Pousada Bela Lisboa

Pousada Bela Lisboa

Nine rooms, two floors, five kilometres back from central Penha, Pousada Bela Lisboa sits close enough to Beto Carrero World Theme Park, thirteen minutes on foot, that families roll in from the rides still buzzing, and close enough to St. Michael Beach, 2.9 kilometres away, and Skull Island, 1.4 kilometres away, that anyone chasing coastline has options within a short drive. Rooms run from a 323 square foot Standard Double with garden views to a 646 square foot one bedroom apartment, each with air conditioning, a mini fridge bar, and a private bathroom with a separate toilet, shower, hairdryer and bath sheets, details a nine room guesthouse rarely bothers with. What sets it apart is the shared kitchen, where guests cook their own meals rather than default to a hotel restaurant, which suits self caterers and families stretching a Brazil itinerary far more than anyone wanting service handled for them. A concierge and tour desk arrange excursions, private check in and check out run from three in the afternoon to noon, and Armacao de Sabores sits 650 metres away for the nights nobody wants to cook. It is fifteen minutes by car from Ministro Victor Konder International, and Castelo das Nacoes is a sixteen minute walk for anyone curious about Penha's history beyond the theme park crowds. A five percent local tax is added at the property, on top of the room rate. This suits people passing through Santa Catarina with a car and no interest in paying for polish they will not use, not anyone wanting a lobby bar or a spa afternoon. Nine rooms in Penha, a shared kitchen instead of a restaurant, and rooms with mini-fridges and proper bathrooms rare for a guesthouse this size. It suits self-caterers and families near Beto Carrero World with a car, not those wanting service at every turn.
