About

Pousada Recanto Da Villa

Pousada Recanto Da Villa sits in the Centro Historico of Ilhabela, a UNESCO-listed historic center that's home to the Zócalo plaza. The property is about a 25-minute walk from Itaguacu Beach, but its real appeal is being in the middle of the town's shops, restaurants, and transport links.

Guest rooms are simple and comfortable, with balconies in several categories, air conditioning, and garden views. The heated outdoor pool, garden area, and communal spaces make it a laid-back base for exploring Ilhabela, with staff earning repeated praise for friendly and attentive service.
