Pousada Capim Santo

The property is beautiful, located steps from the Quadrado. Staff very friendly and professional.

We didn’t know what to except prior to our arrival. Once there, it was apparent how enjoyable the stay would be. The grounds were spectacular, the room was very nice and the food was the best we had in Trancoso. It was about a 10 minute walk to beautiful beaches. I couldn’t recommend this resort more. It was a wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Capim Santo. All of the staff who work at capim santo are wonderful from the car service to the breakfast staff, the cleaners to the door staff. In particular Joao on the front desk was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to help with recommending beaches, arranging a massage and helping with various requests. The room was relatively simple but spacious and relaxing with a spacious shower. We enjoyed the time we spent on the hammock in front of the room. The location of the pousada is perfect - in the center of Trancoso’s pedestrianised center. The breakfast included delicious fresh fruits and eggs each day as well as a rotating selection of cakes, pancakes and savoury items. I also recommend eating at the restaurant, it was one of our favourite meals in Trancoso. My two recommendations to the management would be 1) the swimming pool already has lovely sound of birds singing and wind in the trees, it is not necessary to play loud music as well, especially Ed Sheeran. 2) provide advice about how to drive to the pousada from Porto Seguro. Google maps recommends various routes, we didn’t know which one to take and ended up taking a ferry and driving on a dirt track. If you don’t pick the right capim santo vehicle entrance Google will also send you on roads in Trancoso that are not open to vehicles. The drive took almost 3 hours and was one of the most stressful drives of my life!

Beautiful landscaping and design. Near restaurants and attractions. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great food. A little bit on the expensive side but in line with prices in Trancoso. I would recommend this hotel since you won’t find anything better within this price range. If I went back to Trancoso I would certainly book a room with them again.

Really lovely hotel. About 20 rooms spread out through lush tropical gardens. Our room was big and very clean, with a lovely outdoor bath. It easily fitted two adults and our two young sons. The hotel has a lovely restaurant and pool. The staff were all lovely and super helpful. They can organise massages on site in their massage room too.

We stayed 1 week in Capim Santo as the last destination of 1 month Brazil! It was absolutely perfect! From preparing our trip to our arrival and during out stay the staff is extremely kind and professional. They make you feel at home. And they were so nice with our baby (11 months). Capim Santo is a green lush tropical get away, we were so relaxed. And on top of that they have the most amazing breakfast and restaurant! We loved at and will be back!
