ALBERGUE DE OLINDA

It's a bit off the main road. Signs on the doors of each room replace the numbers. So you are staying in Homem da meia Noite or "the midnight man"; in Mulher do Dia or "the day woman", in Menino da Tarde or "the afternoon boy"... These are the names of the carnival blocks. Elefante, Vassourinha; Pitombeiras; Virgens de Olinda or "the virgins of Olinda", all dressed in white... Apart from that, the place is simple and pleasant, with azulejos and a small garden with a swimming pool.
