Pousada do Baluarte in Salvador de Bahia

zuletzt aktualisiert am 05.01.2010

The Pousada do Baluarte is a snug little house built in the 60's in the peaceful neighborhood of Santo Antônio Além do Carmo in the historical centre of Salvador.   In front is the 16th century Forte de Santo Antônio, where today the meetings of the angola capoeira group led by master João Pequeno, the successor to Pastinha and Moraes, are held.   With just a few simply decorated yet charming rooms, the Baluarte offers personal service in a very family environment. Evening meals served up with good conversation on hot summer nights are a specialty as is a sumptuous breakfast of tropical fruit, juices, cakes and fresh bread is spread out on the airy veranda by your hostess Zelina, who together with her French husband, Jean-Paul, are the owners.
