Pousada do Amparo is a small, elegant, hotel, located in the colonial heart of Olinda. Beautifully decorated with classic and contemporary brazilian art, it also boasts a small restaurant on a tropical veranda overlooking Recife on the horizon. Your experience at the Pousada will definitely depend on the room you choose, which are spread across 4 or 5 colonial row-houses... More

Had a really nice stay in the Pousada do Amparo. They looked after us really well - helping us to find an ATM, arranging airport transfers and generally being really nice. We weren't in the main hotel but just across the road in large, airy room with a four poster bed, outside bath (!) and a hammock chair. The room... More

I moved here from the 7 colinas hotel (glorious garddens but poor service and depressing rooms). The Pousada do Amparo, located in a couple of heritage buildings, is stylish and friendly, although rooms on the front of the hotel might be noisy (I was on the back, with a lovely garden view and Recife in the distance). As a walk-up... More

No doubt that it is a hidden gem, a truly value for money spot and the best hotel of our 12 days trip around Pernambuco coast. We had a very nice stay at this amazing Inn in the heart of the historic Olinda (very well located, by the way). Our room was gorgeous and superb, with an old and classic... More

We had a great stay at the Poussada, Bento and the front desk team were excellent and impressively helpful. We have little Portugese so the assistance and helpful attitude was first class. Rooms in the Annexe were really characterful, clean and the feel of a boutique hotel, we decided to stay an extra night and were in the main Pousada... More

Firstly I liked very much the charm of the Pousada do Amparao. Very agreable location, charming old house, professional reception by Diego. But, but, but, afterwards how disapointing !!!!!! To go to the bathromm, you have to climb down a 10 meters dangerous staircase. The electric shower cant give you warm water, there is no hair dryer, the toilet bowl... More

Nice decor etc. Rooms are basic especially the much cheaper rooms on the left of the reception area (an add on), where bathrooms are shared. They did not provide any soap for the bathroom (said too many guests take off with the soap). Disappointed. The more expensive rooms were slightly better. Generally found that if you waled in without reservation,... More

Location is great and gives the feel of a historic building. Rooms are a bit small but clean and comfortable. Service is great. Garden area and pool are okay but full of mosquitos. But this par for the course in most places with gardens. Definitely find a place in this general vicinity
