Turn left out of Casa Flamengo and within 30 seconds you're at a stunningly beautiful lagoon where you can go fishing, take a boat out or simply relax while watching the sun go down. Turn right and you're just a minute away from one of the most popular beaches in Salvador. Known for its warm and calm waters, Praia do Flamengo is favoured by swimmers. Though it is relatively peaceful during the week, it has an incredible atmosphere on weekends, especially on Sundays when it is full of the locals eating, drinking and dancing the night away. Casa Flamengo is perfectly located to have as your holiday base. It is a short 15 minutes away from Salvador's international airport, 20 minutes from the main shopping areas and only 35 minutes from Pelourinho the historical old town with its fantastic views of All Saints' Bay and easy access to the beautiful island of Itaparica.

Further details
Manoel, our caseiro, resides on the property in his own quarters separate from the main house. He ensures 24 hr security as well as attending to the garden and all house maintenance. Astle is our management agent in Salvador. She will be responsible for the prompt delivery of the keys to Casa Flamengo on your arrival and the safe keeping of your security deposit during your stay. On your departure she will carry out an inventory check, collect the keys and return your deposit. Most Brazilians only speak Portuguese so communication can be problematic. We have employed Astle, who is multilingual; to be your main point of contact should you need urgent assistance during your stay. Although she is not a tour guide she will be happy to give advice on preferred taxi services, key attractions and the best restaurants that Salvador has to offer. There are lots of wonderful places to visit, be it off the beaten track or in the city itself. There is the most spectacular coastline to take in along Coconut Coast to the north of the city. Alternatively you can take in the many churches, museums and art galleries and shopping centres in the heart of Salvador. Salvador's eateries are generally easy on the pocket. Normally you should expect to pay about £5 to £10 a head but you can eat out for much less. Even at the very top end you will seldom pay more than £50 a head. A list of our favourite restaurants will be waiting for you at Casa Flamengo. Make sure you try out our favourite 'Pereira' in Barra. Also trying Salvador's traditional dish 'Moqueca' at the famous Yemanja restaurant is a must. There are a few numbers in the information pack of English speaking taxi drivers. Our favourite is Vilela who is very friendly but be prepared for your Portuguese lesson while travelling with him.
