Pousada das Samambaias

A handy spot, close to everything you need, with friendly staff and good value. A really nice place to stay for a few nights in the area.

Great.

The two pools were clean, and my daughters loved them, especially the one with the slide. Sr. Lorenzo welcomed us warmly, and the chalet was comfortable. The double bedroom had air conditioning, and there were two good sofa beds in the living room, along with a ceiling fan and a small monitor for watching things. The kitchen was combined with the living area and had a fridge, microwave, sink, some utensils, and a four-burner stove. The bathroom was good, the shower worked well, and the towels, sheets, and accommodation were clean. We thought we’d paid a fair, affordable price for a place to explore a bit of Ilha de Florianópolis without spending too much. The location was great, with markets, pharmacies, restaurants, and an ice cream shop nearby. I recommend SABOR NARURAL. The closest beach felt too busy to us, so we went to see other beaches instead. There were a couple of small snags: the gas ran out and a light bulb burned out. I told one of the staff, and a polite young man fixed them without any fuss or complaints. The dining area with the barbecue grills didn’t appeal to me because of a smell I couldn’t identify. At breakfast on the first day, I felt unwell and could hardly eat because flies were all over the place, including on the cakes, cold cuts, and fruit. I only managed some cheese rolls from a covered container and a little coffee. My family felt awkward about it too, though we ended up laughing about the situation among ourselves. My wife suggested we go earlier the next day, and we did. There wasn’t anything like the previous day’s infestation. The kitchen staff weren’t very welcoming; they looked like they didn’t want to be working there. On the first day, my eldest daughter saw them arguing, which wasn’t pleasant. Even with those things that happened, what mattered most to me and my family was the time we spent together, and we were grateful to have had that trip.

The house we stayed in had new, clean furniture, and the bathroom was spotless. The bedding was clean and smelled fresh too. The staff were polite and attentive, which gave the inn its charm. Nothing to complain about, I’ll definitely come back. A thousand out of a thousand!
