A great team: all the staff from management to reception, restaurant service, chambermaids and gardeners were super friendly and helpful. Thank you very much!!
Very tasty, varied and diverse breakfast, free cake buffet in the afternoon and good food in the evening.
The rooms are well furnished and all have a covered balcony, always very clean and with very good beds.
For us, the very lovingly maintained garden with the beautiful pool area was a highlight.
In addition, the regional works of art tastefully distributed throughout the hotel and in the garden rounded off our great impression!!
For us, an oasis of well-being!!

That was the worst place I have booked 21 nights to me and my wife and my baby boy (1y). The room was completely dirty. Everything was dirty. They gave a very dirty bed to my baby boy. I left with my family the same night I came. I COULDN’T SPEND ONE NIGHT THERE.

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.

Communication was prompt and easy,we booked it just few hours before arrival.Our room was nice and location is perfect.Highly recommend this place!
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.
The pousada is extraordinary decorated with art. The staff is very nice and always helpful. The breakfast offers a rich variety of mouthwatering brazilian foods. Our kids enjoyed the relaxed atmoshphere and to play in the swimming pool. Our room was nice and offered plenty of space for 4 persons, the air conditioning worked very well. Within 2 minutes walking distance you can find a nice cafe / restaurant, a super market, a bakery and several providers of local food and even a hairdresser.
I had an amazing stay here! The house is gorgeous – it's beautifully decorated and full of character. I loved opening the windows to enjoy the evening breezes (it is winter at the moment!). My room was very comfortable and had good A/C, hot water, and WIFI. Graça was so helpful in organising my stay and suggesting things to do, and Rita made an amazing breakfast every morning. Olinda is a charming and very easygoing place. I can't wait to come back! Obrigada!
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.
This is a very small "pousada" with only 3 well separated rooms. Everything in the room was very good and the environment was quite and relaxing. There are many bars and several good restuarants within a 10 min walking radius. I had no problems walking around late at night and will defintely stay again if I am ever in Olinda... and possibly Recife.
Unique accommodation of an old convent with a perfect location in the historic area of Olinda. You can explore the convent including the Chapel, a small room with history of the place and huge terraces overlooking parts of the city. Staff were friendly and professional. The room was plain but was exceptionally clean and functional. Nice shower.
Great stay! Very clean & comfortable, with touches to make it feel homely. Daniel was very welcoming and can advise on the local area. Brilliant location by centre, feels safe. Kitchen is spacious & well stocked with utensils, dishes & appliances. Shower had good pressure. Would be out first choice on a return to Olinda.
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!
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.
Very friendly family-run ladeira in the center of Olinda. The location is beautiful, close to all the center sights. I really enjoyed chilling at the pool and the quiet atmosphere. The breakfast was also very yummy!
