Pousada Mar de Sonhos

Einfache aber saubere und für Ilha Grande komfortable Unterkunft. Sehr reichhaltiges und abwechslungsreiches Frühstück. Herzliche Gastgeber. Fabiana hat uns auch hervorragende Abendessen gekocht. Leonardo ist ein netter und hilfsbereiter Mensch. Mit ihm haben wir eine Bootstour zu diversen schönen Stellen der Insel unternommen.

Man muss ca. 15 min bis zum Dorf gehen. Der Weg ist beleuchtet. Die dadurch einsamere Lage ist aber von Vorteil, wenn man Ruhe möchte. Wir haben es genossen.

Fantastisk beliggenhed Fabiana

- Fabiana and Leonardo are very friendly hosts. If you love animals, you’ll be delighted – they have quite a few. - The accommodation is spacious and perfect for those looking to truly disconnect – it sits just above a small, secluded beach, about a 15–20-minute walk from Aratiçiba beach. - In addition to the included breakfast, it’s also possible to dine on-site. The meals are delicious and lovingly prepared. - The view from both the room’s balcony and the dining area is stunning. - The house is close to the beautiful Lagoa Verde (accessible only by boat). - There are also several beautiful hiking trails nearby, ranging from moderate to challenging.

However, a number of important details – which should have been mentioned in the advert – affected the overall quality of our stay: - While the place is indeed great for disconnecting, it is absolutely inaccessible for people with reduced mobility – you must climb 70 steep steps to reach the house. This was not specified in the advert. - Although Fabiana’s meals were good, they were also very expensive: she charged us R$160 per day per person (about €25) for a dinner consisting of a single dish (no starter or dessert). Given that Fabiana asked us what we did for a living (specifically if we were students), that these prices were not mentioned anywhere beforehand and only revealed at check-out, and that we were the only guests during low season, we felt the prices were arbitrarily set based on the guest. - The location is quite remote – far from Abraão and about 15–20 minutes from Aratiçiba beach (the trail is steep and rugged, though beautiful – it’s just something to be aware of). While the remoteness has its charm, it also entails significant transportation costs, as taxi boats are expensive. You can go through Leonardo for this: we paid R$375 per person (around €60) for a round trip between the pousada and Angra dos Reis. Leonardo also offers excursions around the island – we paid R$500 per person (around €78) for a one-day tour. It's worth noting that during this excursion, Leonardo left us for 40 minutes on a small island with no activities (except a closed church), due to a fuel shortage. Given the price of the tour, we did not expect that. - The accommodation itself, while charming, is rather basic. The mezzanine bed was covered in mold (see photo). - There’s no mosquito net, which is a real downside: you can’t keep the shutters closed at night because they trap the heat, and we were bitten by mosquitoes every single night. - The accommodation isn’t very secure either. It doesn’t lock with a key – just basic shutter latches – and there’s no safe.
