This boutique pousada is perched on a hill overlooking one of the most unspoilt stretches on Brazilian coast - the 'Costa dos Corais'.

With just 12 rooms, including a 360º crystal glass suite on top, it is quite different in many ways.

The views are stunning and panoramic and invite the guests to sit, admire and to get to know each other.

Pousada do Alto is situated in the centre of the 'Costa dos Corais' (Coral Coast) which stretches from Carneiros beach in south of Pernambuco and along the north coast of Alagoas State, near Japaratinga village south of Maragogi town.

The cuisine is a mixture of Italian descendency and 'Nordestino' with strong seafood influence.

Note this is an adults only hotel, due to its stunning position on a hill top, which makes it unsuitable for young children.
