Description
This restored 19th century mansion, originally built for the governor of Bahia State, is a gem of a guest-house with its wood floors and high ceilings. Tucked just a block away from Barra Beach, on a quiet street, it is close to many good bars and restaurants. A comfortable sunny living room and an airy dining room are on the ground floor while the rooms are reached by climbing a polished wood staircase.
There is a large TV in the lobby/living room.

Insider Tips
Manga Rosa is a 10-minute walk from Shopping Barra Mall and nearby bars and restaurants.
Try the home-cooked Austrian food (that’s right, Austrian food in Brazil!) a block away on Rua Cesar Zama (see Restaurant listings).
