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.

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.

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!
