Pousada des Arts

Charming pousada. Breakfast with a beautiful view of the bay. People at reception very nice and helpful.

Room was not ready at 6pm and there was no hot water

A beautiful colourful facade reveals an even more colourful, charming and cosy interior. Built in the style of a Mediterranean patio you'll find the rooms upstairs and the common areas with library, sofa lounges and restaurant on the ground floor. Our room faced the small cobblestone street and had everything we needed (bathroom, fridge, AC, wifi). It was calm at night. The breakfast was spectacular. A rich buffet with lots of delicious exotic surprises to the European taste. The view onto the bay was fantastic. Located on a narrow cobblestone street on the northern end of the old town, you'll find most sights within walking range. It's a 15 minutes walk to the escalator with small supermarkets and banks on the way. Down there by the harbour you'll find boats and tour operators to the beaches of Morro de Sao Paulo. If you want to leave the old town you should take a cab. We found the surrounding neighbourhoods pretty dangerous. Pousada de Arts recommends a very nice and reliable driver (Miró) We may want to come back:)

This pousada is located in a typically Salvador neighbourhood. The building itself is to wow visitors. It feels like you will live in a Bahiana house for a short time. That includes breakfast which will give you a taste of the local morning cuisine. We had a balcony sea view and did enjoy it. The sunsets are beautiful and unforgettable. The staff are second to none. They are so friendly, considerate and helpful. You know you’re in Bahia. My most heartfelt thank you to the kitchen and reception staff who are absolute sweethearts.

Ficamos uma diária na pousada. Necessita de uma reforma urgente. A parte externa deve ser preservada. Quartos e banheiros muito antigo. Limpeza também pode ser melhorada. Toalhas e lençóis precisam ser renovados. Ponto positivo para a localização e o café da manhã.

Que lugar MA RA VI LHO SO. Que experiencia otima. Procurava um lugar com alma, história e agradável,encontrei MUITO mais do que estava a espera. Fanstástico cafe da manha, com muito carácter e melhor para mim: o Fator humano. Recomendo MUITO
