We just returned from ten days in Brazil. Our trip started in Salvador, and we were pleased with our stay at La Villa Francaise. Stephanie is a wonderful host who speaks English well and is a wealth of information on the local area. Not only does she provide helpful tips on visiting Salvador, but she loves to share her insights... More

The quality and good value of this excellent, well located Pousada was highlighted when I tried to find another Pousada near by for some friends when La Villa Fancaise was full. Nothing in the area even came close! Rooms in La Villa Francaise are spotless, airy and bright; breakfast is very good and the location is excellent - (close to... More

Nathalie & Stephanie, French owners, will do everything to make your stay worth it. They are cheerful and welcoming. We stayed 3 nights and could count on their advice to know what to do in Salvador, and have directions. Rooms are simple but clean. The breakfast is excellent and the location in Barra is peaceful but also very convenient, close... More

Had a lovely stay in La Villa Francaise - can't say enough good things about the friendly and extremely helpful owners - highly recommended. Their French / English speaking ability proved very helpful to non Portuguese speakers!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Nathalie and Stephanie are such wonderful hosts, they will make your stay. The pousada is in the beach suburb, away from the old town and only a short bus ride away. The old town was a bit overwhelming so it was nice to get away from it. The pousada is in a safe area... More

We stayed here for carnival and it was perfect. Far enough away so you didn't get any of the noise from the parade, but only a 10 minute walk from the parade route. The breakasts were fantastic! Fresh juice, coffee, tea, freshly baked cakes and most importantly a toasted sandwich maker! The rooms were cleaned daily and were spacious. (we... More

We had a fine clean room for 5 days and was guided by the prof. and helpful owners. Very good value for the money. Safe area with cozy beach near by and several good restaurants. Nice to be able to make a little food/coffe etc.

This is a good value for money place, in a great position. They were very helpful with transport and what to do plus it was very clean. The rooms are basic and the air con old and noisy making it difficult to sleep. Its more hostel than anything else and the shower is only a trickle. It's a shame the... More

Spent 3 nights here in October 2011. They arranged for car pickup for us from the airport (80R), went smoothly. Rooms were clean and had bottled water. We arrived late, and the next day we had a wonderful breakfast, one of the best we had in Brazil. The 2 owners were great, and helped us by going over all the... More
