Pousada Solar dos Deuses

Salvador


Design-minded guests rave about the charming details of this petite pousada (guesthouse): think exposed stone and brick walls, decorative wrought-iron headboards, wood-carved furniture inspired by Bahia's Candomblé tradition, and a picture-perfect breakfast served en-suite. French, English and Spanish are spoken.
