Pousada Maleleo

Porto de Galinhas


Run by a very friendly English-speaking Italian and her husband, this cozy pousada across the road from the beach has just four rooms set in an ample rear garden. Breakfast is served in a thatched hut overlooking the water. There are plenty of animals on the property – cats, dogs and turtles – and travelers with pets are welcome.

Young children are not accepted.
