Barra · Salvador, Bahia
A two-level penthouse in Barra for up to six, with three bedrooms and a private roof terrace: bar, sun deck, hammocks and open sea views.
The whole roof belongs to the penthouse, with an outdoor shower for after the beach.

Upstairs
Step out from the top-floor living room onto white tiles and open sky. A turquoise mosaic bar with stools, a dining table and red chairs sit under a canopy of coloured ribbons; past them are the sun deck, a cushioned daybed and the hammocks. There is room for a few friends, and the sea is in view.
Furnished like a home, with art from Bahia on the walls.

Getting up there
A banana-leaf mural runs up the stairwell, and a black spiral stair climbs to the roof. The building has no lift: the apartment is on the third and fourth floors, so pack for the stairs.
Optional packages Paul can arrange for your stay.
Paul and his partner live in Salvador and know its calendar. These are their own photos of the city's festivals, from flowers carried out to sea to Carnaval in the street.
Barra is Salvador's seafront point, where the bay meets the Atlantic. Photos courtesy of Google.

Casa Apolo is hosted by Paul and his partner, an English and Brazilian couple who live in Salvador and have been welcoming guests for sixteen years. They renovated the penthouse and furnished it the way they would want a home to feel, and they can arrange breakfasts, cleaning, a stocked bar, or music for a festival night on the roof. Ask them anything about the city.
