Why stay at Pousada Bárbara?

• Colorful, full of character: handcrafted figures, hand-painted furniture and welcome signs give the pousada a cheerful personality, unlike the more neutral options downtown.
• Two pools on the same property: one with a straw-roofed deck and shower next to the bar, another with curved edges surrounded by garden, lit up at night.
• Historic center with sea views: from the high point of the property, on Largo São Sebastião, you can see the ocean over the tiled rooftops of the village, even though the pousada isn't right on the sand.
• Homemade breakfast: a buffet with fresh fruit, bread and eggs served every morning, no need to go out for coffee.

Rooms are spread across a two-story building on the property, reached by an outdoor wooden staircase, with balconies facing either the garden or the pool area depending on the section.

How to get to Pousada Bárbara

Natal's airport is a bit over an hour away by car. To skip the hassle of driving or finding a cab on arrival, it's worth booking the Vive Pipa ride, which drops you right at the pousada's entrance. Renting your own car works too: there's room to park inside the property, though it's best to flag it ahead of time since it sits right in the village center.
