In terms of location, this hotel couldn't be in a better place. It is in the heart of the old town a stones throw from many visits. You can easily access the elevator to the Mercato Modelo & also the harbour for boat departures to nearby destinations ( like Morro de São Paulo). Villa Bahia does not feel like a... More

Though stayed just one night in Salvador I liked this small, boutique hotel right in the centre of old Salvador. The building and reconstruction was all neatly done, one almost feels like in a Provence or Bordeaux maisons. I liked the rooms and bathrooms, nothing is modern here but all is well preserved and well functional. Offers amazing atmosphere when... More

We really loved our stay here. Although it is in the centre, where you may feel slightly uneasy, we didnt feel this way at all. The rooms were large and spacious and decorated fantastically well. Breakfast was good, although we were left disappointed that there was no choice given regarding cereal or how much fruit you could have. I was... More

We loved this place. The hotel looks like something out of Interiors magazine. The staff are lovely, food excellent (the best we had anywhere on our trip). The rooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated. The hotel is in the historic centre, which is fascinating and lively. We can recommend Carlos Barbosa as a really well informed and charming tour guide.

This hotel is charming, full of character at the best location in Salvador. Rooms are beautiful with nice bedsheets and towels. Breakfast is delicious and the restaurant also serves delicious food.The staff is very friendly. The location is excellent: next to the most beautiful church Sao Francisco and next door to Delegacia do Turista (Tourist Police). This area of Pelourinho... More

The hotel is absolutely beautiful and our room was located on the 2nd floor. The room was lovely and beautifully decorated and we had a cute little balcony with a view of the Igreja Cathedral. The location of the hotel was perfect, it was right in the centre of the historical centre of Salvador and the staff are very nice.... More

My daughter and I were on a 42 day trip to Brazil starting in Rio the Janeiro for Christmas and New Years 2012, travelling up the coast, arriving in Salvador January 2013. We really needed a tranquil base from which to explore and rest, and Villa Bahia was just the place. The beauty, style and service of this place restored... More

I've been a bit remiss in writing a review, as we stayed at Villa Bahia in August of 2012. The hotel is fabulous. Tons of local character, beautiful little courtyard where you have a decent breakfast. I requested the Goa room which was just as appealing in person as in the photos (and noise was not an issue even though... More

I'm a flight crew crew member normally staying at airport Marriotts or Hiltons so this was a wonderful change from those hotels. The hotel is very clean with large rooms in a great location to explore the city. The hotel is located in the heart of the central old town area. We had excellent free high speed Internet service.
