This
incredibly
charming
boutique
hotel
is
located
inside
2
adjacent
mansions
dating
to
the
17th
and
18th
Centuries,
remnants
of
the
Portuguese
era.
The
hotel
has
17
rooms,
and
our
room
(and
all
the
rooms
in
the
front
of
the
hotel)
overlooks
the
plaza
and
the
Baroque
Church
of
São
Francisco
(rebuilt
in
1686).
Each
room
is
named
for
a
place
colonized
by
the
Portuguese.
The
rooms
and
the
whole
hotel
are
renovated
to
preserve
their
original
spirit.
Our
room
(Mozambique)
was
very
large
with
a
queen-sized
bed,
10-foot
high
ceilings
and
a
large
shower.
The
bed
and
the
linens
on
it
were
very
comfortable.
The
hotel
has
several
courtyards,
indoor
seating
areas
and
a
plunge
pool.
Breakfast,
which
is
included,
was
very
good.
This
hotel
is
very
reasonable
for
the
quality
it
offers
and
is
very
close
to
perfect.
The
location
is
excellent
if
you
are
planning
to
explore
the
old
part
of
the
city
of
Salvador—almost
everything
is
within
walking
distance.
The
hotel's
owner,
Bruno
Guinard
is
a
Frenchman
who
has
lived
in
Bahia
for
over
30
years.
The
hotel
employees
are
all
very
helpful
and
friendly
(they
also
speak
English).
