Pousada do Amparo
This eclectic pousada is made up of two colonial houses with soaring ceilings; wood and brick details, original artwork, and an indoor garden lend considerable warmth to the cavernous spaces. It's a member of the exclusive Brazilian Roteiros de Charme hotels group. The hotel's restaurant, Flor de Coco, is a highlight; set on a tiered terrace and surrounded by tropical plants; it serves great caipirinhas and regional specialities in a romantic setting.
