The owners are very good people, the breakfast is wonderful and they help you organize every day with the best things to do around! I suggest you this place, I spent a wonderful week and... More

It’s a long trip to the center from the airport ; you pay around 95 Rs for this trip. Nathalie was at home when I arrived and greated me ; they have a young daughter Eleonore,... More

We stayed three nights at the Pousada. It's a nice little Pousada in the old part of Salvador and a perfect place to discover the city. Everything is more or less in walking distance. The rooms are very nice decorated in an Arabic style. Our room was spacious and quiet - despite the window to the street. We liked it... More

This place is such a find! We loved the owners, Nathalie and Marco, who created a wonderful, friendly atmosphere, took us to the African market, various music events and had great recommendations for places to visit and eat at. Who knew that Salvador would have such good pizza? The breakfast at this pousada is amazing, all people we met here... More

My wife and I had an extremely pleasant stay with Nathalie and Marco. We were spoilt with hospitality, scrumptious breakfasts with homemade jams and spacious bedroom. We returned to stay for a further night after travelling through Bahia. They have helpful tips and maps to share and we found their advice to be in tune with what we were looking... More

We stayed at pousada Esmeralda as part of our honeymoon and it was truly amazing! The owners Nathalie and Marco are truly great and lovely people! We were really pampered during our stay at their pousada! The pousada felt more like home than like a B&B or pousada. Here you really live together with the family, which is very nice.... More

Being in this Pousada is to share the life of Marco, Nathalie, their daughter and the cat, turtle and parrot :-). You will be welcomed as if you were at home! Nathalie has guided us and showed us the real life of Salvador: the traditional market, the seller of coconut water, the jazz concert. She told us the beautiful beaches,... More

Pousada Esmeralda is like home away from home. I would like to thank Marco for a warming welcome and the conversations we had. I felt very well here, like part of the family. The pousada is in the area called Largo de San Antonio, which is close to the city center. To Pelourinho is like 15 minutes walking. This is... More
