“Excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Was staying at Vila Pitanga for 3 days - and had an amazing stay there. Denise is making a huge difference by being extremely service-minded. She recommended me great local restaurants to go to and even helped me out with booking and picking up a ticket for the bus to Rio. Rooms very nice & clean and the atmosphere in the lobby and at breakfast was great. I can highly recommend both couples and singles to stay at Villa Pitanta. Best regards, Ole (from Denmark)

“GREAT PLACE!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

people found this review helpful

My partner and I spent 11 nights at this lovely place over XMAS 2011. Denise the owner was very friendly and helpful prior to our arrival and once we arrived nothing changed.ALL the 'girls' who worked at the Pousada were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We had a great breakfast which was served from 8am in a light and airy room and all the people staying while we were there were friendly and engaging. Our room was fine, everything you needed for a chilled out holiday in the sun. The location of the Pousada is ideal for those wanting to explore the whole area of Buzios and we loved the local beach which was about 10 mins walk away. There was a tranquil feel to the place which we enjoyed given that we had just spent 5 days in Rio.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the first floor, you get more privacy and even better views!!

“Charming Getaway in Buzios”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights in Vila Pitanga in December and wished we planned for a longer stay. The pousada is extremely clean and tastefully decorated up on a small hill in a safe residential neighborhood about 15 minutes walking to the main center Rua das Pedras. It's also about a 10 minute walk (in opposite direction) to Ferradura beach, our favorite beach on Buzios. If you choose to take a taxi to and from town, the cost is $R15 which is about $USD8. Once you walk to the main street (5 mins), you can take local vans that zoom up and down Buzios to visit some of the 15+ beaches. The cost for the public van is $R2.
The breakfast consists of fresh fruits, cereal, yoguart, cake, toast, cold cuts, cheese andmade-to-order eggs, and of course tea and coffee. The freshly squeezed OJ is delicious!

Denise the owner, like everyone else mentioned, is warm, friendly and super helpful. The two restaurants she recommended were the best seafood places (O'Barco and David's Restaurant) we had in both Buzios and Rio. She even helped us book the bus transfer from Rio Int. airport to Buzios which was a big help since private car hire was expensive and other small van agencies were hard to reach if you didn't speak portuguese. On the 2nd day of our trip, we discovered our ATM card numbers have been stolen and Denise stayed late with us to help us call our bank in the US. She truly strives to provide the best service and homey environment for her guests.

Thank you Denise for such a wonderful vacation in Buzios, we loved it and hope to stay at your pousada again!

Room Tip: The rooms upstairs have hammocks.

“Lovely place”

We had a fantastic 4 nights stay at Vila Pitanga in December 2011. The Pousada is very clean, serves a substantial breakfast with eggs, fruit, bread, yoghurt etc., has a good location with walking distance to two beautiful beaches as well as the city centre. Not to mention the owner Denise who is very friendly and happy to answer any questions you might have. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Buzios.
