Pousada Vila do Dengo

Check-in starts at 2 p.m., and arrival has the rhythm of someone who has no need to hurry. Between reception and the rooms, the condominium's wide green area rests the eye; farther along, the water of the pools and the semi-Olympic lane draw a straight line across the grounds. The Pousada Vila do Dengo sits in the Condomínio Conchas do Mar II, in Itacaré, and it is a big house: 41 rooms and much of the day sorted out right on the property.

The rooms

There are 41 rooms, all equipped with a king-size bed, air conditioning and a minibar. The TV, from 32 to 42 inches, LED or LCD, comes with Sky service. It is a room designed for basic comfort done well, without excess: sleeping well, cooling the room down after the beach and having a cold drink within reach.

Breakfast is served at the pousada, and there is a restaurant and bar on site, which saves you the trip on the days when all you want is to stay put.

Pool, sauna and free time

The facilities are the pousada's strong point. There are two pools, one of them with a semi-Olympic lane, and a pool bar to make the afternoon last. There is also a sauna and the SPA Dengo, for anyone who wants to fit in a pause between one beach and the next.

For the kids, the pousada has a game room and a children's area, and it is described as ideal for families with children. The Loja Dengo completes the picture, and there is wireless internet in the common areas, handy for anyone who needs to check in on work without leaving the pool.

Close to the beach and the center

The pousada is located in the Condomínio Conchas do Mar II, close to the beach and to Itacaré's commercial center. The listing gives no exact distances, so it is worth confirming the route with reception when you book. Parking is on site, which helps those arriving by car.

Who it's for

For families who want a pool, space for the kids and everything in one place. For couples who prefer a comfortable base, with a spa and sauna, over a more stripped-down lodging experience. For those who work a little during the trip and need Wi-Fi in the common areas. Anyone looking for a tiny, quiet pousada with very few rooms will find a different scale here: there are 41 rooms. The pousada lists accessibility; to find out what that includes in each space, the best approach is to ask by phone or WhatsApp beforehand.
