Forte de Santo Antonio da Barra played a key defensive role during its time. Now a historic site, you can just imagine some of the scenes its mighty walls have witnessed.

When you've spent a bit of time at this Barra history-filled fortress, why not make your way to Farol da Barra Beach, Porto da Barra Beach, and Fonte Nova Stadium? They're not too far from Forte de Santo Antonio da Barra and also a hit with many tourists.

9/10 Wonderful! (693 reviews)

This hotel exceeded my expectations. First thing is the staff: excellent service, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Maintenance is also impeccable. Everything works, is clean and well kept. Breakfast is amazing! Variety, quality, flavor and nutrition are very well balanced. Probably one of the top three I've had in my life of extensive travels. The only thing really that could use a little improvement is the drink menu at the bar. The quality is great but selection is somewhat limited. We'll definitely be back.
