Pousada Arte do Urquijo

Back

This quirky pousada has a nice location close to the quay (and alongside a Thai restaurant!). There are 6 ensuite rooms, with 3 standards and 3 themed rooms, including a Japanese room. Three of the rooms face over the bay, and 3 over the town. All rooms have air conditioning, safety deposit box, TV (Brazilian channels only) and queen or king size beds. There is a minibar in the hall outside the rooms. Two of the standard rooms have balconies with either a hammock or chair. The stairs are quite steep leading to the rooms. The rooms are comfortable but compact and a couple have quite low, sloping roofs. The pousada has a bar/lounge, breakfast room and yoga deck. No outside footwear is permitted inside the pousada, but slippers are available at the front door.

Highlights
