Just kidding. (But this is the way we feel about the place.) We might be able to explain the bimodal spread of this property's rating scores, with most of them in the 4-5 range. It might have to do with expectations. What to expect? The neighborhood is not 'upscale,' but it was perfect for us (two 'mature' professionals who qualify... More

I picked out this Pousada from this site and I was happy to get what I expected. Lovely place away from the noisy Floripa. Clean room and bathroom with a good hot shower.Fantastic breakfast with home made pastries, waffles, natural juice, cold meat , different kinds of bread, and more, accompanied by very good coffee, which, in my opinion, is...

I visited this pousada with my wife, mother-in-law, and parents in a recent trip to Floripa, selecting it after researching Floripa accommodations for more than a month. The most important things to say about this pousada are that it lacks in cleanliness and we did not find it to meet the description on the website, or indeed in this forum.... More

We stayed here for four nights and couldn't be more pleased -- well run, clean, and comfortable. The only aspect that rivals the pousada itself is its ideal location on one of Floripa's most beautiful beaches. More

Away from the touristic Northern part of the Island of Santa Catherina you will find an oasis of peace and tranquillity in Pousada Penareia in Armacao. Directly on the beach, the sea is just a few steps from your room in Penareia. The "de luxe" accommodation is the best value for money by far. Spacious, clean rooms with a large... More

My husband and I traveled here with my parents (in their 70's) and it was important to me that we stay in a convenient location where my parents could get around easily and enjoy their time in Florianopolis and be close to the beach. We absolutely LOVED this pousada! The breakfast is fantastic with an array of fresh fruit, juices,... More

We loved this Pousada. From the amazing breakfast (Catarina is the chef, and she makes cakes, pao de queijo, fresh waffles, and there are fresh juices every morning) to the beach in your backyard, this Pousada was absolutely perfect. We will stay here again. More

I am an American who lives in Argentina married to an Argentine. For those who understand and know Brazil, this pousada is very non-Brazilian for being in Brazil. It is more European than Brazilian that is to say...Klaus, the owner, is Austrian-Brazilian and it shows in the details of his pousada. We love Brazil and the European touch makes this... More
