About this place Pousada dos Sonhos

Pousada dos Sonhos (Inn of Dreams) sits in the enviable position of being within walking distance of Praia Mole, making it the most logistically ideal accommodation option for LGBTQ+ visitors whose primary reason for visiting Florianópolis is the gay beach. The pousada format — small, owner-operated, personalised — is the Brazilian accommodation tradition that sits between a bed-and-breakfast and a boutique hotel. Pousada dos Sonhos is explicitly welcoming of gay guests and has built a reputation within the LGBTQ+ travel circuit as the place to stay for access to the Praia Mole scene. The rooms are comfortable and typically include breakfast, which is the Brazilian café da manhã standard: fresh fruit, breads, cheeses, cold meats, eggs, and excellent coffee. The pousada's location means that guests can walk to the beach in minutes, return for a midday rest, and walk back for the afternoon — the rhythm of the Floripa gay summer. During peak season (December through February) the pousada books up far in advance and prices reflect the high demand; the shoulder months of November and March offer better availability and lower rates while still providing good beach weather.

We stayed in the master cabin, were super well received and attended to in the best way. Excellence is evident in everything: reception, facilities and location. If I had to sum it up in one word, sensational!

The location is extraordinary, the beach is steps from the inn and restaurants are very close. A quiet and pleasant place, with excellent service. Wonderful weather. We had an amazing time, we have to come back!

We booked this inn well in advance for a very special trip: our first postpartum vacation, our anniversary, my first Mother's Day, and also our first trip with our baby. Before booking, we were very clear about how important it was for us to find peace, quiet, comfort, and security. Unfortunately, although part of the stay was pleasant, especially thanks to the waitstaff and kitchen staff, three of the eight nights were truly awful and completely ruined our experience. During a rainy night, our room had significant water leaks, soaking bedding, our baby's clothes, blankets, and personal belongings. In addition, the heating/air conditioning stopped working in the early morning, and we were freezing. To make matters worse, there was an extremely loud metallic noise and vibration coming from the ceiling and adjacent wall of the room, which repeated itself on several consecutive nights. Our baby couldn't sleep, and neither could we. The most disappointing thing wasn't just the problem itself, but how the situation was handled. We reported the problem repeatedly, and although we were assured that the issue would be repaired during the day, it never happened. Even during the night, maintenance work was carried out with heavy tools and very loud noises while we were trying to rest. Considering the high price we paid for our stay and the type of experience the inn promises, we felt there was a significant difference between what we expected and what we received, especially given the delicate situation of traveling with a small baby. We expected much more empathy, concern, and problem-solving skills.
