Pousada Natur Campeche is a 21-room inn on Campeche Beach, near Praia Mole. You literally walk across the street and through an empty lot, and you're on a beautiful beach that you can walk for miles in either direction, apparently one of the most popular beaches for surfing. The hotel has rooms and suites, each with a theme from a country around the world, as the owner loves to travel himself, and is an inveterate collector. The hotel is protected with a high gate, green gardens surround the small swimming pool. It's very secure.

Easily accessible by mass transit from the center of Florianopolis, or by taxi from the airport, a few miles away.

The breakfast was outstanding, lots of fresh fruit, Brazilian breads and great coffee.

The owners are extremely attentive, and make this a welcome place to stay. Free wireless internet, plus a computer in the lobby downstairs for your convenience. more
