ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
14:00check-in11:00check-out

A ladeira é de pedra e íngreme: se vier de carro, pare na Praça do Carmo e nos chame: a gente desce para ajudar com a mala. De táxi ou aplicativo, peça para subir até o número 88, dá para chegar.

Rooms

Your room

Six rooms, each with air conditioning and a ceiling fan. The windows are the original wooden ones and do not seal well, so the air conditioning only works with them closed.

Breakfast

Served in the courtyard from 7am to 10am, under the mango tree. Tapioca and cuscuz made to order, cassava cake, and whatever fruit the market had that morning.

Facilities

The house

You have the courtyard, the lookout, the kitchenette and the laundry at the back. The lookout stays open until 10pm and is where most people end the night.

House rules

The house is from 1878: the floorboards creak and sound travels up the stairs. Tread lightly after 10pm. No smoking indoors; the courtyard and lookout are fine.

The area

We are at the top of Carmo, four minutes from the Sé and seven from the Ribeira market. All of Olinda is walkable: uphill, but walkable. Old Recife is 25 minutes by car.

Where to eat

From the stuffed pumpkin at Oficina do Sabor to the old shop where you drink standing up, our page lists the places we actually go to.

Experiences

Things to do nearby

The lanes with a guide born here, the workshop where the giant carnival puppets are made, and Saturday night maracatu rehearsal, which happens in the street and is free.

Practical info

Practical information

Dona Neuza is available from 7am to 8pm; after that, WhatsApp. The pharmacy on Praça do Carmo delivers up the lane, and Léo's motorbike taxi carries luggage uphill.

Quick instructions for anything that is not obvious.

How things work

Portão da ladeira

É pesado e abre puxando para si, não empurrando. A chave grande é a do portão; a pequena, a do quarto.

Ar-condicionado

O controle fica na parede, ao lado do interruptor. As janelas são de madeira antiga e não vedam: feche-as antes de ligar.

Subida do mirante

A escada do mirante fica atrás da cozinha. A luz acende por sensor no primeiro degrau.

Café fora do horário

Se precisar sair antes das 7h, avise na véspera que a Dona Neuza deixa um cuscuz e uma garrafa térmica na mesa.

Simple agreements that make the stay better for everyone.

House rules

  • A casa é de 1878: as escadas são de madeira e rangem. Passo leve depois das 22h.
  • Não fumamos dentro. No pátio e no mirante, à vontade.
  • No carnaval a casa fecha às 2h: quem for pular, leve a chave e avise.
  • A mangueira do pátio derruba fruta. Não estacione bicicleta embaixo dela.
