Costeiro is just a 15-minute walk from Olinda historical town, which was named a world heritage by UNESCO. The hotel offers a swimming pool in its courtyard with ocean views.

I was very impressed with how well maintained this hotel is. I know how hard the salt air and humidity is on buildings, Hotel Costeiro is not fancy but they have taken care to give this hotel character through the local art on the walls and the old time Olinda furniture in the halls. Breakfast was good and they made some of the best tapioca I've had.
Set in a beautiful park next to Olinda´s São Francisco Convent, this hotel features a colonial museum and modern rooms. Free Wi-Fi, free parking and a large pool are available.

The breakfast was excellent! As were all of the meals in the restaurant there. The staff was super friendly and kind, from Robson at the front desk to Marta who took care of our suite!

Breakfast is great, rooms are ok, staff was nice and it is walking distance to Olinda's historical center. The beds were comfortable. It is an ok place to stay during carnival, but for the price, I would try to book something better a bit earlier next time. Wifi ok.

I loved the view from our room. Waking up to the early morning sun rise and a view of the city was beautiful. Then the breakfast cooked by the BnB host, Raymundo and Suzanna was delicious
Olinda is odd in that it is lightly populated.
For instance, there are a phenomenal number of churches in a very small area but (I imagine) way less people than there were historically,
The beach is close by and nice.
It is a stark contrast to Recife so close by.
The minor basilica is worth a visit with it’s gold or nation.

I didn't realize that my dates coincided with what is called the "previa", or preview to Carnaval. So this was an unexpected treat in a way! I don't have the tolerance or stamina for actual Carnaval, but being able to partake in and witness the preliminary street festivals was quite fun. Olinda is lovely and so walkable. I do wish that the signage for the historical markers was restored and improved. For example, the Ribeira Market is a local spot for purchasing souvenirs. It also is significant for being the market where enslaved Black people were sold alongside other "commodities". Given that Brazil has the largest percentage of people of African descent in the Americas whose ancestors were enslaved by the Portuguese, this history should NOT be overlooked, "whitewashed" or hidden. One can enjoy the beauty of a place AND acknowledge the painful legacy of enslavement throughout the Americas. Lastly, don't swim in the beaches here. Raw sewage ends up here and you can see this in the brown water. If you want a beach to swim in, head south to Porto de Galinhas.

Charming historic town.
Charming historic town. By total coincidence I was there on a Sunday night in the lead-up to Carnaval, and a local Carnaval team was practicing. Fun to watch. This evidently happens on Sunday nights for at least several weeks (longer?) leading up to Carnaval.

An incredible little haven of peace and beauty next to a buzzling city of Recife. The beaches right in front of the town are not extraordinary but within 10-15 min drive there are large beaches with little bars etc. Like anywhere in Brazil, litter and especially plastic is a problem.

I was disappointed with Olinda for being a well known tourist city in Brazil. Dirty where the beach is distant and without conditions for swimming and with little tourist attraction. Generally speaking I would not go to Recife / Olinda on vacation. The city is also very dangerous, according to residents.

We were there only one night but we enjoyed the Historic Centre and walking up to the lighthouse. The best part was taking a funicular to the treehouse restaurant! A three minute walk from the Convent.
Beautiful hotel, historic Convento on the top of hill.
Room is simple but clean. Breakfast buffet is great. They even make brazil traditional food Tapioca.
Perfect location. In historic zona, has astonishing view. close to everything.
All staffs are so nice. Especially security guard Marcilio. He troduced us the history of this Convento, helped us to order delivery food to enjoy the view in it's own restaurant.
Hospitality and willingness to help was much appreciated from the moment of arrival until our departure.
Character - the pousada has a unique eclectic style. Not to mention it's rooms decoration - very unique indeed.
The breaksfat was a feast to the eyes and palate.
The staff, starting with Patricia, Jorge were great, attentive hosts.*****
Great value for money and experience.
Until next time , thank you
Me and my wife LOVED our stay! Graça and Rita were warm and helpful, the place is exactly as the photos, the breakfast delicious and the house really well located. Extra points for the high speed internet connection that allowed me to do a couple of video calls without any interruptions. I highly recommend this place for both business (aka digital nomads looking for a nice scape) or leisure.

A gem of a hotel, set in a luscious tropical garden with a great pool with amble seating for eating and sunbathing with attentive service from the staff. The hotel is wonderfully decorated with lots of fabulous pottery around the grounds. Our room was clean, spacious and included a small
balcony. Excellent stay, highly recommended.
The team at Pousada São Pedro were so incredibly welcoming and accomodating to all my requests, they made sure my stay in Olinda absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend their personable, friendly approach highly enough and the work they go to in creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere!

Wonderful location, in the heard of Olinda. We loved the pool in the back with the view of sunset at night. Nice selection for breakfast. Came two years before but I think this time I enjoyed more. The staff were really kind and helpful :D
Perfect location in Olinda, amazing view from the room terrace on old city and Recife, historical house decorated with Art artifacts made by the owner. Nice garden for open air breakfast with view.
Lovely and helpful staff, convenient restaurant with quality food, gorgeous patio that was a delight to sit on in the evenings. Wonderful ambiance that really gives the flavor of Olinda. A++
The house is absolutely gorgeous, so many amazing period details. Breakfast was lovely, the cinnamon bread was especially good. Location is perfect for exploring Olinda on foot
Beautiful room and Guest House which located in the center of Olinda old town.
The hosts were really nice and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay there very much.
Nice pousada in a beautiful traditional house with a lovely garden with view over Recefe and the sea in the center of this marvelous historic town Olinda.
