Despertar Saudade

3.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (7)
"The staff are great, the room is clean, and you'll find everything you need, even if it's not in the room, in the shared kitchen. They're very hospitable, and the check-in and check-out are easy. You'll see the hotel is old from the outside, even the door is old, but when you enter, you'll see everything is new and modern."
