Pousada Capim Santo

We had a wonderful stay at Capim Santo. All of the staff who work at capim santo are wonderful from the car service to the breakfast staff, the cleaners to the door staff. In particular Joao on the front desk was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to help with recommending beaches, arranging a massage and helping with various requests. The room was relatively simple but spacious and relaxing with a spacious shower. We enjoyed the time we spent on the hammock in front of the room. The location of the pousada is perfect - in the center of Trancoso’s pedestrianised center. The breakfast included delicious fresh fruits and eggs each day as well as a rotating selection of cakes, pancakes and savoury items. I also recommend eating at the restaurant, it was one of our favourite meals in Trancoso. My two recommendations to the management would be 1) the swimming pool already has lovely sound of birds singing and wind in the trees, it is not necessary to play loud music as well, especially Ed Sheeran. 2) provide advice about how to drive to the pousada from Porto Seguro. Google maps recommends various routes, we didn’t know which one to take and ended up taking a ferry and driving on a dirt track. If you don’t pick the right capim santo vehicle entrance Google will also send you on roads in Trancoso that are not open to vehicles. The drive took almost 3 hours and was one of the most stressful drives of my life!

Beautiful landscaping and design. Near restaurants and attractions. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great food. A little bit on the expensive side but in line with prices in Trancoso. I would recommend this hotel since you won’t find anything better within this price range. If I went back to Trancoso I would certainly book a room with them again.

What an absolutely beautiful experience! My wife & sister in law (who are Brazilian) and myself + two friends (all American) stayed here for the last week and absolutely loved it. Everything about the stay was great: hospitality, accommodations, FOOD, and of course the location itself. The staff at Capim Santo are top notch and were beyond helpful during the entire trip. They helped us plan many of our outings (UTV trip to a village about 1.5 hours away, ocean boating, etc). You could eat every meal at a different restaurant in the area and never eat at the same place twice! There are so many options for food and drink within a 5 minute walk, while also not being built up or over crowded. The perfect blend of relaxation and convenience. Capim Santo is a 1 minute walk from the main square and about 5 minutes to the famous church. In addition, being vegan I was concerned it might be challenging to find dishes but this was not the case at all. Not only does Capim Santo have dedicated vegan & vegetarian options right on the menu, nearly every restaurant in the area has vegan options or can take out milk or butter to accommodate. (Either the items are already marked accordingly, or they simply are by default vegan!) 10/10 would love to come and visit again!

Really lovely hotel. About 20 rooms spread out through lush tropical gardens. Our room was big and very clean, with a lovely outdoor bath. It easily fitted two adults and our two young sons. The hotel has a lovely restaurant and pool. The staff were all lovely and super helpful. They can organise massages on site in their massage room too.

We stayed 1 week in Capim Santo as the last destination of 1 month Brazil! It was absolutely perfect! From preparing our trip to our arrival and during out stay the staff is extremely kind and professional. They make you feel at home. And they were so nice with our baby (11 months). Capim Santo is a green lush tropical get away, we were so relaxed. And on top of that they have the most amazing breakfast and restaurant! We loved at and will be back!

This little pousada felt like you had been dropped inside of a tropical garden with smiling people providing beyond-expected service and excellent, fresh, and healthy food. Our mornings started with a tranquil walk to the peaceful breakfast area. Every day there were different options and endless pots of coffee. A dip in the stone-crafted pool with a capim tea or cachaca drink was mandatory when returning from the beach. Dinner at the pousada's restaurant (a sister location to the one in Sao Paulo) was excellent - flapping fresh fish and (too) huge portions. Organizing day trips was super easy with the help of the staff. They really listened to what we were seeking and offered great suggestions and organized everything for us! The only drawback was the bathroom. The shower area needed to be redone and repainted. A little disappointing. But... nothing that would not make me want to go back!

Trancoso is a special place, where the coolest Brazilian people spend their summers. And if there is one place to stay in Trancoso, it is Pousada Capim Santo. A quiet gem just a few steps away from Quadrado, the bustling center of the town with great restaurants and stores, Capim Santo is the perfect place for you to relax and be treated to the great vibes from the people of Bahia. The human aspect of this place is what makes it special. From the always smiling, sweet ladies that welcome you during breakfast, to the amazing always available concierge Gustavo, the Capim Santo team embraces you as part of the family. I want to go back now!!! lol
