We loved the fact that it was 10m walk to the beach/main town. We had our privacy as there was no loud music or anything like that if we were to stay close to the beach. Amazing room with bathroom, provided towels, fridge and your own porch. You could hang out in the comunal area and meet other guests. The kitchen is fully equipped which was amazing! They have a river in the back of the Pousada which we loved. WiFi was good. The aircon was god sent! Proper air conditioning! We loved the staff, they were really helpful especially a dark hair guy which we were chatting to. He is amazing and such a nice soul! I forgot his name but didn’t forget our chat! I would recommend this to anyone and I would definitely come back!

We loved everything but it’s a bit uphill which for us wasn’t a problem at all!

Amazing and very beautiful and relaxing tropical garden just in front of your room, and views on the mountain and cachoeira. Very quiet place, you only hear the cachoeira perfect to enjoy ilha grande paradise. Small terrasse in front of my room allowed to chill outside in your own private space. 4 super cute cats help having a fun and relaxing experience. Staff were friendly, and helped me booking a transfer to the island ahead of my trip.

It is quite a bit of a walk uphill from the town, the walk is quick, but a bit tough especially with suitcase. The room was equipped in a basic way and was not super clean, I felt the cats might have peed there before judging by the smell. During my stay I would have hoped for more support from staff to help getting around and booking day trips. Smoking was allowed on the terrace, so smoke smell was entering my room from the neighbor.

I loved the location because although it´s close to the centre and all the restaurants and shops, it is out of the way, so it was quite quiet even though it was a busy time of year. There is a very well equipped kitchen so you can make your own meals if you want to and the eating area is very pleasant.

We had a slight issue with the air conditioning on the first night, but they resolved this very quickly. We didn´t mind, but there is a bit of a hill to walk up to get to the Pousada.

Well presented property - basic but some nice finishing touches. Spent a lot more time in the property than intended due to bad weather and I was offered blankets etc. and you have the option for daily cleaning. When my adapter didn’t fit the sockets, the host offered their charger for me to borrow and was able to organise transfers etc on my behalf. The property uses a lot of natural materials and it’s clear that they are eco conscious. Hot showers were ideal given the weather when I visited.

The property itself was a little further up the hill (could be a problem if you have a lot of luggage) - I liked being a little further ‘out of town’ (5 mins!) but it did take me a while to find as the location isn’t accurate on Google maps. There is a shared kitchen but it would be nice if breakfast was included. Unfortunately I couldn’t make the most of my stay as it rained non stop the entire time I was there but the host wasn’t around on some occasions (such as when I went to check out) - not really an issue for organising things as there are so many tour operators in the town.

It’s a lovely pousada im the middle of the forest, so it’s really quite and surrounded by nature, and you have direct access to the river! The best once you’re back from the beach or islands tour is get refreshed in the river!!! Also Ximena is super kind and helpful, and we talked a lot, but the place facilitate to interact with other guests and cats living in the garden, so I had a really pleasant and rewarding stay and made new friends!

They have kitchen but don’t offer breakfast, you can do it yourself as there’s everything, but would be nice to have breakfast staying on holidays :-)

Customer service is A1, the receptionist got me out of trouble after my planned tranfer to Ilha Grande went into total mess and confusion, she booked me another tranfer with another company within hours, for cheaper and more reliable service, she didn't waste time and relieved me a ton of stress, that alone saved my trip to Ilha Grande...oh, and all of that in English!

Nothing bad to say

It was clean, and the place is beautiful, close to a waterfall. Each room has its own little terrace where you can sit and rest at the end of the day. There is a commom kitchen, quite big, fully furnished and equipped to cook if you want to. The staff was great, specially Ximena, she was very nice and welcoming, and helped me with the tours and advice in general. I was doing a solo trip

In my last room, the bathroom was a bit small and the shower kinda old, but just that

The place is lovely , and you can even walk to the river from inside the pousada. The staff is friendly and useful. Beds are comfortable

I love animals, but there are too many cats living in this pousada. Sometimes, it's a bit uncomfortable having 3 cats entering your room when you open the door or find them in the bathroom in the morning as they manage to squeeze through a ceiling hole in the bathroom.

The atmosphere here is amazing. You can chill in the nature, surrounded by black cats: it was the first place here in Brasil where I enjoy actually spend time to relax in the facility! Plus is close to everything and the staff are super nice.

Basically everything was perfect. Just be aware that they open the kitchen at 7.30 am so if you plan to go hiking really early be sure to take your food in your room otherwise you will have to wait :)

The accommodation is beautiful, has cats that are cuties and calms. The environment is amazing, with many nature and a waterfall in background. The room is comfortable, clean and very cozy. Their kitchen is complete, with the possibilities cooking in the local. One of the best places that I have ever stayed in Big Island.

Nothing.
