Pousada Capim Santo

$$ | Rua do Beco 55, Trancoso, 45818-000, Brazil Fodor's Choice
This delightful, family-run pousada set right on the Quadrado is one of the oldest in town, dating back to the '80s when owner Sonia arrived from São Paulo with the first wave of hippies and began cooking up delicious food in her kitchen. These days, its 20 barefoot-beach-chic rooms, spread through 10,000 square meters (2.5 acres) of tropical garden, remain one of the best value options in Trancoso, combining vibrant hospitality with a great restaurant, lovely breakfast, and tranquil pool.

Mata N'ativa Pousada

$$ | Estrada do Arraial s/n, Trancoso, 45818–000, Brazil

Location is prime here, right on the banks of Trancoso's river, three minutes' walk from the beach and the downtown square. As the name implies—Mata N'ativa means "native forest"—the pousada is virtually hidden under the canopy of Atlantic Forest. In the rooms, large beds with bedposts holding mosquito nets add to the rugged ambience.

Pros

  • Pleasant rooms
  • Eco-friendly environment

Cons

  • Rather rustic
  • Very secluded
