Pousada Brigite Hostel

Santa Catarina


A well-meaning, strong-willed eccentric is the namesake host at this budget find perched on a downtown hill with beautiful views and guavas falling from the trees. Upstairs dorms are spiffy and clean, downstairs privates follow suit, with Senhora Brigite's comfortable home in between.

Brigite is deeply involved with tourism in the region and proudly offers an excellent selection of local artisanal beers, though this is a far cry from a party hostel.
