Casa Lavinia

Top choice in São Luís


The Italian owners have achieved a truly gorgeous conversion of this 19th-century mansion. The four big beautiful rooms boast four-poster beds, polished-wood floors and stylish, uncluttered decor and furnishings from Africa, Italy, Brazil and elsewhere. The Padronal suite's bathroom alone is as big as three rooms in your average pousada (guesthouse). An excellent breakfast is served in a cool courtyard.

It's highly recommended to reserve ahead.
