About
Pousada Vila Tamarindo Eco Lodge
Pousada Vila Tamarindo Eco Lodge sits on Avenida Campeche in Florianopolis, roughly 1.4 km from Praia do Novo Campeche. The 16-room property feels more like a private garden estate than a hotel, with a pool, hammocks, and yoga classes woven into the grounds. The atmosphere is quiet and low-key, a deliberate step away from the busier parts of the island.
Breakfast is a highlight—guests consistently mention homemade items, fresh juices, and local specialties. The staff are frequently praised for being friendly and helpful, whether that means arranging transport, recommending beaches, or simply making you feel at home. With parking, pet-friendly rooms, and a choice of bungalows, chalets, and suites, it suits couples and small families alike.

- Staff go out of their way — From Kito to the wider team, staff are described as friendly, helpful, and welcoming, providing useful local information and making guests feel at home.
- Location that balances access and quiet — A short walk to the beach, restaurants, and the Rio Tavares bus terminal, yet tucked away from the busier parts of the city—ideal for exploring the island.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Value is a point of contention — One guest found the price hard to justify compared to other hotels in Florianopolis, rating their experience notably lower. If budget is a priority, weigh the rates against what you'd get elsewhere.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00. If you're arriving late, you'll need to plan accordingly.
- Small property, limited rooms — With only 16 rooms, it can book out quickly, and there's less anonymity than at a larger hotel. But it also means a more personal stay.
