"This bed and breakfast (they call it a “pousada” in Portuguese) in the most charming city of Olinda (which was founded in 1535), is absolutely AMAZING! The house dates back about 250 years and used to be the home of the local Bishop (José Joaquim da Cunha Azeredo Coutinho, died 1821).

Top Alto da Se Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Pousada Convento da Conceição

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice. I would stay again Consistent with being a former convent, it's simple & humble, & very clean and orderly. Nice breakfast. Wonderful location - situated at Olinda's hilltop with beautiful views of the city and water. My room had 2 twin beds & a sink (nothing more), with shared baths (very clean!) down the hallway. Know that there's still a big Catholic statue in middle of the courtyard & religious paintings around (maybe it's still owned by the church?) Receptionist 24 hours who lets you in. On street with many arts/souvenir vendors & restaurants, including Art & Grill (nice fish, but steak for one is thin & dry). Down the hill are some lively bars, & beautiful Pausada do Amparo - gorgeous hotel & also nice restaurant (modestly priced), & wonderful (but pricey!) Oficina do Sabor restaurant."
