Muffig und klamm

Die Pousada Irradiante entsprach nicht meinen Erwartungen. Mein Einzelzimmer hatte keinen Balkon, wie angekündigt, sondern nur einen Miniaustritt. Das Zimmer war feucht und roch muffig. Als ich nach vier Tagen meine Reisetasche gepackt habe, war meine gesamte Kleidung klamm. Die Air Condition konnte ich wegen der starken Geräuschkulisse nicht nutzen. Das Badezimmer (WC) war nicht sehr (sauber). Positiv waren der phantastische Blick von der Veranda auf Olinda und Recife sowie die freundliche und hilfsbereite Art von Suzana. Am Abreisetag durfte ich zudem mein Zimmer ohne Zusatzkosten bis abends nutzen. Die außergewöhnlich gute Bewertung der anderen Gäste kann ich mir nur damit erklären, dass sie in dem Studio im 1. Stock gewohnt haben, das sicher nicht so feucht ist.

Demais essa pousada!!

Excelente pousada no ponto central de Olinda! Sem dúvida a melhor vista da cidade. Raimondo, o proprietário, nos recebeu com muita simpatia! Pousada bem simples porém muito aconchegante, voltaria com certeza. Ah, o café da manhã é daqueles de ficar sentado ali por horas comendo e conversando.
Segura essa vista da varanda!

This bed and breakfast (they call it a “pousada” in Portuguese) in the most charming city of Olinda (which was founded in 1535), is absolutely AMAZING! The house dates back about 250 years and used to be the home of the local Bishop (José Joaquim da Cunha Azeredo Coutinho, died 1821). The b&b is kind-of hidden, but not hard to get to: just down a flight of winding stairs behind the local observatory. The premises are stunning. When we got there, I thought we’d just rented a suite, but we got a duplex: a library, kitchen, conference room, 2 bathrooms, 2 balconies, 2 bedrooms and a living room. The views from both the upper and lower balconies are panoramic: with views of the old city, the beach and the state capital of Recife in the distance. There is a small pool on the lower level surrounded by the most beautiful plants, next to the dining area (where breakfast is included and is prepared especially for you the way you like it). The property manager is fabulous too. The property is owned by an Italian who is a ceramic artist, and the property is decorated from top to bottom with his unique sculptures and ceramics. I can’t say enough great things about this place and I hope you have the chance to spend a little time in this bit of paradise!

Feriadão com família

Incrível nossa estadia na Pousada irradiante. Tinha reservado quartos em uma pousada próxima, mas essa não aceitava pet. Então reservei uma suíte na irradiante pra minha mãe ficar o seu pet. Quando levei minha mãe pra fazer check in, seu Raimundo nós presenteou com um upgrade e ela foi realocada no loft: que vista, que comodidade. Mas o diferencial da pousada é o proprietário, seu Raimundo tem a expertise do bem receber, encantou a todos. Façam uma visita e confiram.

Without a doubt Irradiante is THE place to stay in Olinda. We stayed in the Loft - well worth the money. Raimundo is a consummate host. Beautiful house, beautiful view - great staff.

Pra se sentir em casa.

Pra que busca conforto e hosptalidade é lugar certo, o anfitrião Seu Raimundo e o funcionária Suzana recebem muito bem. Me senti em casa. Vim a trabalho mas retornarei com a minha família. Além de tudo isso a vista é maravilhosa.

Anbefales

Vi hadde et veldig fint opphold i loftsetasjen med to store soverom og stue og en stor veranda med fantastisk utsikt ( uten skygge for sola om dagen). Frokostplassen i hagen var sval og lå fint til. Personalet var hyggelig. Området var fredelig med et lite torg like ved der folk samla seg om ettermiddagen.
