This beautiful hotel oozes charm and makes a visit in Salvador extra special. The rooms are beautifully decorated in Colonial decor, each unique, and the service is excellent and the location is ideal. Even if you don't stay at the hotel, definitely go to the restaurant. The food is superb and it's notably less expensive than other equally gourmet and... More

Our room, Calicut, was beautiful in every way. As we only had two days we enjoyed being on the main square and walked everywhere we wanted to go. Good restaurants within a few blocks. Highly recommended. More

We stayed in Villa Bahia for 5 days at the start of our trip to northern Brazil & I think it's possibly the best hotel we've ever experienced. The building itself, the wonderful staff, the beautiful rooms - I cannot think of any improvements that can be made to this haven in the gem that is Pelourinho. The location is... More

I had made a reservation through Hotel.com and when I checked into the hotel I found the room to be dusty and moldy. The hotel is also on one of the main squares so it is very loud. After a few hours I went downstairs and spoke to the front desk about the mold and due to my allergies wanted... More

Beautifully restored old building. Every room is unique – be sure to check the website to pick the one that most appeals. The plumbing works, the beds are comfie, the linens first rate, and the décor is downright magical – in the rooms, the corridors, and the lobbies. We loved our street view room with a balcony accessed through floor-to-ceiling... More

-The hotel is amazingly well decorated and located in the iconic historical site of Salvador. The old house was well restored, and decoration was carefully selected to represent local culture and history. We arrived early evening and the desk clerk was welcoming, and recommended dinner at the hotel restaurant. There was a special salad being offered. The room was spacious,... More

An old mansion, finely decorated with antique Portuguese period pieces, this magnificent Hotel is ideally located, in the best part of the Peolurinho. The staff is extremely helpful, always attending your every need with a smile. I have only had breakfast at the hotel, which was outstanding in the variety of fruits and juices offered, as well as hot plates... More

Wonderful hotel, beautifully furnished with a perfect location in Pelourinho. Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very large and served when we wanted it. The pool is small, but what a refreshing break to come home to each day. I called the hotel before booking to make sure the room would work for us -... More

This quaint beautifully restored old colonial building is so very charming & in a perfect location for sight seeing in the Pelohourino area of Salvador. We had 2 rooms - Timor & Madagascar, which faced the street with small balconies that opened onto the square. Both rooms were very spacious with large bathrooms and air conditioning worked well. The staff... More

This was the by far the best night's sleep that I had in Brazil - not an easy thing to come by in a noisy country where far too many hotels use foam mattresses and poor quality bed linen. Not the case here. The hotel is very well situated in the colonial centre of the city and the 17th/18th century... More
