Pousada Esmeralda Bed & Breakfast — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Salvador

This Pousada has exceeded our expectations by far (even though we read the positive reviews beforehand)! Nathalie and Marco were outstandingly friendly hosts. With their warm and welcoming attitude, they made us feel comfortable the moment we arrived. They gave us advice on what sights to visit in Salvador and provided hints to interesting alternative cultural events. Moreover, they knew a lot about the region: In our case, they provided different recommendations for our next stay on our journey, the Ilha Boipeba.||In the morning, we had a delicious breakfast with home-made marmalades and cakes in a very familiar and relaxed atmosphere. ||Our room was nice too, with comfortable beds and tasteful decorations. And: Very, very clean. We left Salvador in the evening and could keep our room until 8 pm on that day.||The location was great too: It's located in the old part of the city and very close / in walking distance to the main sights of Salvador. In the evening, we went out by foot since this part of town is safe. In the neighbourhood, there are bars with nice live music and restaurants with good food. ||Thanks Nathalie and Marco for making our stay...

We stayed for 4 nights at Pousada Esmeralda and everything was perfect. Its location is in the Santo Antonio district, part of Salvador's safe-for-walking Historical Centre. The room was spacious, clean, and nicely furnished, the WiFi was good, the breakfast was excellent, and we had fresh towels every day. Best of all, owner Marco is an exceptional host who takes wonderful care of his guests. He speaks several languages (including English, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish), is a font of information about what to see and do in Salvador, is a good conversationalist, helps with transportation plans, and really makes the extra effort to ensure that his guests have a good stay. For example, one day he drove us to a local market where Candomble ceremonial items are sold and gave us a personal guided tour around the market. In summary, we highly recommend Pousada Esmeralda and hope we have the opportunity to stay there again sometime. Thanks for...
