Pousada Sinhá Olímpia

Pousada Sinhá Olímpia

10/10 Excellent
"This place is absolutely amazing! So much charm!! It has everything you need for the perfect weekend getaway, while giving you a feel of being in the perfect country cottage.The entire property was clean and the every member of the staff were so nice and accommodating. It's far enough away from the main plaza that it's quiet and peaceful, but close enough that you can still enjoy everything the area can offer. One of the best places we have ever stayed and hope to be back very soon! (It looked exactly like the pictures.)"
