Pousada Do Amparo

“Incredibly friendly, helpful service.”

Hats off to Jacqueline, Carlos and Victor. They went out of their way to help me, especially through the complex process of buying a phone chip in Brazil.

Hats off to Jacqueline, Carlos and Victor. They went out of their way to help me, especially through the complex process of buying a phone chip in Brazil. They were wonderful in every respect and will make your stay in Olinda a pleasure. I had a room in the annex across the street and it was quite spacious with a four-poster bed and an outdoor bathtub (the view from the street is blocked so don't feel shy about using it.) The breakfast was bountiful. Fruit, cheeses, meats, cakes and bread plus coffee and juice. It will keep you full till dinner time. Dinner at the restaurant was also delicious and reasonably priced. Once more all my thanks to Jacqueline, Carlos and Victor my first friends in Brazil.

“May 2019 A wonderful week's stay”

We loved our time here, flying to Recife from Rio, for a week's adventure and glimpse of the N.E. We had planned to spend some time/days in Recife, but Olinda was such a pleasure to explore and wander that we never made it! Pousada do Amparo was a great place to stay, with friendly helpful staff, very tasty breakfasts and evening meals. (I'm still savouring the shrimp and coconut dish!!) The building too with its old wood, arty objects, pool to dip into after a day's wandering was a delightful and relaxed place to return to. It's well-situated to explore the old town, and there's a super Bodega de Veio across the cobbled street where you can enjoy a chilled beer, some great music and welcome.We loved it, we even had a rooftop open-air bath! It's not a a modern Hilton-chain place and all the better for it,. The staff could not have been more friendly nor helpful. We loved it!

“Charming place to stay in historic Olinda”

The pousada consists of two old houses on opposite sides of the street. We were in the annexe right up at the top under the eaves, with a terrace and an outside bath. Yes this is a quirky place but it exudes charm and every room is different I'm sure. Our room was huge and bed comfortable and eleg… lisää

The pousada consists of two old houses on opposite sides of the street. We were in the annexe right up at the top under the eaves, with a terrace and an outside bath. Yes this is a quirky place but it exudes charm and every room is different I'm sure. Our room was huge and bed comfortable and elegant with its four posters. The bathroom was a bit tired however and we had no hot water for 24 hours. Admittedly it had been raining nonstop but I think the override heater was not working as it did get fixed in the end. The first night we arrived late and the hotel gladly cooked us a meal, which was tasty, a local moqueca. Breakfasts are good, buffet style with eggs to order. Altogether a charming an friendly place despite not much English being spoken. But sign language seems to work!

“Old Charm”

This old converted building has charm, but it comes at the expense of modern convenience. Our room was at the top of the building so it was hot and the outdoor shower meant exposure to bugs.

This old converted building has charm, but it comes at the expense of modern convenience. Our room was at the top of the building so it was hot and the outdoor shower meant exposure to bugs. The location is good for walking the circuit of the old town and for easily visiting the main square and its views. Breakfast was included and good. The front desk also helped us to arrange an affordable guide/driver to visit Recife.
