Trancoso hotels

Pros: Clean rooms, nice garden and great breakfast...totally worth of the value

Pros: Breakfast is amazing!

Pros: I would highly recommend this hotel. The bungalow was spacious, the breakfast was incredible the staff went out of their way to be helpful. A beautiful pousada and very reasonably priced.

Pros: The staff are great, very accommodating with my requests. Everything was perfect. I'll come back and refer it to my friends.

Cons: I really wanted to use the Jacuzzi, but they have just one and the system of scheduling the use in advance, by hour, didn't worked for me.

Pros: The garden is amazing. Very comfortable and relaxing. Excellent location and they have parking lot too. Breakfast delicious!! Staff very helpful.

Pros: Great breakfast, great location, had a massage it was FABULOUS. Ask for Patricia for a massage.

Pros: Great breakfast, awesome staff, comfortable room. Amazing location!

Cons: BED CLOTH CLEANNESS / MAINTENANCE

Pros: The location was the best. Near to the best restaurants and stores at Quadrado de Trancoso. The room was clean, with a large King bed, which was very comfortable! The hotel offers breakfast and a afternoon snacks which is great when arriving from the city tour. There is a simpatic dog receiving everyone in the hotel, its name is Joaquim! :)

Pros: Excellent location steps from the Quadrado, with easy walking access to the beaches. Nice sized rooms, properly functioning AC, big bathrooms, very nice bath sheets for towels! Lovely grounds, hammock on my porch. Very helpful and nice staff.

Cons: Breakfast was a bit odd--instead of a traditional buffet with then separate orders for additional things, they came around with a cart of food and unloaded it on your table, then asked if you wanted something from a menu. I found it to be pretty wasteful and the breakfast food wasn't of the highest quality--poor selection of fruits, and the breads they gave were incredibly dry and flavorless. I would've preferred a buffet where I could skip the dry breads, and just get some fruits and whatever else I actually wanted to eat myself.

Pros: Gaston, Fran and everyone at Samambaia made us feel very welcome and at home. The food was excellent, the setting of the lodges superb and its location is really good - just outside the town and a short walk from the Quadrado.

Cons: Wish we could have stayed longer

Pros: Everything! Spotlessly clean, staff were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to help us (Thank you Gaston!) and a really nice breakfast spread. We got the chalet room and it was perfect.

Pros: Staff was really gentle

Cons: Parking the car was complicated, small room not more than 4 places

Cons: Breakfast could be better.

Pros: Friendly Staff, good breakfast, A/C, clean property, parking, close to town center.

Pros: Luciano was very hospitable and made our stay very special!

Cons: Two nights we had trouble getting to sleep because of loud music from a nearby bar/party - it continued until 4am, so take good earplugs!

Pros: Great service, very clean, good breakfast, nice pool area, very comfortable beds and hammocks.

Cons: WiFi in chalets further from main building does not work

Pros: Everything was fine - we had a small celebration - our son was getting married in Trancoso, and we had a "prepary" by the pool at Samambaia! Very nice! Everybody working at the pousada were so nice!!

Pros: A great stay from start to finish - really friendly and attentive staff, lovely pool, delicious breakfast, very clean chalet, WiFi (though not in the chalets), a good location (5/10 min walk into town), afternoon drinks and snacks provided. Overall a really nice atmosphere and we would stay again!

Cons: Our only complaint is that the chalet is advertised with a kitchen, which it does have, but there is no equipment! No pans or cutlery or anything, so it seemed really pointless having it... and we had hoped to cook a bit as Trancoso is very expensive to eat out. So I would suggest they at least supply some basic cooking equipment

Pros: Sophie and her staff are lovely, generous, and kind. We felt at home and could’ve stayed forever!!

Pros: Everything is amazing here.

Cons: There's no specific point.

Pros: The staff was incredible with us. Our room was every day clean and comfortable and I highly recommend this hotel. Excellent cost x benefit!

Pros: Great breakfast, lovely and informative staff, great lounging places, excellent pool

Pros: Staff and environment were great. Really charming place.

Pros: The staff and the owners were very friendly. The customer service was excellent. I would definitely recommend the pousada to all my friends.

Cons: The only thing needs a bit of work is the shower room. It works but needs some TLC.

Pros: clean and well finish room even if simple, professional staff (thanks Rafaella for your kindness, thanks girls for your attention) nice place, delicious breakfast, luxuriant nature, very pleasant space, good position (although not in the center of the night and day-life but in any case very close, 10 minutes walking, for the beach 15 minutes less or more), good value for price.

Cons: zero

Pros: We had the best experience at Pousada Jardim das Margaritas. The hosts are simply lovely and they will personally take care of any of your needs with professionalism and kindness. They even spontaneously upgraded us to a better room for free. Position is very good, just 5 minutes walk to the Quadrado (restaurants and shops area in Trancoso). Breakfast is very tasty and boasts a wide offer of brazilian and international specialties.

Pros: Very cosy place. Perfect for couples. Very responsive staff

Pros: this is the place to stay in Trancoso, has a lot of history and the restaurante, pool and breakfast are simply amazing, i am coming back as soon as i can. everyday we walked for hours in deserted beaches.... absolut paradise!

Cons: that i only stayed 5 nights, i wanted to stay there forever

Pros: Our stay was “almost” perfect. Breakfast, location and size of the rooms are great. The only problem is reported below.

Cons: We had two rooms (family of 5) and we got suites 6 and 7. These are the closest suites from the restaurant, so if you are planning to sleep before midnight (like us) don’t take these rooms! They are literally “inside” the restaurant, which is very good but also very busy and noisy.

Pros: Excellent breakfast, ambience and super clean!

Pros: Literally everything and notably the sweetness of the staff. All of them.

Cons: The pool isn’t as fancy as the hotel. Yet its cute. But It can be more Trancoso.

Cons: wifi

Pros: Perfect place to stay near Quadrado! Fantastic staff!

Pros: Pool space and breakfast are the highlights of this place.

Cons: We hardly saw anyone at the reception

Pros: A beautiful pousada located close to the Quadrado, nice modern rooms, amazing garden with a big pool, awesome breakfast, and super friendly staff, everything exceeded my expectation!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Walking in felt like taking a fresh breathe of air – they had superb landscaping with a picturesque pool area. The pousada is located on one of the main roads leading into the quadrado. The location works well for visiting the beach during the day and quadrado restaurants during the night. They serve a solid daily breakfast.

Cons: This was a solid choice during a very busy week in Trancoso. It was pricey for the level of service which was likely a reflection of peak pricing rather than their normal pricing. Some quick wins: - bathroom door handle although novel was relatively a pain to use - update toliet seat with a hard-top rather than soft-top - potentially set expectations on soundproofing aka that there is not much

Pros: Breakfast was insane, i basically had a tasting menu every morning. The pool area is gorgeous. Just a 10 minute walk to the quadrado. The facilities are so clean and pretty.

Pros: Beautiful pousada, great style, very nice furniture and decoration Very good breakfast Amazing pool Nice cats and dogs Good location, close to the quadrado

Cons: Noise from the house next door

Pros: Everything!

Cons: Little far from the beach and no kids area

Pros: It is a lovely B&B, clean, comfortable beautiful. The walk to the quadrado is nice, there is a supermarket nearby, which was useful since I have a 1 year and a half old son, also the B&B serves only breakfast. It was very useful that I could fully use the kitchen to cook my son’s meals. We went out to restaurants for lunch and dinner, there are great eateries. We loved Jacaré do Brasil. Capim Santo was rated high, but we found it to be mediocre and expensive for what it offered. There are many restaurants that are good. We loved the coffee bar for late tea it’s nice to seat out and watch what’s going around. Another nice cafe is Santo Cafe, they serve sandwiches, great plane for a quick lunch also Le Marché on the Main Street before you turn into the Quadrado the staff and the owner are super friendly.

Cons: The beach from the B&B is quiet a distance and can be uncomfortable with toddlers and strollers.

Pros: Good breakfast, lovely swimming pool area and warm people.

Cons: Bath room a little bit tigh.

Pros: Close to Quadrado, friendly staff, beautiful garden and really nice breakfast.

Pros: The pool area was stunning. It was like having pur own private jungle hideaway. Staff were so helpful and the bungalow exceeded our expectations. It was spacious and very well appointed. Breakfast was very good with a wide variety.

Cons: Our bungalow was on the other side of a wall separating the main road so had a bit of street noise. Animals crawling on the roof at night also bothered my partner, but it is very wooded despite being so close to the quadrado, so I thought this was reasonable. Worth noting perhaps if you're a very light sleeper.

Pros: Hot shower but basin only runs cold water.

Pros: Everything perfect

Pros: Super location Spacious Tranquil Relaxed

Cons: Credit Card payment was not possible

Pros: Mauricio and Bea were exceptionally friendly. The pool was great, and the room had everything we needed including a good mosquito net. The pousada was very tastefully furnished. Just a five minute walk into the main quadrado area, the perfect distance to balance convenience and privacy.

Pros: The rooms are simple but comfortable and spacious. Also the outside terrace with a sofa and a hammock is a very enjoyable perk. Breakfast is very good with lots of choice. Location in Trancoso is very good.

Pros: 5 star location, near the bustling historic commercial center, the square, and the beach. Unusually friendly staff. Triple room is actually a 2 bedroom casita. Unusually good cable tv and internet.

Cons: screens in windows could help tremendously. Trancoso was full of mosquitoes the time we visited, and the glass-less, screen-less windows did not help. on the plus side, the wooden window coverings did block out noise and light surprisingly effectively.

Pros: Great pousada in a great central location. Quadrado only 5mins away by foot and beach around 20mins. Staff is very friendly and helpful and are very welcoming. We had a lovely spacious and bright family room with a terrace. Great breakfast!

Cons: Although our room was great the only slight negative I would say is that it was a bit noisy as it was next to a busy road. But as it is a central located pousada it is probably quite common to get the noise too. Also, if you need a babycot for your stay try and make sure you secure it with the pousada before you arrive.

Pros: Gorgeous giant balcony with hammock and day bed. Huge room with very comfortable beds. The best breakfast we had in our 30 day trip. Great location that's under 5m to the quadrado and 20ish to the beach.

Cons: Room 2 was a bit noisy as it is right across from a park where the buses from other towns stop with daytrippers. Room had a bat living in the bathroom. We changed rooms to a normal double from the family room and it was a lot smaller (75%) with more of a motel feel.

Pros: Everything was GREAT!!!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Clean, educated people, excellent cost benefit

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The Pausada is very well located, close to Quadrado and 10 mins walking distance from the beach. The property has nice yard with a lot of palms and nice pool. Breakfast was decent.

Cons: The staff was not speaking English. The room was very humid and the remotes for Airco and TV were not working. One of the night lamps was not working as well. In general room was different compared to the pictures. The pool was not looking clean, but maybe this was due to the fact that July is not a strong season and there were not many people. What I found strange was that I wasn't asked for any official document like ID or passport.

Pros: We loved staying in poussada Jacaranda. Facilities are great, such a nice bungalow, beautiful garden, great pool area and easy for young kids. Service was excellent too, always discrete and very helpful.breakfast is very nice and complete. We felt very good and we will can only recommend the place!

Cons: We loved everything

Pros: Really nice place and friendly hosts. Great location close to the quadrado.

Pros: The hosts Marco and Bianca and their children were lovely! As well as being welcoming and helpful! The breakfasts were fantastic and show-cased very tasty homebaking! The rooms were ideal for our family and the property itself was in a beautiful, quiet setting.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We spent a couple of days in this cozy and charming bungalow close to quadrado. Jacarandá is problably the best pousada we have been during our Brazilian trip. The staff is very professional and kind, they cooked fejolada for us <3 and also help us to book a bus to Salvador. Luciane is the best host you should find and Chris the best chef ! The cafè de mahna in front the swimming pool was delicious and HUGE!

Pros: The commom area: pool, Garden and coffee lounge is super cozy and pleasant! The room is big and confortable and you'll wake up with birds singing. It is pretty special!

Cons: One day when I went out in the afternoon and noticed that I was alone in the inn, there was no staff. As I heard reports of assault and robbery in Trancoso, I felt a little insecure. This situation happened only once and, although the staff is extremely friendly, helpful and attentive, it is important that they make sure that this kind of situation do not happen again.

Pros: The staff are very nice and friendly. I felt at home. The rooms are very well decorated and clean. Love the energy of the place. A lots of green with native nature. I would totally go back again!!

Pros: Quiet place.

Cons: The smell of rust in the water coming out of the taps.

Pros: Absolutely loved our stay! The place is gorgeous, thought through and just beautiful. I am really bad with names but the nice lady at the front desk who gave us a tour was so sweet, she really made our stay great from the moment we stepped in. Thanks so much for a perfect time!

Cons: Absolutely nothing.

Pros: Staff, location, value, room.

Pros: Wonderful place.

Pros: Helpful staff, excellent food and drinks, friendly and calm atmosphere, size of the room, proximity of room to facilities and best of all... to the beach!

Cons: The smell of humidity perhaps in the bathroom was a bit too strong, although there was no mold to be seen anywhere. And the first night, the strong organic smell on the corridor in front of the door to our room

Pros: Very nice Pousada... perhaps with furnitures a bit oldish but the location is really great.

Cons: Furnitures a bit oldish but not a major issue...

Pros: Pousada Jardim de Trancoso is a cozy and clean place to stay. The staff is very friendly. The location is in a quiet area where there are several pousadas. Everything is within walking distance, including the beaches in Trancoso.

Pros: The bed; the beach

Cons: Breakfast; the garden; service
