I spent one night at Casa Santa Maria on a kitesurf downwind trip along the Brazil Nordeste coast. I wish I had stayed longer. The place is welcoming, relaxing, peaceful, and nicely decorated. At the centre of the pousada, under a large sand floored wood construction, a comfortable sofa stands as well as the breakfast and dinner table. Next to my room was the pool, actually more a small swim corridor. The room was very spacious with a lot of space to store clothes and luggage. The floor and the walls are all white painted. Everything is clean and well appointed. The bathroom is also very spacious with a well functioning hot water shower, which is not always the case in Brazil. I had dinner at the pousada, and the food was very good. Alexandra, the pousada owner, inquired about my preferences for dinner in the morning , which was very thoughtful. I selected octopus with rice, potatoes, and a pumpkin puree, which was very good. The dessert, a lemon mousse, was not up to the starter and the main course however. Staff (unfortunately not speaking English) were very friendly and professional, going to great length to accommodate my requests, whether it was cleaning the kite equipment, finding a different room from the one that had been initially booked or organising a massage. I highly recommend Casa Santa Maria for a stay in Tatajuba and would be most happy to return.
