Room Details
Salvador’s Pelourinho might be charming and picturesque, but its steep hills and crowded streets can be tiring – which is why Casa do Amarelindo is such a welcome oasis for travellers. This beautifully restored 19th century building offers 10 lavish rooms. There’s a terrace swimming pool, two bars, two interior garden patios. The chic on-site restaurant dishes up locally sourced cuisine with tropical flair.
Rooms are spacious and well-appointed with solid timber floors, soundproofed French doors, soaring ceilings and a super-king-sized bed with premium linen. Our private patio was drenched with sunshine and offered superb views across Pelourinho’s rooftops and the vast, sparkling bay. Our bathroom had a tropical rain shower, which was simply divine. Other rooms offer hydro-massage bathtubs – a rare treat in Brazil.
The rooftop bar is a relaxed, breezy affair. It’s the ideal place to enjoy a cocktail and watch the sun sink into the bay. Their list of caipirinha flavours is long and tempting. It was a truly memorable moment to sit out there of an evening, watching the boats on the water and the city lights twinkling in the distance – the perfect nightcap.
Breakfast is definitely worth waking up for, but in this hotel you can eat it whenever and wherever you want – by the pool, on the balcony or in the restaurant – it’s up to you. The coffee is strong, the fruit fresh and the tarts and pastries delicious. Of course, with French owners, we would expect nothing less.
Standard Double rooms start at R$399, Superior rooms start at R$429 and Deluxe Bay View rooms start at R$469.
