My boyfriend and I recently spent four nights in the best pousada we have ever experienced, in Florianopolis, Brazil. Pousada do Atoba was the best place we stayed during our 5 month trip in South America, and one of my favorite places that I have stayed on five continents! We arrived at Pousada do Atoba around 8:30 AM and were... more

Travelling solo, as well as being the first time in Brasil, en route to meet a friend, I had no idea what to expect from the accomodation I had painstakenly chosen. After an all night flight, a full day of travel and arriving in Florianopolis at night, my priorities were personal comfort, as well as a home base that was... more

This pousada is a treasure. It is family run and Aline is very attentive to your every need. The rooms are clean and are well furnished. The breakfast is substantial and the quality of food is impressive. It is less than 2 blocks from the Santinho beach and close to a bus stop. You can book tours to other places... more

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Pousada de Atoba. 5 minutes walk to the beach (Santinho – one of the best on the island as it is very wide and never gets overly crowded), and with a supermarket and bus stop on the doorstep. I have never seen anyone work as hard to help her guests as Aline in... more

My husband and I feel like we lucked out in choosing this place. Pousada do Atoba offered us everything we needed for our stay in Praia do Santinho, so much so that we elected to stay 2 weeks longer. Knowing that Aline spoke English so well was a huge bonus! Believe me it helps greatly with reservations, directions, recommendations, etc.,.... more

We loved the Pousada do Atoba very much! The breakfast was very nice. The staff, more precisely, Aline, was even nicer. Aline helps you with every question you have in fluent english. The place is very quiet and we slept like roses here. There is a very nice ecological walk nearby on which you immediatly get to know the beauty... more

Having stayed in Rio, Curitiba, Ihla do Mel, Santinho and Lagoa on my two week trip I didn't find anywhere as good as the Pousada do Atoba. Fluent English spoken, lovely assortment at breakfast, clean pool and immaculate rooms cleaned daily, very friendly family run business who can advise on places to go and stay if moving on elsewhere. I... more
