“Very non-Brazilian for Brazil....which is good for those who know Brazil.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I am an American who lives in Argentina married to an Argentine. For those who understand and know Brazil, this pousada is very non-Brazilian for being in Brazil. It is more European than Brazilian that is to say...Klaus, the owner, is Austrian-Brazilian and it shows in the details of his pousada. We love Brazil and the European touch makes this place a bit classier than the typical Brazilian pousadas. The service is very good, Klaus is extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel has a very good breakfast bar which is included in the rate. Armacao beach is more isolated than the other beaches in the northern part of Floripa, but it is the ideal place for those who don't want the hussle and bussle of the common beaches. You need a rental car in order to get around the island. We recommend this hotel.

“Value for money - Lovely Pousada”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2010

I stayed her together with my wife and my parents. A very nice pousada in a quiet part of Floripa. The owner KLaus is very friendly and helpful in guiding you through the places where to go to. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. Perfect hot shower!
My parents occupied the room with the BBQ place, a nice option. The ´linving room´ gives you a nice option to relax, read, pool or do some table games.
Great breakfast with deliicious self made bread and juices!
Muito obrigado Klaus!

“Great Location for those who don't like crowds”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2010

It had good reviews on this website and chose to stay there with my wife for four days. Close to the airport and better yet away from all of the tour bus traffic on the north of the Island. I would rent a car as this location is a little further away from the populated areas..... and get a GPS with the rental or take your own. The rooms are clean and comfortable... and yes the breakfast is great. Klaus the owner was great giving us help with our day trips on the Island. Overall really a best bet!

“Great breakfast!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2010

Klaus, the owner, is very friendly. The breakfast is extraordinary, with homemade cereal bars, cakes, and breads and a large selection of fresh juices, cheeses, meats, and cereals. Rooms are clean and big and have nice comforters and pillows but otherwise don't have a lot of charm. Bathroom is nothing special, but the showers have lots of hot water. The common room in the pousada is really nice, with comfy couches and lots of DVDs. Beach by the pousada is not great, but several beautiful beaches are within walking distance.

“Beautiful B&B with AMAZING breakfast and great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 March 2010

Pousada Penareia is a beautiful B&B right on the beach. The breakfast is the most amazing breakfast I have ever had at a B&B. There are homemade cakes and breads, fresh squeezed juice, fruit, yogurt, granola, meats, cheese, waffles etc. It is so impressive and delicious. Klaus (the owner) was helpful with providing tips about where to go on the island for dinner and which beaches are the best. We walked the beach right in front of the Pousada but spent the most time on the Matadiero beach (about a 20 minute walk). The rooms are very comfortable and well-maintained. I highly recommend this Pousada Penareia!
