The Privillage Pousada was one of the most wonderful places we have ever stayed. The Brazilian owners Vinicius and Andrea have really created a paradise. The place is a little magical garden literally right on a beautiful beach. The grounds are covered in flowers, mango, papaya, coconut, and cashew trees. There are two nice outdoor living rooms to stay in the shade, or out of the rain. The pool is very nice looking over the ocean. The restaurant is a cool thatched roof hut, and the food is great - always made fresh and from scratch. They were very accomodating of our specific requests. The breakfast is highlighted by an abundance of fresh beautiful fruits. Our days were spent rotating from the beach, pool, and restaurant, and we rarely had any need to go into town (which was a nice 15 minute walk along the beach). The staff were great, all with great smiles, super friendly, and quick to take care of any request. Most importantly, from the moment we arrived, and Vinicius greeted us with a shot of his own Cachasa, the owners really made us feel welcome and we were treated like like family (or even better :-)). We spent many moments in great conversation with homemade coconut drinks, and always felt like they were doing everything to make our visit as perfect as possible. We have new friends in Vinicius and Andrea, and all of us can't wait to get back there.

I stayed there for one night only, after canceling 1 night (working as an air crew, we had schedule change, and the owner was nice enough to not charge us anything for the cancelation, even though we notified him only a day before).
The location is at the far end of the village, a little far from the center, but other than that- just perfect. Overlooking the ocean, among trees and a dining room with the ocean view. What can you ask more?
Rooms are a little small but cozy with a hammock in the porch.
The owner is a great conversation gentleman and he even arranged to get us to the village with his driver instead of a taxi. The food at dinner was very tasty as it was a local dishes, like I asked. I recommend this place very much!

The gracious owners have carefully created a garden oasis on this Arraial d’Ajuda beach, just meters from the famous Pitinga beach. They tastefully designed and built the dining room, outdoor living room, pool decks with cabana, and pousada rooms with natural materials and details. At breakfast, the homemade cakes and fresh juices were first class, and one could order eggs as well. Their staff was friendly and helpful. The owners even incorporated eco-friendly rain, gray, and black water systems into their landscape. I do recommend them for a quality vacation.

Yes, I forgot yo tell ya guys: I went back to Privillage !!! I found things even better this time. To begin with, we went around chasing birds . . . in order to photograph them, of course !!! Privillage's been given a varied sorts of colorful birds (you must look at the U-tube) and they are lucky to have a nest and a shade there so to rest from birdyeing around. You ought to see'em. Time has improved the place, no matter where you look Vi and An are always trying to change things for the better. You ought to stop by and see it.
