About

Pousada Vila Das Velas

Pousada Vila Das Velas is a small inn set in Ilhabela's beach area, roughly 115 km from Sao Jose dos Campos Regional airport. The property keeps things simple: an outdoor pool area, a garden, and free Wi-Fi in public spaces. Parking is complimentary and private, which is handy given the narrow streets of the island.

Inside, rooms are described as clean and well-decorated, with air conditioning, minibars, and flat-screen TVs. The inn also has a sauna, steam room, and fitness centre, plus a bar and outdoor dining area. Breakfast is served on a deck and guests repeatedly call it excellent, with a wide choice of options.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities score lags behind the rest — While the pools and gym are appreciated, the facilities category rated only 6.0, the lowest on the property.
  • Comfort rating is modest — At 7.5, the comfort score is the second-lowest category, suggesting rooms might feel basic to some.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you travel with an animal.
  • Check-in ends at 23:59 — Late arrivals past midnight won't be possible, so plan your travel to arrive before the cut-off.

“I had a fantastic stay! The location is great, right by the sea with lovely ocean and mountain views. The facilities were well looked after, including three pools that I used even in the rain. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to arrange transport and a jeep tour around the island. Breakfast had lots of choice and was available in Portuguese and English. The hotel was spotless.”
