TVs or frigobars, the wifi is spotty, there may be frogs in your shower, and you should probably just give up on the sand and go barefoot. In the end, these are plusses, as the Neapolitan owner, Fulvia, and her two sons, Thiago and Mateo, are ever-present (and dedicated to avoiding the usual timing frustrations for their clients), the caipirinhas are cheap and delicious and the sunsets over the river-side beach are stunning.

This place is to get in touch with the nature. The river Alegre is in the backyard, with clear, clam and warm water.The deep goes till your thigh. Very relaxing! The accommodation is simple, without air condictioning or TV but do have hot water in the shower. Who wants a Tv in this paradise? Here is a place to wake up and sleep early. There is a fan that is ok for the night temperature but if you want to sleep during the sunny day may not be enough. All the dunes are the most beautifull ones in Lençois, so do not waste your time in your bedroom during the day. For day trip try to join other guests in other pousadas to share the expensive rates. Matteo assists to call other places to find other guests who wants to join the Hilux ride. The food in their restaurant is good and have a good price compared to the very few options in the simple village. The place already accepts credit card, different from another old post.||||The negatives points are: in front there is a school, so the kids noise may wake up you earlier than you wish. The breakfast has few itens and the staff forgets to serve your special requests (ex eggs). Some people may not enjoy crossing the river on foot go to the village at night. For me was a positive adventure! Bring your torch/flashlight and repellent. If you do not stand spiders, don't came.

The Ciamat Camp is absolutely amazing. Everything is super lovely decorated, clean and beauttiful. The owners and brothers Mattheo and Tiago are super nice people who gave us great tips and helped us a lot with everything. I would definetely recommend to book the trips to the larancoes with them (they have some special trips outside of the tourist ones which show even more how the locals live). There is also a nice bar for a Caipirinha. Overall: Perfect place for a chilled stay at the Larancoes.
