Pousada Tortuga

When you walk into Pousada tortuga you will embrace yourself into a magical place , surrounded by native plants with tasteful fruits ( that are served during breakfast ) that were planted by his owner, Mariano , one of the coolest person we met during our Bahia trip. Not only the Pousada is cleaned and neat but also has its own private beach making an excellent place for those who love proximity to beach sea. Every morning Josi and Alessandra will prepare a wonderful and fresh breakfast for all guests . Not only the products used are local and organic , moreover Josi is a master in the kitchen . We are passionate about cooking as well and Josi shared with us so many of his cooking tips !! When we decided to look for a place to stay during our time in Barra we wanted to be away from the more tourist area so the Pousada was the perfect location; however as the Pousada is around 25’ walk to the city village take into consideration this if you are not an enthusiastic walker as we are. Overall we have a wonderful staying at Posauda Tortuga and definitely would recommend to anyone who travel to Barra Grande. Obrigado amigos ! Junior & Jorge PS : Josi thank you very much for such wonderful talks during breakfast and for sharing some of your wonderful recipes with us .

If you aren’t an enthusiastic walker it may be a little bit far from the city center

Right on the beautiful beach and a short walk to a great sunset spot. Pleasant grounds with a nice sea breeze. Breakfast cooked to order. The host and other staff were patient and helpful with our lack of Portuguese.

The roads in Barra Grande are rough! Next time we would follow advice and rent an ATV for exploring.

very good location

the pillows were not very confortable
