Pousada Villa dos Sonhos

Morning reaches the garden first. The low light filters through the leaves, touches the water of the outdoor pool and slips in through the balcony door of the room. At Pousada Villa dos Sonhos, right by the BA-001, the day begins slowly: breakfast included in the room rate, a dip before deciding on a beach, and the road just a few steps from the gate.

The rooms and the balcony

Every room has a balcony, a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Some look out over the pool, and it's worth asking for one when you book. The balcony is where the day begins and where you return at the end of it, after the salt and the sun.

Pool, garden and game night

The setup is that of a roadside house, designed for staying put: outdoor pool, garden, private parking and free Wi-Fi. There is also a leisure area with a pool table and an arcade machine, a good option for late afternoon, when the group comes back from the beach and nobody wants to head out again.

Reception is open 24 hours, every day of the week. Anyone arriving late from the bus station or coming back from a night in the center will find someone to open the door.

The road as an address

The pousada is on Rua B in Loteamento Dom Rafael, on the Itacaré–Ilhéus highway (BA-001), around km 4. The Itacaré bus station is about 5 km away. The beaches of Concha, Resende and Tiririca are about 6 km away. This is accommodation for those with a car, not for walkers: the private parking takes care of much of the logistics, and the distance brings what the center can't offer, namely the garden, the pool and a quieter night.

Who it's for

For those traveling by car who prefer a quiet base, with a pool and a balcony, to having a busy street at the door. It works for couples and groups of friends, and the games area appeals to those traveling in a group or with family. It's not the choice for anyone who wants to walk to the beach or to the restaurants in the center: the distances call for a car or transport.
