“A Jewel in Brazil”

Hotel Casa do Amarelindo

5 of 5 stars
London
Apr 21, 2008

After a few days in Rio de Janeiro (not worth repeating) and a trip to the Amazon (well worth repeating) the next stop in Salvador do Bahia was approached with certain reservations.

Fortunately, who could have possibly known that this was a jewel of a hotel, run by 2 Frenchmen, in a city that does not give too big a first impression. The room, especially the fantastic bathroom, the intimate pool and the roof terrace & bar were superb as was the service. Particular mention of the barman "Sami" who had the most gorgeous smile and was more than just efficient (wish I could have brought him home), he made the best ever Caipirinhas - more than once!

In what at first glance seemed to be a desert of hotels - this was a great reward and all praise to the dedicated staff and thanks to them, a memorable 3 nights.

“True beauty and service”

Hotel Casa do Amarelindo

Apr 21, 2008

We spent our honeymoon in Brazil and stopped in Salvador for culture, history, and art. Casa do Amarelindo's location, comfort, and people were absolutely amazing. The hotel was gorgeous right in the heart of Pelourinho surrounded by arts and culture, yet the hotel has a private, relaxed, resort-type atmosphere that gives you the option to change pace and enjoy your time however you wish. The staff and owners are incredible and will do anything to help. If we go back to Salvador I would stay at Casa do Amarelindo every time, it's a gem.

“very pleasant stay”

Hotel Casa do Amarelindo

We had a very pleasant stay in this lovely hotel which combines 5 stars prestations with the advantage and charm of being small and private.
Special mention for the HUGE bed and the caipinrinha de maracuja on the panoramic terrasse.

This is a great hotel in the middle of Pelourinho. The rooms are very nice and the location is very central. The hosts and staff are very friendly and professional. It is worth the money!

“Great Service!”

Hotel Casa do Amarelindo

Apr 10, 2008

Everyone at Casa do Amerelindo was so nice and accomodating, the owners/managers Gilles and Didier and Sammy in particular. My husband and I had such a nice stay at this hotel. All we had to do was snap our fingers and they would get us whatever we needed. It's a truly elegant hotel in the historic neighborhood Pelourhino. Such care went into constructing this building and the owners put an equal amount of care into its maintenance. I almost booked a hotel in the Barra instead but am so glad that I didn't. I loved the historic neighborhood and Casa do Amarelindo's location was truly ideal. The food at the hotel is wonderful. I honestly couldn't wait to wake up in the morning because I looked so forward to the breakfasts. Mmmm delicious. Still crave them. Oh and their resident dog Brunel at the hotel is so cute.
