Joia no centro de Salvador
Pros:

O Villa Bahia é um achado no Largo do Cruzeiro. A arquitetura é encantadora, as instalações foram essencialmente preservadas (não faço ideia de como conseguiram esse feito garantindo a modernização elétrica) e o staff é extremamente gentil e prestativo. Os quartos são super confortáveis, grandes, limpos e as “cortinas” sao de madeira - inicialmente fiquei receosa pq sou super alérgica, mas a limpeza é impecável. Café da manhã delicioso.
Das outras vezes nos hospedamos em outro hotel 5 estrelas da região e achei o Villa Bahia muito muito superior (para um casal sem filhos) - e naquele tive uma crise alérgica por conta da poeira e cheiro de mofo.
Recomendo muito o Villa Bahia e não vejo a hora de voltar a Salvador para me hospedar lá novamente.

Pros:

Staff are very helpful, the building is quaint the location gives you a clear understanding of what it was like years ago.

Lack of airconditioner in the common areas. Even standing fans are not a common feature in the common areas. The bedrooms have airconditioners.

Perfect Salvador stay - seeping in history, a beautiful boutique hotel!
Pros:

Loved the location, in the middle of the square. The interiors were absolutely beautiful, it really was gorgeous. The staff were lovely & so helpful, gave us a contact for a boat trip which was a real highlight. Breakfast was delicious, thoroughly recommend this hotel!

Cons:

Property was really amazing & the location was great but the streets surrounding feel a little unsafe at night. Make sure you get Ubers!
