The Pousada das Flores is the ideal address for a cultural stay in Salvador. This hotel is installed in a tastefully restaured house dating from 1740. Since it is in the upper town, it is only a few minutes away on foot from Pelourinho (historic centre). Ideal for visiting the numerous baroque churches, pride of Salvador, walking in the streets lined with colourful houses, and buying unusual souvenirs in the small craft shops (embroideries, basketworks, sculptures). To reach the lower town, there is a 230-foot elevator landing a few steps from the marina and Mercado Modelo (the renowned traditional market of Salvador). Beaches, however, are at a distance: they border the southeastern part of the town, starting at Farol da Barra. Count 10 minutes by car.
The Pousada supports charity projects in Salvador: If you have clothes, toys, or medications to donate, make room for them in your suitcase...
