This was my first visit, but hopefully not my last. The hotel, grounds, and staff were exceptional. Quite wonderful beyond my expectations. The hotel is a little gem in the middle of a beautiful and historic city. I can't say enough positive things about my experience.

Great location and beautiful home !
We felt welcomed by the hosts who were very attentive to our needs. They adapted breakfast to our food restrictions is such a kind way! The room was great too. Love the vibe of the place.

Excellent location. The place has a terrace with a nice view. Our hosts were very nice and welcoming. They spoke English, which was a major help for us. They gave us information of where to explore to enjoy Olinda and Recife. I recommend.

The WiFi is great so I could work uninterrupted for hours by the pool taking little swim breaks! The people who run it are very kind and attentive, I loved the lady who managed breakfast in the morning she was super sweet!
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.
We loved staying with Gigi! What a delightful, hardworking lady. We can't speak Portuguese, but chatted about family like old friends.
The room downstairs was a little cramped and perhaps the ones upstairs are lighter too. However, breakfast was superb and with all guests sitting around one large table, it was good to catch up on everyone's travels and experiences.
It's a noisy neighbourhood.... But the whole of Olinda is noisy because practice for Carnival is in full swing!
This hostel is incredibly nice. I almost didn't leave to go explore the city. The common areas have a gorgeous view and the place is very clean. I slept so well because they have air conditioning in the bedrooms and the bed itself I found very comfortable. The staff was so patient and kind to me with my inability to speak Portuguese and the location is so close to the water and restaurants/bars and stores, I really have no complaints about it.
Everything was exceptional. The room itself was comfortable, the bed comfy, the location beyond convenient, the staff were helpful and attentive, the breakfast was large and tasty, and the view was spectacular. Such an overall amazing experience, I cannot recommend enough. Also I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to chat with the owner who could honestly be one of the most interesting people ever.
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.
Cozy pousada on the edge of the historical centre of Olinda. The pool is very lovely and relaxing with the flowers and plants all around, so you almost feel like in the nature. In addition, there were garden seatings and hammocks which just added to the coziness even more. The breakfast was very varied, delicious and Brazilian (of course).
The room was clean and the beds comfy.
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of historic Olinda. It has its own parking lot which is definitely plus. You can enjoy amazing view from the pousada numerous viewing decks. The spot where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset over Recife , is right outside the hotel's door.
Spacious apartment with relaxing terrace and beautiful views over Olinda and the coast to Recife. Great location right next to Alto da Sé square/lookout and Cathedral. Raimundo is a wonderful host with a biography worthy of a Netflix series!
Excellent location. The place has a terrace with a nice view. Our hosts were very nice and welcoming. They spoke English, which was a major help for us. They gave us information of where to explore to enjoy Olinda and Recife. I recommend.
The quiet and tranquil ambiance with so many trees. The proximity to the heart of Olinda. Everything within walking distance. The rooms stay dark and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. we ordered dinner in the evening - also very good!
The complex was very nice with a great pool and restaurant area. Parking was straight forward. Hotel very close to the town center and all the restaurants. Room was spacious and clean. Staff on the desk were polite.
The staff is very nice and do not hesitate to help you or offer to keep the bags, use the tables and the condiments. The breakfast was very good and diversified ! The location to visit Olinda is great.
A great and central base to explore Olinda with everything walkable in a stunning old convent. Like sleeping in history. Also not far from Recife and much nicer to stay than there.
