Rooms with unique decor

Hotel Villa Bahia has 17 rooms on 3 floors. Each room ranges from 28 to 40 square meters and features a differentiated décor, some with 4-poster beds and wooden floors, some with twin single beds. All rooms reflect a particular period in Bahia state's history. Some rooms have interior garden views or views of the square and São Francisco historical church. Amenities encompass air conditioning, ironing facilities, AM/FM alarm clock, flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, a mini-bar, a terrace and a private bathroom with a hot shower. The rooms located on the upper floor include a small balcony.

Dining

Hotel Villa Bahia features onsite restaurants. The most emblematic dish is the moqueca: shrimp or fish cooked in dendé and coconut milk. Everyone knows this cocktail made with cane alcohol and limes. You can find a nice bar with excellent music.

Leisure and activities

Hotel Villa Bahia features two garden courtyards, a refreshing plunge pool and a panoramic terrace. Guests can experience Bossa Nova on every street corner. Guests can explore the tropical forest on the coast south of Rio, and the coves, beaches, and nearly deserted islands all along the coast. After a few evenings like that, busy tourists might prefer more popular, and even more isolated sites such as Mangue Seco. The inland region features mountainous massifs such as Chapada Diamantina. The MAM, whose location on the shores of the bay and buildings from the colonial era alone are the trip.

Location and attractions

Hotel Villa Bahia is located in Comercio, featuring a busy ferry terminal and wide avenues flanked by grand 19th-century buildings. It is set in two traditional colonial houses featuring a terrace with panoramic view to the Pelourinho. The hotel is within walking distance of popular churches, stores, bars, restaurants, art galleries, banks, exchange offices and schools of capoeira, samba and percussion. Landmarks nearby include Fonte Nova Stadium (1.5 km), Fundacao Casa de Jorge Amado (0.5 km), Basilica of the Immaculate Conception (1 km), Mercado Modelo (0.5 km), Church of the Third Order of Saint Francis (0.3 km), Church and Monastery of Saint Benedict (0.5 km), Elevador Lacerda (0.5 km), Praca da Se (0.3 km), and Sao Marcelo Fort (1 km).

Services at Villa Bahia

Your host, Bruno Guinard, a Frenchman who has called Bahia home for 30 years, has implemented genuine local participation and sustainable development practices within the Villa Bahia. The decoration of the hotel recalls historical moments of the Brazilian History, including the roles played by the Portuguese explorers, the African slaves and the Asian trade exchanges along the last centuries.

“This boutique hotel, set in restored colonial houses, offers a unique sense of place right in Salvador's historic district. The location is ideal for exploring Pelourinho and other cultural attractions. I found the blend of historical architecture with modern comforts particularly appealing.”
