Wonderful staff! Everyone from reception to kitchen are super friendly and make everything to make us fell comfortable. The breakfast was really good and everything fresh. The whole pousada is super charming Colonial Style and has a good vibe. The location is amazing, walking distance from everything and wonderful neighbourhood for an evening in the bar in front of the Pousada with Local music. The view from the restaurant is amazing, feels like you are in a small paradise inside Olinda.

I understand by the location is not possible to have private parking. Just as every other place around this location you have to park your car at the street.

The staff was very kind and the location perfect. A beautiful house with charm and historical decor. The definition of a boutique hotel (few rooms as well). Their restaurant Flor de Coco is good for dinner.

Our bedroom was beautiful but probably the worst in terms of noisy (milagres) as it was on the first floor on the street. Shutters (no windows) could not protect us enough and we could feel and hear every car, hear every conversation from the bar downstairs.

I have been to Olinda several times, but this was my first time staying at the Pousada do Amparo, and it was very, very good! This charming B&B sits on a lovely street in this historic city. They converted 2 adjoining houses into this pousada (they also occupy another building on the opposite side of the street). Parts of the building date back to the 18th Century & they have left much in place, but have updated enough of the space so that you have all the modern conveniences. Our room had a queen-sized bed that was very comfortable; the bathroom was nice. The room also had a loft with a really cute seating area. Our room had a view of the garden and the city of Recife in the distance. All of the employees were friendly and helpful (if not always well-informed about what was and was not open in the town). There is a pool surrounded by a lovely garden with various seating areas. Breakfast, which is included, is served in the hotel´s restaurant (Bistro Flor de Coco, which is open to the public for lunch and dinner). The quality and variety of the offerings were very nice. Parking is available on the street, which is common here, since most of the buildings were constructed before the invention of the automobile. I would definitely recommend this hotel/B&B and would definitely stay here again.

Leaving

Nice pousada in a beautiful traditional house with a lovely garden with view over Recefe and the sea in the center of this marvelous historic town Olinda.

It was very central in Olinda and in the middle of the Carnaval festivities!!

Lovely old Dutch house in centre of Olinda

Maybe a bit dark inside but not an issue

Great facilities, excellent breakfast, and a fantastic location

It was very inconvenient to move between houses (our room was not in the main house where reception is), especially since the gate button didn’t work. We had to call reception each time to come with the keys and open it for us. Additionally, the internet was down the entire stay.

It is a beautiful colonial building.

You will get a lot of noise in the room from the reception, road and next building when they have a music event. What we did not like is that at checkout they presented another bill for (voluntary) tip of 10% of the price we paid for at booking.com. We did not pay this tip and explained that we never paid a tip on the hotel bill, only on the restaurant bill.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast generous with a lot of choice. Food at the restaurant very tasty.

Room very dark, without natural light.
